Oh hell I'm curious, and also if there are some shady users around I'd like to know about them.

I'm posting a lot less in the thread nowadays, I think I know what you mean if it makes you feel better.if you dont see it, why are you worried? if you dont think anything bad is going on, go about your business
Yeah, I hope I get some cooler melee weapon so I can stab him in the nuts.
I'm talking about this fucker right here:
This guy sneaks up to your back and beat you until your unconcious while taunting you.
No keys
I hate my life
Humble have a mixed system at present. If you by a bundle you can redeem them on the Steam account linked to your Humble account or generate a gift link to give to someone else. If you by from the store you have a choice at checkout to purchase for yourself or generate a gift link (don't worry I've cocked this up in the past as well). And just to put the cat amongst the pigeons some of the items using the Humble Widget still give you Steam keys (my copy of Shovel Knight I bought on the Yacht Club Games home page gave me a key not a link). Never bloody easy is it.
well one is an amazing game. the other was aparently made my Nito's mom or something, and we have no clue if its actually good until its out
That's rude.
Found this when going through old humble bundles. Hopefully it doesn't qualify as garbage

Fuck the humble store, I want my steam keys to do with whatever the fuck i please.
Does that imply that ModBot was a princess all along and was kidnapped as a baby by stump and then imprisoned by a tower and stump's motherly love?Happy Birthday Modbot!
i guess i'll see if i win one of the giveaways.. otherwise it's a hard decisionwell one is an amazing game. the other was aparently made my Nito's mom or something, and we have no clue if its actually good until its out

I got mine for $6.
Very small price to pay considering what I got out of it.
Eye of Sauron and all that... right, Rhaknar?
You've done what I couldn't manage during the Steam sale. Anyone who gives away KiD is alright in my book. You should add me if we aren't friends on Steam.
thanks for the many memories, SteamGAF
I don't post as much anymore... but thanks for being my first real community
and here's to celebrate Modbot's first birthday! and our 25th thread!
Nice one, sir.
Happy Birthday Modbot!
You crazy bastard. <3
Why must you always give away things I own?
Happy birthday Modbot, here's a game I don't own myself but grabbed during the sale. Hopefully someone who missed this classic will enjoy it
Nice!!!!
No keys
I hate my life
Sorry man... I could have told you to just click the gift link first, as I just bought Jazzpunk and The Floor is Jelly from Humble yesterday and it moved from keys (which is what Shovel Knight gave me) to the button for redemption.
Bad Koala. I think you should give Anteater a couple extra modbot entries to your giveaway.

Abyss Odyssey has a good sale right now, and a soundtrack bundled if you care about that.
Shovel Knight, while very good, isn't on sale. It's also not dependent on the moment. Contrary to the haters, I think it will be good for some time coming. It's not just riding a hype wave. You could wait for a couple of gold off before buying it.
Or not. I bought it full price and it got me through a tough weekend recently, for which I'm thankful. No regrets.

The weekend's seen a lot of the Steam sale regulars drop off momentarily. Just looking at the
I also feel like we still talk about games, but the off topic stuff has increased because of the new comers. And the new comers talk about games too, it's just that the off topic stuff is more noticeable because, well, it stands out more in a thread where the evolving idea was to discuss games, sales, and bundles. The off topic posts really add to the sense of community the thread has, though honestly it can become a bit much, even if I participate in some of it, like the alpacalypse.
And yes, the drink is yerba

