    i know isn't that awesome! I would donate another 10 bucks just to be nice but i am broke and need money to go home to see family lol

    EDIT: it's automatically added to your d/l pack. Go to the page you d/l the games from and the other's should be there. If not maybe they only gave it to people who donated X amount of money. I donated 10 bucks so who knows.

    Indeed you are right, and it gets better... they've added keys for steam activation for both bundles, yay for keeping the game collection orderly!

    Does the game show up in the community list for anyone? I was at 298 before and still at 298 after activating bundle even though the games are added to the list.

    You get the first bundle included if you pay more than $7.65:

    Perhaps someone should let them know they're accidentally giving it away :p

    EDIT - I'm chatting with one of their support people, apparently the first bundle was free for everyone who bought the second one until yesterday.

    maybe it was for everybody if the average got above the target amount.

    I paid $10.00 though for mine. Wanted to pay more but just dont really have it.

    The target changes dynamically based on the current average. It was $7.65 an hour ago, now it's up to $7.66.

    EDIT - Okay, it works as intended. The support guy had me buy another copy of the second pack for a cent, and it only gave me that bundle, not the first. Just as well, because I already had the first :p

    does cortex command show up in your steam? I registered my first humble bundle when they first put it up on steam and not all games show up.

    Cortex Command and other other game are still in beta, so they are no on steam yet. When the full version of the game is released it should show up on steam.

    Cortex Command I have been meaning to go play, kinda looks like worms mixed with some other game genre.
