Stacking is 75% off, and it's well worth it from what I've read.

Limbo is pleasing and quite interesting as a puzzle game from what I've played so far.   2.5 us$ is nothing.

Limbo is an incredibly good game. Its... pathos... is strong.

All these $10-$15 games that were released over the past few months I've restrained to buy.   Now that they are like $2.50 I've been throwing my money at them.

EDIT : The community votes and flash deals have been better than the daily summer deal.

I haven't even looked at the Summer thing with everything else I have going on RL. Are they doing anything like the Xmas one, with special in-game cheeves to get "tickets" for a drawing?

Nope, but you can vote on specific games to get special sales.

The Double Fine bundle looks promising, and by that I mean I'll have an extra copy of Psychonauts and Costume Quest to give to people.

How good is Stacking? That's probably going to be the dealbreaker here.

Costume Quest is cute...good sort of JRPG knockoff for kids. My daughter and I finally got around to beating the whole thing the other day.

I haven't played Stacking but I've heard good things about it. As far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong with Double Fine.

Yeah, I love CQ and Psychonauts so I have high hopes for Stacking. Time to grab it, I guess.

You can do that? I thought buying packages meant buying another copy for yourself that is not giftable?

You are correct in thinking this.

I haven't bought any of these indie bundles, so I'm not sure about these, but I remember when that indie space bundle came out last month I got giftable copies of the two games I already had.

Relevant Steam Support article, in case anyone is interested.

Since the Double Fine bundles doesn't seem to specifically state that you'd get extras, I wouldn't bank on it. Although I guess if you have copies through the Humble Bundles or whatnot that you haven't already claimed, those could be your 'extras'.

(I've gotten bitten by that one before. It's about as annoying as not being able to buy the four packs if you already own the game.)

What? I thought it was just the non-Steam bundles that did that, like the humble ones.

Also, can't I just buy the bundle as a gift, unpack it into the separate games in my steam inventory, and then just take Stacking?

Wait why can't I unpack bundles anymore, I swear I've done this before

Stacking is still 75% off on it's own, too. So you could just get that instead of the bundle.
