Same here, but gave 25% to OOTP guys.
Chubby, I hope you get rich (again) due to this bundle (and maybe whip up some new recipe DLC for all of us).
And the plaid guy on the CSD cover looks like a certain finale that most of us pretend didn't happen at all.
Mines been the same for a month now. Is it a bug that it's not sticking? If I redeem a bunch of keys within say 30 mins it never asks me more than the first time but if I go back a day later it brings up the old "Unrecognised Browser" dialog box despite still having a cookie from them.
I just feel obligated to thank the person for their gift regardless of price/quality of the game - disturbing was probably the wrong word to use.

I love getting thank yous, even for "bundle junk." Am I weird?
Yeah I always get asked for it no matter what.

This is so scummy, it looked like a terrible kickstarter to begin with. At least they're trying to make up for their losses though, they could have been even worse than they were.
Some of those have to be troll comments. Not all of them can be real, that's impossible.
Welcome back.
nooo my secret shame
This post reminded me of the only kickstarter I ever backed, LA Game Space. Of the 33 games that were promised in the Indie Game Pak, 23 were eventually released, but 19 months later, none of the marquis games that were advertised from the famous creators (QWOP, Hotline Miami, Unfinished Swan) are among that number. Also in the Indie Classics Bundle, Basement Collection is still listed as "Coming Soon" despite being a game that already exists, I'd like to actually try it out one day. We did get Keita's game though so that's cool.
Also the center itself seems nowhere near ready and I think they had to have some sort of DJ benefit recently for more funding but I wasn't honestly expecting that to ever materialize, I just wanted some weirdo games from the folks they advertised. Communication has been among the worst of any Kickstarter I've seen, the last update was at the beginning of January and checking out the comments reveals that lots of people were unhappy with physical rewards. Just seems like these guys are in way over their heads, but I got some neat games for $15 at least so I'm not too miffed or anything.

Reposting for a new page...
I probably won't be around to repost it again shortly, so... good luck and whomever wins, make sure you do the 60fps fix.
Have fun. Just stay away from my waifu:

I think you are off on your description on Defense Grid 2. The kickstarter was only funded to the point of delivering an expansion pack for the original defense grid, Containment. Which they did delver. However after all was said and done, someone came in and fully funded Defense Grid 2 and they decided to give the backers access to the game even though the kickstarter didn't reach funding goals.
Dead State should be higher risk of failure. They just came out that they have put out the last early access update and now they will begin working on the rest of the game. My gut feeling is they are going to disappear and never be heard from again.
Two Guys SpaceVenture - Unless they get outside help, I don't see this game getting finished.
Two for a buck in most places, like 80 cents if you buy just one. I go to McD's for iced coffee everyday.

In terms of measuring Kickstarter "success", this seems rather artificial and more geared toward looking for failure just for the sake of proving something negative about Kickstarter.
Personally, I have typically only backed projects where they had something substantial to show or something else to offer me (e.g., the Double Fine Adventure documentary). I think a perfectly valid use of Kickstarter is to develop a game to a point on your own and then get some crowd funding to push it through to the end.
A nice "big dev" example of this was how Firaxis developed Civ 4. It was a small team for a few years, working out the gameplay and systems. Then, when they were happy with it, they brought in people to do art, music, etc. at the end.

I knew there was something like that.
I'm not doubting you but I very specifically didn't want to get into anything that felt like actually judging the people's ability to deliver, rather than the progress of updates and the stage that the game is at. Dead State is playable (although obviously I've heard bad things) and updated less than a month ago. For now I think it's pretty likely that something will come out. If they update 6 months later to say "development is hard" or "we've run out of money", we'll raise it.

Beat Ride to Hell.
Nothing to say really. It was a game. Best part is that for the QTEs you don't instantly fail them if you press the wrong button. So I'd just mash all four face-buttons at once every time a QTE popped up.
Also grabbed all the achievements in Abyss Odyssey. I figure since the dev is pretty active they'll post some new ones before long but whatevs, I'm under 100 gigs of space and I gotta start making room.

Interesting list of Kickstarter games Stumpokapow. Have you done one of these for Early Access games?
I think the EA bundle(s) is the only one I've put 100% charity, otherwise it's split 50/50 between the developer and charity. Humble get a lot of love so I figure my small contribution is more effective that way.
Fair enough, not a criticism of anyone on how the decide, just after a few posts mentioning the same thing I got curious.
Yesterday I won a copy of Gun Monkeys from taco543. Not only did I receive the key via ModBot, but when I redeemed it in Steam I received another gift copy of the game!

from what i played of dead state there is little doubt in my mind they'll do their best to finish the damn thing
they update sort of frequently on their forums and the game is pretty feature-complete, even tho in clearly a very rough alpha state
but this is fucking mitsoda, you can't doubt mitsoda
it wasn't my fault i was born this dumb

Winning KiD would make my fucking week, having spent a good deal of cash on the PS3 LE last year and being completely broke right now it's hard to justify a double dip until it hits a sub 10 euro price.
Love the game, it's so awesome.
