The anticipation is getting to me.

Watch the guesses/clues be an epic troll, and the actual games end up being:

• Fallout 4 (exclusive early release)
• Life Is Strange (ep 1-5)
• Kerbal Space Program
• This War of Mine
• The full original Humble Origin Bundle (all Steam keys inc. Sims 3, Mirror's Edge, etc.)
• Metroid Prime Trilogy (surprise classic release & announcement that Nintendo is entering PC distribution!)

Yay! Only a few more hours before I can confirm that I already have everything! -.-

It wouldn't be too bad if the games ended up being:

Besiege
Weeaboo Chronicles
Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell
Lethal League
Crypt of the Necrodancer

But that's unlikely, I don't think Crypt of the Necrodancer will be in a bundle soon

Really high hopes aside, I mainly just want my money's worth. For $12 I could have gotten Infinifactory this week. I'm pretty confident I'd get at least 30 hrs of good play out of it, probably more. I'm just hoping what I get from humble won't leave me disappointed I didn't do that, either because it includes at least a couple games I actually want, or because it includes a few that other people want badly enough to trade for.

(The odds that any given bundle has more than a couple games I want to activate are low. I'm picky.)

Kinda excited about this. For one I really hope their hints were red herrings, on the other hand I might get two games from my wishlist and some good stuff for giveaways. Fingers crossed.

Three hours left, my predictions:

Saints Row IV
Towerfall Ascension
Valkyria Chronicles
Lethal League
Shovel Knight
Besiege
+Legend of Grimrock 2

It's almost here! Honestly I am just curious if Transistor will be in the bundle or not.

If the predictions are right in the end, the strategy it's pretty stupid. The people who buy that bundle it's people who probably purchase that games on sales, because they have the money to do that.

I was expecting something more. I hope I'm worng, because I already eat that bullet. I have basically more than half the games predicted.

Well, I think at least I gonna make some cool giveaways. ;-D

Now I bought the November bundle with PayPal.
But now I do not know, where to cancel the subscription! I can not see the "cancelling" in Humble site and also can not see it in PayPal site.
So where Do I have to cancel it?
Because I do not want December bundle (or at least I will wait on next pictures of games...)

i just want a surprise. i hope all the hints they gave are just for trolling and we totally face different games. i just spent 12$ for the excitement, not for the already known games :ppp

If those guesses are true I'm gonna regret a lot aaaarghhhhhhh dunno what to do, open the door or keep the money¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿? My teeth don't deserve this.

A friend of mine shared ths in his activity feed. I was thinking, more people should see this, so I asked for his permission to spread it around. So here, community, MakoSipper's manifesto:

If you're wondering if you should get Humble Bundle's Monhtly Bundle, I say you probably shouldn't. A few reasons:
.

• Only 5% goes to charity, as opposed to their standard 15%, which are customizable. So it's a not-so-Humble Bundle. Note that 5% is $ 0.60.
• They say "Discover games that haven't been featured in other bundles.". They probably mean "on Humble Bundle", which is not only misleading, but will open grounds for tons of repeats.
• Subscription is a treacherous way of making you forget you'll pay for it on each month, and since they give no refunds for this one, you'll be pretty much screwed and probably curse yourself a few times for not cancelling it.
• They count on people's FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to make profit. Don't give in to FOMO! You'll probably regret it. $12 is a steep price for a bundle, especially when you don't know what you're buying. Don't worry, you'll have other opportunities of getting the games. The bet is just to risky to be worth it.
• First month's list is probably the following: Valkyria Chronicles, Besieged, Rogue Legacy, Transistor, Saint's Row IV and Legend of Grimrock 2. While it's not a bad list, remember that some of these have been bundled before, that you may also own at least a few of those, and, most importantly, their first monthly bundle should be one of their best, since they'll try to convince non-buyers that they've missed on a great deal. Just don't give in. You're better than that.
• Buying bundles when you know the games is the way to go. Even HB has some great bundles, like their recent Capcom one. Remember that you might purchase the $1 tier when you're not sure about the BTA (Beat The Average) games AND when the average is still low (for example, when it's $4), and only later, after you've confirmed the other BTA games and that they're interesting to you, you raise how much you pay to beat the average from the time when you payed the $1 (ie, if the average raised to $6 after the new games have been revealed, you still will only have to beat the average of $4--as per the example--from the time you paid the $1).
  .
  So basically HB is doing a dick business move that's not humble at all. So I can think of only two factors that might make this HBM worth it for you:
  .
• You live in UK and your Steam Store currency is in pounds (but that weighs only a tiny bit)
• You're only starting to build you Steam library and have around one or two hundred games tops, and most of them are really crappy indie games from other bundles
  .
  But, seriously, DO YOU WANNA SUPPORT A DICK MOVE? What's the message it's gonna send to bundle websites?
  .
  Anyway, some people have asked me about it over the last week, and I hope this sheds some light on this matter for those who are wondering if they should do it or not. ;)

I'm so happy i didn't subscribed. The games doesn't look worth the price. And we only can guess that next bundles will be even worse. Compared to ps+ this is a joke. The price should be 4-5$.

People don't seem to get that many of these games would not be in a bundle this soon, unless Humble could guarantee the developers and publishers a higher cut of money. The purpose of the monthly bundle is to attract game developers who turn their noses up at bundles because they see them as the bargain bin of gaming. So, this bundle isn't tricking you out of more money, it's giving you an opportunity that would NOT EXIST otherwise. People think they are entitled to get games in bundles. They aren't. Many developers will NEVER bundle their games. If I was a developer, you would never see any of my games in a bundle unless it was at least a decade after release and I had made all the money I could from regular sales. Bundles only end up devaluing the market value of game. Bundles don't make any sense from a business standpoint unless you're trying to get more attention for your game, and you view the losses as marketing cost, or your game has run it's course for normal sales, and now you're just trying to get a little bit of extra money. People are delusional about bundles and think that putting a game in a bundle is some sort of requirement. Nope.

So. Counter is down to zero. Where's the reveal? Or is it supposed to come later?

Anyone know what was in the bundle?

Ticker seems to have ended a few minutes too soon. I assume 8 more minutes?

hmm... anyone know what is in the bundle?

Waiting for the bundle to get revealed. I didn't buy it, but i just wanted to see whether i'll regret for not buying or no.

Ha! Me too. It's like to opposite of buyer's remorse!

Almost caved twice today, getting as far as the Paypal confirmation screen a couple of hours ago. Was finally going to do it 10 minutes ago only to find I was too late. Oh well.

so what does it have in it?

Towerfall: Ascension is the new "unlock now" game, new subscription is up.

My money! I bought it in the last seconds ;_;
