I still just want Anodyne and The Bards Tale out of that bundle. I guess I'll pass this one.

Or the new Batman
Batman: Oranges isn't out yet, tho. Maybe they'll add them when it's out everywhere =p
Yes. 4 bans on that page alone .
Also on another note . when is the autumn sales starting ?
They may have been testing the waters with the first two batmans to see what happens. I'm hoping they will add them either at release or later.

Anodyne is worth the dollar.
Last year it started the 21st of november, chances are it's either the 18th or the 25th this year.
Halloween sale started the 29th of october last year, the 27th of october the year before, chances are it's the 28th this year.

So. It seems if you purchased the bundle before without BTA, you wont get the bonus-games, right?
Oh well, I'm only interested in Organ Trail and considering its theme, it should most likely go on sale during halloween (and it already has been at 0.99 this summer).
Also, why the hell Anomaly Korea isn't ported to Steam? My phone sucks and I kinda like the first Anomaly (and already got Korea from a past bundle).
Nope, they changed bonus games to BTA only a few bundles back.
The Steam games Library are the necessities. What is that "food" thing you are talking about? Get back to the real world, sir!
I feel you, I'm mostly done with the sales, for now :/
Thanks for mentioning. Bought.
That's why I said "wait for GOTY editions that include all the DLC". I figure that'll happen eventually, after they've run the DLC train into the ground and are ready to move onto the next title.
Yeah, pretty much this. Though now I imagine him billing it as the "GOD-Tier Edition" (Game of Decade). >.>

This might be the wrong place to ask, but are Arkham Asylum CD keys redeemable on Steam yet? A friend of mine is gonna give me his copy so it'd be cool if I can get a Steam copy (of GOTY) out of it.
When you first join Steam, you are acquiring games at a blistering rate. Eventually, you realize that you can wait on certain games to get cheaper, and you have acquired many of the best games of all time sitting in your backlog.
Then game purchases come in at a trickle.
Any chance it was Beep, because the code sent is saying it's invalid.
I keep telling myself I have to pace myself since I know these traditional big sales I always hear about are coming up, but all these shiny new toys are too tempting to resist.The Steam games Library are the necessities.

I'm not to the phase where I regret not waiting and saving a few bucks on games that end up in other sales later on. Will be soon, though. Gone Home is the first time I'm wondering if I should wait and see if it gets down to $5 at some point this year.
The golden rule of steam is:
Are you going to play it immediately? No? Wait for the next big sale.
(This doesn't apply to bundles)
Nothing yet, I have a feeling they are waiting for a response from Microsoft. Apparently they are working on the issue though.

It happens to the best of us in the beginning. Best thing to do is budget $X for games and don't go over that. Things will go on sale again.
...
Or just buy all the games
Seriously, unless it's something you must have now, wait for the big Steam sales. Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself over all the stuff you could've picked up with the money you've spent if you'd only waited. Not that I'd know or anything. >.> <.< >.>
That only works if you're

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
I haven't been able to afford to eat since I had to give up adventuring. I took an arrow in the knee.
I hope the Batman games are Finnish.

Alright, hopefully it gets announced one way or another in the near future. That bit from the forums... Now I remember why I usually don't bother with them.Nothing yet, I have a feeling they are waiting for a response from Microsoft. Apparently they are working on the issue though.

Halloween Sale is coming very soon fellow GAFfer, just wait a little more. There will be Daily Deals, Flash deals and so on. I hope you can manage to get your game for the best price.
Sorry fellow lurkers, this is more of a thank you to the guys that are active in the thread.
If the system notifies you if you are blocked from entering: I used 'Blacklist', I did not block anyone manually. It means someone has you permanently blocked.
edit: haha it took me 10 minutes to write the two lines above, now it's a real flash raffle.

We'll talk again after the winter sale.
Trust me, it's like a fever your first time...
Just let it happen. Don't think of your backlog as work, but rather as a badge of honor.
I only buy Finnish developed games. Some people would call that racism, I would agree.
Then you are done. Only buy games you are very excited about and will play right that moment.
I have a growing love for Anodyne.
It is a very atmosphere game, which is impressive considering the rough hewn pixel art, and the mechanics are solid enough. But the real draw for me is that the more I play it the more I feel like I'm literally wandering through the game designer's subconscious mind. I don't know if it is true or not but the entire game seems to be completely unplanned. It feels like a stream of consciousness exercise focused down into a Zelda clone. Really unique.

There's a lot of people who likes to buy videogame soundtracks like, I bought Dead Space OST a long time ago, and I like it.
I was basing my interpretation of the blacklist using only the ModBot instructions post in the OP. But then I went searching and found a Stump post that further elaborated on it:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=80477717&postcount=15185
I didn't know about that "multiple users" part, and now the whole thing feels better. ModBot remains a nice thing we can have.
Thank you .
I hate saying it, but I played through it on the 360 this morning. I'm not sure what my expectations were going in, but it was incredibly short. I don't know if my Boss being max leveled made it worse, or if I'm just wrong on how much content a sub-$10 DLC should be packing.
Thank you sir :3 I've been wanting to play this thing since I found out it existed.
Firsties!
Dat Jase hall of shame tho
One of these days my post count will catch up to my game count.
I pre-ordered Skyrim way back when and had no issues. I was going to mention that one can pick up a Prey key on the cheap from the very seem store, but it seems stock was finite.

Impulsive purchasing habits vindicated.
Sorry I'm late to this, but Spotflux for the US and FlyVPN's free service for everywhere else (I most recently used the latter to activate my Football Manager 2012 Russian key).
Squeenix went up a notch in my book.
Bah, the ME isn't discounted.
Perma-bans resulting in avatars disappearing is just an urban legend.
Edit: Oh, and nice OP! I knew I forgot to add something.

Buy Gone Home, looks neat. Check my Steam.. ugh SYABH is on sale too. Gonna have to wait until more people are playing it.
I felt a little weird for using the blacklist, it sounded like it may be easy to abuse by someone vindictive. Thank you for posting the clarification.
I don't know most of the posters here very well, so the idea of "community policing" seemed handy.
It was discounted in the GMG Guardians of Middle Earth sale I posted... yesterday? day before? Of course, that still made it like 40Bah, the ME isn't discounted.
Scroll up like... 5 posts for a quote of the probable dates for the Halloween and Thanksgiving sales. (Actually, Thanksgiving might be the 20th instead of the 2 dates I listed...) Both sales usually last a week.
The winter sale will probably start the 20th and last 2 weeks.
