Planet Stronghold is pretty fun so far. You fight roboants and your roommate is Hitler. Sure, everyone calls him 'Phillip,' but that mustache don't lie.

Crytek and Epic said the same thing about Crysis 2 and Gears of War 2 respectively. :p

The Crysis 2 story is so weird, the ending is really bad(gets even worse when you see the ending of Crysis 3)

I think it goes something like this(Spoilers for Crysis 2 and 3's ending)
*Explanation of why the story of Crysis is terrible*

The writing In Crysis 2 is so awful. Never played Gears 2, but I assume Cole Train had the worst best writing of all time

Valve has apparently emptied the Steam Master sub of all third-party content, which follows a recent change to how employee and press accounts function -- rather than new store items automatically being added the Steam Master and, in most cases, the Press Master sub, instead employees and privileged members of the media can "buy" them at no cost.

Jeep Barnett's profile is my go-to Valve employee account and his All Games tab is now showing only 285 items.

So what's all this talk about a new Humble Bundle today? Did they announce it themselves or did it get leaked anywhere?

There's talk of a new humble bundle? I must have missed it.

Yeah, some people are claiming that they are going to run two concurrent main bundles from now on.

Quoting Knurek from a previous page:

New Humble today? One of the article about Comic one currently tanking mentioned they plan to have two bundles running at the same time, one gaming related, one ebook/music/comedy one.

He means add the game to your Desura collection and then retrieve the Steam key from there.

Ah thanks! I didn't know that was a thing.

edit:

Critical error: We apologize, but we appear to have run out of game keys for this game. The developers have already been notified and we are working to get more game keys ASAP. Thank you for your patience.

ugh

When the comics bundle was announced, they announced there would be other bundles for books/comics/music running concurrently after this one ended on the 13th, so yeah.
I'm not expecting anything.

There was an article on Polygon, I think, announcing the comics bundle and with a comment from Humble staff. There was no mention of them changing the bundle day, though, so it's still thursday as far as I'm concerned.

I don't expect anything today but Tuesday is the day for the main bundles (=the comic one), Thursday for weeklies.

Yeah, can confirm that they removed everything except Valve games from the Steam master sub:

But they still have all the games in the Press Sub:

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I actually kind of like this - although my dreams of someday having every game thanks to Sub 61 are kinda dashed. Here's hoping that there will be a way for me to "buy" Top Gun when I work at Valve.

Also, Jeep is a really cool guy.

Yeah, the registry is where I noticed the change. I used Barnett's profile as confirmation since I thought Valve may have added the games to employee accounts manually, but apparently not. I'm guessing the Press Master sub is safe, at least for now, since emptying it would see reviewers lose access to quite a lot of pulled content.

200MB update for KRZ and now I'm hyperventilating.

My hopes for Wheelman now firmly rest on it resurfacing as part of the WB Vault initiative. Come on, Batman! Make it happen!

Oh thanks, I thought the comics one was the weekly one because I have early onset alzheimers. Well, then, I guess we'll see in a couple of hours.

If it's one eBook bundle and one audiobook bundle, I'm going to flip all the tables.
