If I were the type of person that posted gifs to illustrate how I felt I about something I saw in a forum thread this is where I'd post one of someone running around in a very excited fashion.

The 100 dollar fee doesn't sit that well for me. At this moment the most popular stuff, some of them decently well known (at least as far as indie go) are barely making it past the 20 percent range. And this is at the height of Greenlight being used. It's only going to slow down. I can see people being discouraged to submit when even the most popular stuff is sitting so low, much like how many people have boycotted the IGF the last couple years. Hopefully they either find a better permanent solution or tweak the numbers massively.

They tend to throw up a random number though. I believe the Botanicula bundle was 6 or 7 in the registry before it launched, and Humble 5 (the real one) was 8.

They've said that 100% isn't needed to actually get a game listed. They're going to watch the numbers, see how things go, and tweak them. Even then 100% isn't going to be the deciding factor. They're going to look at how popular the games are, how much people are discussing them, how quickly they get support, etc. The percentage is more of a benchmark really, and very misleading.

Don't crush my dreams!

If you look at the registry it actually has a lot of HIB updates, most likely fixing all the old titles to be more accurate. So if they fixed them, it wouldn't make much sense to screw up already again.

Dont quite understand what you all mean by all of this? Does this mean the bundle should appear within the next few days or not? Either way, I am quite happy with the last humble bundle for android 3 as that is the only one I have had the joy of taking part in. But still, that bundle was great and has hundreds of hours of gameplay in it. If this next bundle is anything like that then I am really looking forward to all future Humble Bundles.

If the Android bundle is all you know then, son, you ain't seen nothing yet~

Damnit, just after I was happy to see you posting again Motoki! You add a lot to this forum, and help bring interesting perspective to what we would otherwise regard as bundle/sale chaff. Most place on the interwebs I just lurk, too many forums have more nastiness than I would care to expose myself to/get involved in, but lurking here for months, CAG revealed itself to be a great litte community. I think a lot of other CAGs in the last few pages expressed this and appreciation for you as a part of this community better than I.

Despite side-channel discussions I feel directly responsible for indirectly igniting events two weeks back. Please don't leave! Else I will have to take full responsibility. :seppuku: (why isn't there an animated smiley for this?)

Working downloadable demo or GTFO! (Seriously this makes a lot of sense.)

There used be one north of Belmont on Clark across the street from a mongolian BBQ. There is a good chance there is at least one in Chinatown (Red Line-Cermak) there is a good size two-level strip mall on Cermak there with a buncha places to eat as well as a bunch of places on S Wentworth. Area is safe. Stay West of State St.

Beijing used to have a bunch. I hear that government officials prepping for the '08 Olympics forced it off the menu in a lot of places. "Fragrant meat"

Somehow I don't think even the Chicago DPH would let them get away with that. But if it shows up at the next Taste, I'm in for 2.

edit: Was going to bring this up earlier but to try to veer back on-topic:

Originally Posted by randomdud Borderlands 1 had partial drop in/out. Public games allowed this as long as the host did not leave.

Honestly, never had an issue with that aspect of the game as my friends would play for long stretches of time and set up time was negligible in comparison. BL1 had issues, but very little were with core gameplay mechanics; mostly pretty bad UI design, inconsistent pacing problems, or physics engine issues with specific locations/vehicle control.

I should have been clearer about the DI/DO stuff, but I meant it was hard to progress in the story if your friends weren't doing it at the same pace as you (missions greyed out and such) and the auto-level-scaling of enemies in a mixed-leveled group was a bit frustrating as well. But I agree with those other issues; thanks for mentioning them.

That was my point exactly, but thanks anyway for restating it.

What this means is that, though it is in the system currently as "HIB 6," it may not be the sixth numbered bundle but another sub-bundle like when they do one for a single developer or the Android rehashes. Probably the former rather than the latter since they just did an Android one.

Whatever it is, it should appear very soon.

Yeah, all of the older humble bundles are now listed correctly if you check the your licenses/subscriptions.

Hahaha, while I definitely appreciate you comment, I have read about past bundles and have already taken part in the steam 2012 summer sale as well as the amazon 2012 summer sale. This last HIBfA3 (especially since it happened a few days after I got my first android) was absolutely amazing for me. While I have not gotten all the games in the past HIBs, I can safely say that I have gotten most of the games I want from them even if I have paid a few more dollars for them. This last bundle was just the icing on the cake as I paid a buck for a bunch of awesome games I did not have on either android or the PC. This combined with the recent indie gala and groupees bundles, I am a new PC gamer that is quite happy. My 360, wii, n64, and original xbox will never be sold, and these cheap PC games along with the power of my new PC can and will never be replaced.

Ahh, thank you very much for explaining. I guess its just like when steam added games to their registry yet we still were not 100% sure of their sales. HIB is just more secretive by not even letting us know what games they will be offering. Either way it is great that we all know another bundle is coming soon.

EDIT: sorry about double post. noticed other post after I posted my first one.

I played Borderlands solo (140 hours according to steam -- though that overcounts a bit due to extended afk pauses) and regularly found myself overleveled. I found it WillowTree quite useful to knock down my level (and reset the occasional lets-do-that-again quest).

Give it half an hour. If nobody has obliged by the time I get to work I'll dig out one of a fox (Not CheapLikeA) on a trampoline.

Who knows, it might just be me. An ex exploited my trusting nature as a fox in love and released many compromising pictures of me, including one on a trampoline.

Looks like Spirits is on Steam now. Does that mean whoever beat the average on the Humble Android Bundle 3 got a Steam key for it?
