yeah but there are also new keys for new games in my library
But it's displaying keys for BTA games, even if you didn't buy. Got few freebies and can confirm keys are working (for now).

Is there anyone around SL70 who'd like to be my decoy for fighting Manus and Kalameet? 
There's probably quite a lot more.I remember when there were always big batches

A preorder page for Groupees' Build a Greenlight Bundle 16 went up, if anyone's still interested in those.
Maybe a few here and there, but it's nothing like it used to be.
It doesn't feel the same anymore, and seems to happen randomly.

Sorry, I don't have the game installed anymore
But they are easy, the bonfire is really close and their attack patterns are pretty obvious. You can beat them alone (I did it and I'm not that good).
For Manus, just wait when you can safely attack his hand. Don't be greedy, and wait. And you can summon Sif if you are human. (even if he is useless)

Yea, I saw the blood alloy guys. /infomercial "THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY"
Damn, getting Daisy's par times in Marvellous Miss Take is bloody hard since she has no distraction gadgets.
Also, I'm at like 14 hours of game play, which is not bad, not bad at all.
I already love the game to bits, but if you want bang for your buck and are on the fence about it, just... get it.
Also, the BTA stuff in the lowest tier is groupees-wide at the moment, not that the community bundle is all that interesting.
Unhack has also been greenlit

I had Manus below 10% on a good run -- but it doesn't help that he's super aggressive and 1 hit from him almost kills him. Add in some bullshit hitboxes and we're talking a major annoyance.
Kalameet? I only tried him once... I want to hack off his tail too, so that's not a good thing either. I do have the Oolicile Township bonfire kindled to give 20 estus, so that's great if I can survive a hit and find an opening to heal.

Nice, just realized that buying the Temple of Osiris + South Park pack from Uplay gave me the Lara Croft pre-order items for TF2. They have to be worth something I guess.

Need to ask two stupid Steam questions (I did just go through the FAQ recently posted first, lol):
1) Why is it that when I start up a game, the little notification says 'hit Shift-tab to close' but when I hit Shift-tab, it pulls up a large steam menu interface over my game (and closes the notification)? Is there anyway to just boot into the game w/o any of that?
2) I see a lot of sites (like steamdb) can access your wishlist. Are there any sites out there that will take your wishlist and do anything fancy with it (ie, show steamdb like details, or multi-site price compares, etc)?

Same here, goodbye 2.5k gems :-(
I didn't really consider bundles though, rather the fact that it was region locked and almost nothing else in the auction was, so I wasn't going to be able to get it from a Russian trader.
If you ignore it, it goes away after like 2 seconds

They aren't marketable yet. That will probably change soon enough though.

Holy cow, the final road in the Road Redemption campaign is a *fantastic* surprise. Didn't see that coming.

As far as quality goes I personally think the greenlight bundles are some of the best ones Groupees does. But you can be waiting a long time for the games to be greenlit and released on Steam.
SteamGAF a quick question
re the recent changes in region locking/gifting policies: if someone is in a region not officially supported by steam, but he somehow sends someone in US the money so that he would receive the items he would have wanted to buy in return (as gifts)... would it work or not?

One of them does, but not the key notification for Dungeon of the Endless. It stays there, and actually covers up the 'start' button once you select your team. It does not go away until I hit shift-tab, at which point that pulls up the other interface. It's annoying as hell, because I only have the time to play in short bursts, so deal with it regularly.
I have already told Steam to stop giving me the popup (center screen) about the key. This is in the lower right.
Basically, I get two notifications - one is telling me that shift-tab 'begins' steam community. The other tells me to hit shift-tab to close the key notification. Hitting shift-tab does both - closes the key notification, but starts the community hub thing.
Yeah, I had a Ubiquity function that would shortcut to the HL2B page for a game using that URL, and it stopped working a while back. Wish HL2B had a way to search without having to go to the website first and then type in the name each time. :/ 1 step is better than 2! :lol
Oh. Well, it only shows those for games with their own cd keys for GFWL/Origin/Uplay/whatever.
The "don't show" is per game, but it *should* disappear after you click it. It does here, anyway.
Then I can just shift-tab back out of community.
Afterlife: Lost Paradise also got greenlit.
As did Effing dead.

Hi guys, I have a question about big picture mode.
I have a PC that is normally hooked up to two monitors (using a gtx770).
From time to time I like to connect to the TV sitting next to my desk and run big picture mode on it.
Is there a way to have big picture mode running on the tv while it is a secondary monitor - and play games on the tv while it is a secondary monitor.
I seem to be able to only play games on the TV when it is set as primary monitor.

if this could get an answer, that would be great
I have the exact opposite problem. All my community pages are in English despite being in Japan.

Oh Ubisoft, you're the best. Such generosity. Much appreciated.
They gave you a dotted line?
That's so sweet.
Speaking of UBisoft:
Uplay has South Park 66% off, Darksiders Complete 85% off, Thief 75% off.
I love how South Park's thumbnail is in fucking German for me.

Dang, I'm already on my way to 1000. I don't want to catch the collecting bug. D:
Oh yeah, that's releasing today isn't it?
EDIT: Releasing at $10 at 6PM PST so less than two hours from now.

Do the Groupees bundles tend to have games of value in them? Is it worth me to give that Greenlight one a shot or will I end up with a choice of games I don't want at all?
They're better than Indie Royale Debut bundles in my experience. And like $0.15 per game anyway.
e: Not that you can expect anything super amazing to need help to get greenlit. Usually there's a couple of decent looking games per bundle though and they can pay themselves back with cards quite easily.

any hints yet as to what it'll contain?
No shit, I played Fire Emblem: Awakening for 145 hours this year, I had to play a huge number of indies and gameboy stuff to make up for that and meet the 52 games quota.
Except you didn't "have to" do anything

Considering they used to port games to every existing platform, this is very tame.
