trusteft: If a game has lots of bugs or otherwise gets updated often, I strongly recommend against getting the gamersgate version. Rarely the games get updated unless you ask for it, and even then it is a 50-50, if you are lucky.

bansama: Then again, the retail patch tends to work with the GamersGate version. So you can most of the time just download whatever patch the devs/publishers make available via the usual channels. But yes, to get a patch hosted on GamersGate can sometimes take time due to them not being informed of patches by the developers/publishers.

Foxhack: According to my hard drive, I've downloaded 14.6 GB of games on Steam so far. I still have to download Fallout 3 GOTY (8GB - got it as a gift before the sale started), Scourge Project Ep. 1 + 2 (5 GB), Twin Sector (3500 MB), The Void (5620 MB) and The Witcher (14306MB).

And I still haven't downloaded my copy of Velvet Assassin off GamersGate.

I am glad I don't live in a country with metered internet right now.

Vitek: Interesting, GamersGate's Witcher is only 9,66GB.

And one question, how is Puzzle Quest compared to PQ2? If I own Puzzle Quest 2 is there any point in buying the first one?

What do you think?

LordKuruku: For those who already bought Humble Indie Bundle 2, and missed out on the first, go check out your order page again and claim your complementary copies of the games from the original bundle. These, too, can also be redeemed on Steam.

Late adopters can still buy in for the original bundle at about $7 at the moment.

Virama: You SHOULD be fine bro.

Vitek: Interesting, GamersGate's Witcher is only 9,66GB.
