Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
Okay, wasted 14gigs of bandwidth it seems. Can't get EoLC to run on Windows 8 at all but can get normal GTA4 to run.

Fucking Rockstar and their piece of shit. Shouldn't have listened to Stallion. :/

Seriously? But... but why WB... why? I really hate when they replace the vanilla version with the GOTY ones!!

Seriously. :( The frustrating thing is that if there were no key redemption issues then it would have been too late to make any changes to the subs since at that point you'd be stealing games, but the mess gave enough time for WB to change its mind.

Thanks for F.E.A.R. 3 Jase! It's the only one I don't own so much appreciated.
Thanks Jace for Scribblenauts!

I really appreciate it!
Thanks for Batman, JaseC

No worries. :)

How do you get the keys? I just get links to send.

Just use the gift links as "keys".

Hey, I just noticed: The new gifting system for HumbleBndle purchases is retroactively applied to the Team17 pack.

So if you lost some games when buying that (because you already had them when you clicked redeem), they should be available for gifting.

That was a nice surprise.

Here's a weird theoretical question:

If a free to play game get's pulled from Steam, and you don't have it installed but have purchased DLC, you still wouldn't be able to redownload would you?
 
Yeah, they give you a better version for free, they should burn in hell.

I already own the GOTY version, but I wanted the vanilla version for my collection :)

Man that makes me sad, because I thought that there was a small opportunity to add BAA vanilla to my collection, well I think I need to deal with it, at least I have the GOTY version...

Steam Metro skin isn't bad right? At a glance it looks like a terrible PSN Store lookalike and that look was godawful
 
So after I finally got it to stop running in 50hz, Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands is quite good. It took some time getting used to the different feel in the platforming compared to the other Sands of Time games, but I'm liking being back in the
One True
Prince's shoes again. Yuri Lowenthal not doing the the weird VO he did in Two Thrones is a plus as well. Combat is still kinda wonky so far. It being dodge only seems odd when the counter mechanic was so good in past titles.

I just got rewind so we'll see how I like it going forward.

Woops. I already own Worms Revolution. When the fuck did I buy Worms Revolution?

Thanks JaseC, but go ahead and nuke that. Sorry about that!

If I bought, let's say some pinball tables for the Pinball Arcade, would that attach the game to my account (meaning it would stay in my game list)?
I'm not sure how Pinball Arcade works. They use an in-game store that accepts Steam wallet apparently, but if those purchases end up under the DLC tab within its Steam properties it should be okay.

Thanks for Asylum, it's the only game in the Bundle that I cared for and didn't already have.

edit: How do you redeem these humble bundle keys now? I thought it's "https://www.humblebundle.com/?s=<keygoeshere>" but I just get a blank notepad-looking page after entering in the code and link.
edit2: Nevermind it's "https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key="

After the Nvidia driver update last week, I've been having kind of a weird minor issue with Dark Souls. I'm running the most recent DSFix, and when I run in windowed mode I get a flash on my screen periodically. When I get the flash, the game loses input for that instant, which is really only noticeable when I try to parry or when I'm running (it makes me jump if it happens when I'm running).

It doesn't happen in full screen mode either, only windowed. Running Windows 8.1 Pro. GTX 670 FTW is my card. Didn't have the issue before the update.

Again, not a huge issue, just curious if anyone else is experiencing it.

thx for Armageddon
Thank you JaseC<3.
Thanks JaseC :)
Thanks for Alien Breed.

No worries. :)

Thanks JaseC, but go ahead and nuke that. Sorry about that!

Worms Revolution and the DLC, apparently! Does nuking work with URLs? I sent a nuke request and waited a minute, but my attempt to re-register the key with ModBot failed.

Skins don't change the appearance of the store, just the window treatment. If you already bare with the default skin, it's a step up.

Am I the only one that prefers default Steam? Air and Metro are meh. The only skin I've found that rivals default is PixelVision.

Regular ol' default Steam suits all my functional needs, I never cared about trying anything else because I don't need an extra step of installing updated skins every time Steam fiddles with something in the UI.

I prefer the Metro skin but I had to disable it because I'm using the Steam beta client and the skin isn't updated to handle the changes made to the new Steam download menu.
