Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
May I ask about the advantage of ModBot? Seems to have a whole lot of regulations/formattings that I'd need to follow. Why not just use the old fashioned email tag giveaway?
 
I might bite for that Walking Dead 400 Days DLC. Anyone who played the DLC, is it worth it? If you finished it, is it long? Just want to be sure if it's worth $5.
 
Can anyone tell me why my inventory no longer has a Steam section? It's not only TF2 and Portal 2. :-\

Where are my emoticons, coupons, and backrounds? :(

Also, has the Orange Box ever went for less than $10?

Because one person could claim several/all keys in a post previously by being quick. Furthermore a lot of keys went to lurkers who never thanked the posters or attempted to give anything back.

you can add different "tags" to modbot to prevent lurkers/people who dont participate/people who already won stuff from taking the gifts

I understand how ModBot works! Thanks Salsa & ModBot/Stump :D

At least, I think I don't need to do anything now after I've redeemed it.

Believe it was created to weed out lurkers, but it actually has a ton of useful options such as restricting previous winners or even individual users.

Because people want to know who is taking their stuff? I guess?

It was good. took around 90 min or so. Its supposed to tie in with season two so it may be worth picking up just for that.

With the proper instructions, modbot will ignore people that already won once in a certain time frame, lurkers, etc.

Mostly it's to avoid people just grabbing keys and not even saying thanks.

Ok, I went from having no copies of Frozen Synapse to 2 copies from one purchase. Anyone want to trade me something for the second one?

Lurkers cant take email tag giveaways either since they cant quote the post.
 
Are discounts for games consistent throughout a sale? If Bioshock Infinite is 50% off now, will it always be 50% off during reappearances or in flash deals?

IIRC it was 5,00$ before or even 2,50$. I bought it dirt-cheap before.
 
Steam is really getting hammered today more so than in other years. On the one hand this is good because it indicates increased amount of attention. On the other hand it is damn annoying :p

Hey, I just noticed the text in the voting box:
"Plus!
Voting could get you a Summer Getaway Trading Card
Subject to availability. Restrictions apply."

Manufactured shortages, yo?

Can somebody with a Twitter account ask Two Tribes if you need to have redeemed a key from the Humble Bundle to receive the Toki Tori 2 discount coupon? I already owned the games prior to the bundle going live and the coupon is part of the reason why I purchased it.

The best part about this sale is that I'm too broke to afford most of the games!

I AM FREE FROM THE CURSE!

lol i'll probably still end up buying way more games than i can afford
