Saints Row 4 is $6.65
Saints Rove IV is part of the current humble bundle and is included if you pay 12 bucks or more. So for twelve bucks you get Blackguard, Euro Truck and Saints Row IV plus everything else in the bundle.

Here's a copy of Half-Minute Hero for whoever may read this first.

I liked the game. It felt more like a mobile game in terms of content, but it was worth some time.

You can't redeem and then gift through Steam, but you can put in the person's email address for them once you click on the link. However, there's no reason they shouldn't work.

Ok, I received a Humble Bundle gift link. The problem is, I can't tell what it is until I redeem it, it seems. Which sucks, because if I already have it (whatever it is) the gift will be wasted. The giver can't tell what it is either because the humble bundle email with the URL contains no information about what the gift is, just a URL. He says the email receipts from Humble Bundle are also devoid of information, other than order number and total purchase value.

Wtf? This is a pain for everyone involved.

The giver bought a pile of stuff all at once, held onto it, then bought more stuff. Now his inbox is filled with multiple emails from Humble bundle, with multiple links, none of which tell him what the links are for, and when the links are followed, they just say "congrats, someone bought you a gift, click here to redeem it" with no information beyond that.

The giver knows it's one of a list of games he bought, but he can't tell which one.

He should be able to go to the links and see each one. When I went to the Banner Saga page, there was a "Claim this page" link that associated it with my account as well as the "Steam" redeem button. I'm pretty sure that you can hit the landing page and view the targeted game/bundle without triggering a hard association.

That is true. You can click the link, just don't redeem it or claim it. I made the mistake of claiming one, thinking it would give me another gift link to give away. Humble unclaimed it for me but it took a week.

Yours was "special" isgrim. I had "accidentally" claimed yours as my own (but not redeemed on steam) and had to ask support to "unclaim" it. Yours was no longer a gift at that point which is why you can see what it is when you claimed it. Gift URLs take you to a page that literally says "hey, someone gave you something, click this to take it" with no indication of what it is. Frustrating.

On the positive side, support got back to me within a couple of hours. They also said that since I didn't redeem it to steam, I could reassociate the game by changing the email address attached to the game, which is what I did, isgrim.

Given that, I think Jetfred is right and I can turn the "gift" into an unredeemed "game" at which point I can "gift" them by changing the email addresses and sending the URL to the gift receiver. The Faq says something else but it seems like the UI has changed since the faq was written.

If you didn't have any of the games in the new Square Enix bundle, the $15 tier is a ridiculously good deal. Newest Hitman, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Thief, Sleeping Dogs, Murdered, Supreme Commander and more coming.

I had Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs already, but getting Thief 2014, Murdered Soul Suspect and Deus Ex Director's Cut for a tenner is still really good value. Just one question, do I have to install their app to get the Android Hitman game? I got Steam keys for all the others, but the Hitman game isn't even listed and I can't seem to find any download instructions for it.

It should be listed under your bundles but you'll need to engage the Android filter. It defaults to Windows, I think. It's pretty much a big APK file.

Their app makes it easy to download Android apps as well as music and eBooks on Android devices.

The most recent bundle is of electronified board games. Can someone take a look and tell me if they are any good? I could definitely use some automated board games, and if they include ai, so much the better, but I have no experience in this area.

I can't link right now, but one of them was CATAN (which I assume was settlers of but didn't look closely enough).

Opinions?

The Ticket to Ride is a good implementation of a fantastic game.
I haven't played that version of Catan (yes, settlers).

No idea on the PC version but if it's anything like the Android version, it sucks. You don't actually get to play real CATAN vs. the AI, you play various scenarios with set victory conditions. There is a ton of DLC that might allow a regular game but it's impossible to tell what is what.

The version I have on the 360 (by Big Huge Games) is great but the Android version I have from United Soft Media is shit. Hopefully anything they put on the PC is better and more like BHG's version.
