I'm sure someone here would be willing to help you out.
See my edit. I'll get it on GMG, with the voucher it'll only be like two bucks more than Gamestop.

I just want to be sure that I can gift this. Preferably, I don't want to give the Steam key to my friend, but I want to gift the game through Steam. Can I do that with a key bought on GMG? I think I can choose the gift option (vs installing the game for myself) once I redeem it through Steam but I'd like to be 100% sure.

Is there a way to get an email alert whe a particular game goes on sale? I can't keep tabs on this thread or steam over the next couple of days, and I want to grab South Park if it drops some more. But even though I have it on my wish list, I think steam won't send me another reminder because it already dropped a little bit?

Nope.

Steam gives email alerts for games on your wishlist.

My friend was playing this mod for a while, it looked insanely tough at times.
For normal players, yes, it gets crazy but part of the mod is to force players to think if they should stick around and try to finish the mission or just suck it up and run back home. Unless you are a god at the game like Beaglerush or Marbozir, sometimes you just have to run away. But since you have more men to use (8 most of the time) you have more tools on hand, which is why the mod plays a bit harder, in effort to make you use more of your tools.

Steam's notifications are exponentially slower than usual during sale periods, though. I didn't one for Tropico 5 at all when it was a featured deal during the Autumn Sale.

The few things you learn in vanilla classic/ironman are applicable to Long War, and even then LW decides you should unlearn it anyway.

Has Divinity:Original Sin been on sale yet? I've bought a key from Gamesdeal.com and the key hasn't arrived and support seem to be ignoring me.

Was wondering whether I' should wait and see if it goes on sale, or keep pestering support.

Ultra SF4 40% as a daily? Hmm. Probably going to wait for another opportunity and just play the other stuff I got this sale.

So humble keys apparently expire because the teleglitch key I just won told me its expired now.

Who thought that was a good idea? More idiotic shit form humblebundle.

The Teleglitch key probably came from that Humble store promotion a few months back, when humble was giving out Teleglitch keys for free. Humble explicitly said that those free keys would expire.

Yup, trying to gift a bundle to my nephew. No luck at the moment.

[edit] Worked fine via client, not via web.

Oh man, I bought shadow warrior yesterday cause it was a daily. I've played it for about 5 hours now. Game is insanely good. Love slicing shit up with the katana.
 
Silent Hill Homecoming is the cheapest it's ever been on GMG, it usually is only 50% off when on sale, but it's 75% off right now, plus with the 25% off coupon, you can get it for $7.49. It's not a terrible game, though a weaker one in its series, I do think it's worth that price if interested.

Homecoming: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/adventure/silent-hill-homecoming/

Coupon Code: 25HAPP-YXMASF-ROMGMG

bought this earlier, thought everyone else thought it was a rubbish deal or something since I saw no mention anywhere else of it!! Looking forward to it, and RE6 (also cheapest, with the 25% discount code i think)

But no doubt it will be expanded to paid keys too.
Bundles are killing sales due to resellers and sites/devs are trying to find ways to prevent this.
The actual problem is the race to the price bottom and the "I'll just wait for the bundle" mentality customers now have. G2A or whoever has nothing to do with it and blaming them for time-limited keys is just a convenient excuse so they can tone down all the gifting and sharing of old bundle keys. Publishers would obviously much rather your friend buys game X than receives your unused Humble key for free.