Sam Fisher must make good bank beating up on Heisters. Has to be easier work than terrorist hunting.
your mom is crazy talented :O
I'm sorry but what kind of shady shit went on in this thread?
Also, I seldom speak my mind about all these derailings, but at cost of appearing as an old grumpy buzzkiller:
I'm usually a great supporter of off topic, sheer mayhem, flaming, trolling and whatnot. And by "usually" and "great" I mean in almost twenty years of internet I've piled up my fair share of temp and perma bans from several (Italian) forums.
So I love waifus, alpacas and saoirses, and I love comparing our games counts, connection speeds and mostly our dicks lengths.
And this thread has been fine with off topic, at least since my arrival (just in time for last year summer sale) to a month ago or so. Borderline manageable, but still, fine.
Now it is not fine anymore. But not because of the off topic, no. This thread has always been a community-like one, and it was/is its greatest perk imho.
This thread has crossed the line because now we are like 5000 regulars.
5000 regulars posting alpacas and waifus and that one drink I always forget its name.yerba?
Now, this is clearly not the opinion of a bunch of users here. I remember someone before the sale telling like "this thread will be unmanageable, see you after the sale". Now I don't even know if those people ever came back. I honestly don't know who really posts here anymore except the dozen or so literal megagivers and Monk because he's always been above anyone else.
Chatting with someone here it came up that there are very few ways to safeguard this thread.
One would be opening a sort of mirror Steam OT in Community.
Another would be moving all the chat-like posting over to the actual SteamGAF chat on Steam!
I don't know.
I've never had anything to do with a forum this big so fuck, I cannot be confident enough in talking about solutions, but still.
Also I'm not a mod here, so I guess just do whatever you please.
I'm new here myself and honestly I'm sorry if people think I crap up the thread or anything or cause other posters that are regulars not to post here. I just started posting because it was a general Steam thread and thought I could just talk about all steam games here, and I know I post alot but I can chill out if it makes people less afraid of getting taken to OT. Posting here reiginited a love for PC games and being here has allowed me to find people to play Payday 2 and CS:GO with, when almost all of my experiences on PC games have usually just been with myself or randoms. I really love the community that I've come to meet here, but you aren't the first person to mention this and I feel bad if I really have been hurting the Steam OT in anyway.

You have an awesome mom.
its a hard work though, everyday frequent update ;_;
Detail View feels so naked without icons enabled. They really ought to be enabled by default.
Edit: Your list reminds me that I still don't have DeathSpank: Throngs of Virtue. I was going to buy it during the Summer Sale but chiefly focused on cheaper games instead as I wanted to hit 3k.

I have already entered 3 giveways just now. I'll leave the thread now.
I'm a bit sour on their direction they have made over the past 2 years to be fair, especially from where the idea came from and their Humble (heh) beginnings. I guess that investment money went a changed their ethos. Considering they are letting big name publishers like Ubisoft, Warners, Square Enix et all mix it up with self published little guys you can see they have moved on from giving exposure to overlooked indie games on Steam.
Still at the end of the day the do still support a couple of charities I'd gladly give my money to and they do give pubs/devs a bigger cut than Valve do. Though the default cuts on the store being fixed and EA's Origin bundle not supporting EFF gets/got my goat a little.
I'll just leave it, I have a friend who's interested to play it anyway and I shared my account with him, I just don't know how to explain buying the game I wasn't going to play, lol

The weekend's seen a lot of the Steam sale regulars drop off momentarily. Just looking at thecurrentlast page, more than half of the posters were regulars before I start posting in the threads a few months back. I feel like the further we get from the sale, more will drop of before returning for the other sales, and more of the older regulars that haven't posted as much will start to post more often. I'm hoping that it balances out over time, since both the old and the new regulars offer a lot of diversity that I'd honestly miss if they just completely left the threads and didn't come back.
I also feel like we still talk about games, but the off topic stuff has increased because of the new comers. And the new comers talk about games too, it's just that the off topic stuff is more noticeable because, well, it stands out more in a thread where the evolving idea was to discuss games, sales, and bundles. The off topic posts really add to the sense of community the thread has, though honestly it can become a bit much, even if I participate in some of it, like the alpacalypse.
And yes, the drink is yerba
I also expect things to die down a bit with some more time, my biggest problem now is just keeping up with the sheer volume of posts and trying to find the stuff I'm most interested in (the game impressions, deal/bundle alerts, and a smidgen of small talk). I don't mind a bit of off-topic, there's just an awful lot of it right now.
