There are quite a few free games (mostly Free to Play) and mods available via the Steam platform, a comprehensive list of which can be found in this thread on the SPUF.

I read a number of Sang Froid reviews... I'm waiting for a bundle on it... I was kinda hoping it would be similar to The Horde.
Everytime I see the 3DO console, 2 games immediately comes to my mind. :)

And 3 given away free. Penny arcade themselves said you can pay nothing at all for the first tier of penny arcade Humble Bundle, Not penny the thing actually pay nothing. Obviously they don't care about making money off these games so it's only a matter of time before they just pass out free copies of 4 on the site like they did with the 3rd game.
They did the giveaway for PA 3 to promote the launching of PA 4, I doubt they will give away their current game that easily unless something crops up.

I can list a card on the market for $10 if you'd like.
Actually that gives me an idea of how to trade steam wallet balance. If Ys doesn't win I could work something out with someone who has an extra steam gift.

 
[quote name="hal" post="11402591" timestamp="1388485276"]Stealth Bastard is a great puzzle/platformer (platforming mainly just serves the puzzle solving). It's got style, it controls well, and the puzzles can be very clever.If you like the genre, then this should be on your list to play.[/quote]
How's the DLC? I saw a guy on YouTube saying it wasn't too good because of the teleporters
 

I'm trying to figure out if I want this.. it's like paying $1 for BL2 skins. I didn't care for Poker Night 1, so I doubt I'd care for the sequel.


If you didn't like the first, then there's no reason you'll like the second. It's just more of the same. I do like my Siren head that I won, but it wouldn't be worth suffering through a game I didn't like.

Super Street Fighter 2 is but one of several reasons I keep my 3DO hooked up to the TV.

I bought the game and DLC simultaneously, so I didn't even realize the Teleporter stuff wasn't part of the base game. I actually rather enjoyed that part and the puzzles were excellent.

So, it seems Ys Origin won't be on sale during this sale. Ys I & II is so old school (and seems to be the most difficult), I don't know if I'll like it.
 
Vote for Ys, maybe all games will get a discount.

Whoever votes for Precipice 4 is wasting a vote since it's in the Humble Weekly. :(

You would have to pay $6 to get Precipice 4 from the Humble Weekly. The better argument against voting for it is the fact that it was already a flash sale. But then again Ys was already on sale too.

I would like to purchase Ys this time around but if Precipice 4 wins I might buy it since it did miss the flash sale.

Oh well, we all know Wanderlust will probably win because nobody wants that.

This. Ain't no one paying $6 for that HB weekly.

I got Rune Classic! Thanks!

 
Age of Empires worth snagging? I'm looking at grabbing the complete collection for $13.74. Haven't played a strategy game in a long time and I already have Civ IV and V on the backlog to get through. Is it worth picking up now or should I just hold off?
yes worth it tho it up to u but me i brough aoe3 summer of 2012

 
As far as the whole thing about it being free on the site they said "If what you Want to Pay isn’t anything, that’s utterly legit". http://www.penny-arcade.com/2013/12/29 I figure they meant what they said. If so they really don't care about making money on the thing so it's only inevitable they just throw out 4 for free. Do what you want. I guess I'm coming off a bit strong and I'm sorry. I just see a logical conclusion based off of Penny Arcade's own words.
If the Penny Arcade Dudebros were the only ones with vested interest in the sales, this would be a consideration, but they're not the ones who poured hundreds of hours into coding the game. The dev team might feel differently.

Except they were paid for their work no? Or did they just license the IP and do whatever they want?

 
Actually travathian, I don't really know. The way PA discussed the change of developers way back when, it sounded like Zeboyd would be calling the shots, but with PA themselves acting as publisher, it's possible they were just paid a flat amount and over and done with.

You also selectively quoted leaving off a key portion
Sunasun had already addressed that. Articulate it as you will, regarding only what elessar123* stated, the two of you were in agreement the whole time. *pomegranate shrug*

Needs more :grouphug:

*and not Harvey Dent

Ugh, I really hate Uplay.  I exited Fary Cry: BD, but left the Uplay Launcher up overnight.  However, somehow Steam thinks that because I had the Launcher up, I was still playing Far Cry: BD.  So now my playtime's all out of whack, which probably shouldn't bother me, but it does.

 
Whats the best way to make sure only you awesome cagers get left over steam keys i have? Post the games and ask for pms for the codes?
Just do "first long time cag member to quote this post for this game" gets the key... or do some kind of fun game like first one to guess the riddle. I much rather enjoy being the first to quote gets the key because well, I suck at riddles. :)

yup this happened to me.... I have like 10 hours logged on Far Cry: BD and I haven't even advanced much further than right after the tutorial section.... yikes I read all the Uplay hate but now I get it.... I had to go to Task Manager to get Uplay to stop running.

Deadly Premonition.... is the game still bugged to shit even on the PC? I never played the console version either.

I never get enough responses to justify asking for PMs. Took me two weeks to give away all of my Hacker Evolution Duality codes, and that is one of the greatest games in the history of everything.

That sounds like Steam's fault.

Steam counted me as playing Nether while the game was installing/decompressing/blah blah blah. I had an hour of playtime before I even started the game.

 
Even for $1 I hesitate on Poker Night 2, I just know it would rub me the wrong way every time Fake Ash spoke a line of dialogue.
The jokes start to repeat fairly quickly, but I don't think there's anyway you don't get $1's enjoyment out of Poker Night 2. It has some good lines in there. I thought Fake Ash did an OK Real Ash.

Lies, all lies. Steam is perfect in every way! Stop trying to get me over my apparently misguided hatred of Uplay.

 
I'm not sure what to expect from these last couple of sale days, but here's what I'd like to see. The following on my wishlist either have anemic or no sales:

LEGO Indiana Jones

Hunted: The Demon's Forge

Toejam & Earl, T&E Panick on Funkotron 

Patterns

Craft the World

Blockland

Steamworld Dig

Pool Nation

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+

Skulls of the Shogun

 
From what I've heard, yes. At least this is moddable/fixable though as opposed to the 360 and PS3 versions.
yeah from what I'm seeing that's what people are saying on the community forum... I might give it a shot I've heard nothing but good things about it despite all it's flaws

I voted for Pool Nation on the community vote but it lost out to I think Snow or World of Goo I forget... so there's still hope it can end up in a flash sale.
