    I wasn't planning on buying anything today, but everyone is making psychonauts sound really cool.

    also, looks like shitty people have been abusing the humble bundle to get extra steam freebies: http://blog.humblebundle.com/post/14549340777/1-min-price-for-getting-steam-keys

    I just built this computer, so there's no way DX is out dated?!?

    If you have Windows 7, install Direct X 9 (it's not included). However, if you've ever played any game on Steam they usually install it for you.

    So @kalia just gave me a piece of coal so I had 7 and could craft something amazingly stupendous that would bring about the end of days.

    And now @sym7 completes the trifecta of "I hear you have really bad luck at disconnecting from 2 hour co-op games" by tasking me with facing Cthulhu by myself. Thanks?

    CD-key that registers on Steam via the "Activate a product on Steam" interface.

    I kinda rather get coal than have coupons for games that either I already own, or never intend to.

    They are buying the games for 1 penny, getting new steam accounts, activating the CD keys on steam, making them valid steam accounts, getting a piece of coal for checking their inventory and gaining 1 entry into the gift give away is my understanding.

    Can't say that I didn't see it coming, considering how many people abuse the whole 1 cent thing. Surprised that Humble didn't change it earlier.

    In other news, @Raiden333 hits me with a flash of classiness, thanks for the Ax23 semi-sequel!

    Good luck to all entrants!

    Hope they can talk with Valve into removing from the contest any accounts which are newly registered and only have the HIB4/HIB3 in them. It's really messed up because it's taking advantage of a frikken charity drive.

    Many thanks to @JMan711. Classy gent that he is he decided to return the gifting favor, went through my wishlist, and sent over a copy of Trauma.

    I just read the synopsis for Trauma. I think I'm going to go hold my son for a while. I look forward to traumatizing myself, but maybe after the holidays ;-)

    I got Capsized as a gift, so that was pretty damn cool.

    How different is Chantelise from Reccettar?

    Chantelise is actually the first game so it's a bit less polished. It's also pretty much a straight action RPG without the shop simulator. It's pretty cute but a bit hard to control at times.
