Really? Machinarium won? Don't get me wrong, I love the game and I encourage everyone to throw their money at all of Amanita Design's games, but IT'S ON SALE AND IN HUMBLE-STYLE BUNDLES ALL THE TIME. C'mon, son.

I've had a copy of Frozen Synapse in my inventory forever now if anyone wants it. It's just been sitting there. First person to quote me gets it.
I'd love to try it.

Cleaning out humblebundle's. Please don't clutter the thread with thanks posts. Apologies in advance if any are taken. I don't think they are though.
Aight, thanks
Might get it then since my pc needs a little overclocking in the near future.Syphon Filter

Did steam release the update with the new settings interface? Or is it still in beta?
I know they buy cards to get to that level. But don't their foil and pack drop rates increase?

How is Machinarium guys?
will do. I'm glad you like what I've posted so far. the game really is a sight to behold. I'd recommend you playing it at some point, especially with that really great price on GMG.
I'll also agree that the first chapter is pretty slow but once you get towards the end of the second chapter the gameplay really opens up with the light and shadow magic abilities. It really makes you think about your play style.
I haven't played many of these character action games but with Castlevania I'm really beginning to understand their appeal. As a long time Castlevania fan I'm not even offended at the ways Lords of Shadow 'modernized' the series either. Some level sections even are somewhat sidescrolling
The way I look at it is not really buying games as much as buying variety.
I have a huge list of games, and I like that. I sort of treat it like Netflix for video games.
For a lot of the stuff, the games seem cool enough and they're cheap enough that for me it's worth paying the small price just to always have a huge library to choose from.
It's basically paying a price to have as few restrictions as possible. I like being able to play any game I want on a whim and for it to always be simply a download away.
I've got ~350 games. I haven't beaten most of them. I won't beat most of them. But I love being able to flip through and have a huge variety of options and have something to play for any mood.
And c'mon man, 75% off?! You gotta have it!!!
Problem is... I think we all already did. Yet it won over something next to no one has yet probably. It's why these have been likened to a popularity contest, there'd be popular games everyone has winning out over ones that haven't gone on sale as often and aren't owned by practically everyone just yet. The popular game may well be the better one, but it makes it seem like people are voting JUST because they're fans of the game rather than because they actually haven't already gotten it.
Though admittedly sometimes you own the other games too or they're crap anyway, but I think among the group that follows Steam seriously enough it's not really an unknown treasure anymore.
Yea, basically used for those 2 reasons. I will note that I tested a GPU over clock with it, a small it ran fine and performance was looking great, but in actual games it ended up not being stable.
So it's definitely not a definitive stability test either.

Machinarium is gorgeous and the music is fantastic. The puzzles are okay too. You can't go wrong with it at this sale price. Buy it now so we don't have people voting for it over new games that could use the exposure.
It's like an ever expanding library that you can't keep up with. I play and beat some of the games, but there is always new stuff every season and the prices are too good.

So far I am about -$2 in terms of damage so far. No games bought, only cards sold.
the way i see it is its more like a library than a collection, I like to be able to play whatever I want whenever I want on a whim...
...at least thats what I keep telling myself

It's charming, it's magical, it's a fair challenge in terms of puzzles. It's one of the best modern point-and-clicks around.
I'm glad for Amanita because that means more people will buy it.
its awesome if you like P&C adventures. super charming, looks great, cute story
How many times did you run it? Normally I loop the benchmarks enough times to last a couple hours to test.

You uploaded a couple of them that really do shine. Keep it up because they are great, I remember one with some sort of brown "creature" and I was like: this game looks amazing. Great colors indeed. I have a family friend who become a huge fan of this game and I guess I'm starting to understand why.

Nice. This game is pretty much DayZ, but in a large city. I love it.
If you liked TWD, you'll almost certainly like TWAU. It's a prequel to the comics so no knowledge is necessary.
It's $1 at groupees.
To the Moon is great. I hope you enjoy it.
So far I've got about 8 worth of damage. Not to bad, especially considering I got 6 games for that...
https://groupees.com/hh
QUBE and 1 more for $1 minimum
edit: beaten like a lady kicking snow at a stray cat

Dear Lord... there are sales everywhere... I can't cope with this anymore, or my wallet can't
Ran it for an hour or 2.
But like 20 min into a game the GPU would crash.

Now that is a great deal for one of the best puzzler.
