Will you get this BE MINE Bundle?
Quote from the chat, notable for the fact that it only seems to suggest two games right now.

Probably best to ignore the content indicator for now, because things are still being built.
There was also a not-so-backed-up guess that the "face" in the background was Guythrush Threepwood, from the Monday Island series.
As well as a guy called Miller (no idea who this is, one of the groupees guys?) trying to find a game for the bundle from one of the previous HumbleBundle Monthlys.

Monday Island? I love Monkey Island, but Monday Island... I must get.
Comment has been collapsed.
Please. Monday Island is just a cheap knockoff of Sunday Island, why settle for second-best?
Though, everyone knows Thursday Island is the absolute best. :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Here I thought Wednesday Island was the best, due to the camel NPC that helps out the player character. But, we all agree Tuesday Island sucks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes and no. I was making a hump day joke, but remember about Ms. Wednesday and the camel version of Sanji (Forgot the camel name) when I wrote it. Need to watch One Piece from the beginning again with subs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Argh, I didn't even think of "hump day". That's more obvious, of course.... But the talk about days of the week and islands made me think of Baroque Works, and I got the camel mixed up with Karoo for some reason.
P.S. The camel was named "Eyelashes" iirc.

Stop it. You're making me want to rewatch the early episodes of OP.. and the anime didn't even really take off until after the first 300, so I'd have to at least watch past that..
No way do I have that kind of time >_<
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, Tuesday Island is pretty, in a rustic kind of way.
Great if you're into the whole isolation and contemplative retreat thing, but definitely not a particularly exciting place.
Friday Island is totally overhyped, though.

If that's an actual question rather than tongue-in-cheek:
Miller is a community member who has been very active in bundle curation of late. He's not officially part of Groupees' staff.
He's been a bit misleading at times, but despite my lingering reservations toward him as a person, those seem to have been more growing pains as he got used to curation, than intentional.
As a general rule, you ought be able to consider anything he says about bundles as dependable; in fact, he's generally been far more reliable on such things than the actual Groupees staffers. :P

What's ol Millies done to you? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
It was somewhat both ;P
I don't really keep track of groupees at all, only very very casually look at the chats during the pre-order guesses for Be Mine. It was a comment made by someone in chat that Miller had said as such, I couldn't find where he had talked himself, so didn't know what was up with that.

If this is Guybrush, Guybrush could be a pissed Lara Croft.

a pissed Lara Croft.
Rise of the Tomb Raider confirmed!
Though with that appearance, it'd actually have to be classic Lara, so.. eh..

Maybe Barbie Dreamhouse Party will be in the bundle...

Be Mine? I have no problem buying. I always like Be Mine.

I think there is a cat on it every time, so it might not mean anything.

Be Mine bundles are usually pretty good.
I'll definitely be pre-ordering, regardless of hints. :X
Comment has been collapsed.
I would be amazed if the preorder is not available 24 hours before usual humble weekly time on Tuesday (their week off due to monthly bundle)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, not sure what HB has to do with Groupee's but not every Groupee's bundle has a pre-order option - the :"pre-order" option was added at some point well after Groupee's started and it used to be "hidden".
Comment has been collapsed.
Ive been on groupees since it started. I know preorders was added at some point last year and added to most their bundles ... but dont remember it being a "hidden" option ever ?!?
Groupees make more sales (i assume) when humble bundle is not around for a week, so i predict it to launch on the tuesday 6-7pm gmt when people look for a humble bundle. This is of course based on no facts but has only occurred lately when humble stopped Thursday weekly bundles - hence the inference.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, now I get what you're saying about HB :-)
As to "hidden", I simply meant that it was only recently that the "pre-order" option was added to their front page. Previously you had to read about a new bundle and find the link - thus "hidden".
Comment has been collapsed.
I will preorder it because Be Mine bundles are good.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think they already had the "Jonny was here" hint in a bundle o_O If I'm right it was the Build A Bundle 5 and the hint was for the game "Manhunter"
lptp mentioned this hint for the BAB 5 bundle (2nd post here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/E1fwc/groupees-build-a-bundle-5-live )
Comment has been collapsed.
Isn't "Jonny was here" on pretty much every be mine bundle. I think it's not a hint usually?
Comment has been collapsed.
hmm...might be xD Just like the cat I think. Now that you mention it... Well, seems that I'm wrong with my guess ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
The cat and Jonny is here is like a trademark of be mine and his hint art. It's been on all be mines for a year maybe 2.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure if this is preorder or not and at this point i'm afraid to ask.
Comment has been collapsed.
Will preorder for sure! That's not even a question! xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Added to OP for clarification:
Q: WHY IS THERE NO PREORDER? Where is the button?
A: Preorders START SOON. There IS NO PREORDER BUTTON YET. >.<. Because, again, PREORDERS "START SOON"
Comment has been collapsed.
It could be beneficial to mention somewhere in the Hints section that 'jonny was here' and the green cat are jonny's trademark and not hints. It always confuses someone:-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Soon™ on Groupees: Buy the bundle even before it gets announced! XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Pay $1 to be put into a special list of people who are the only ones able to see the preorder page one day before it becomes available for everyone else?
Comment has been collapsed.
Aww, this "preorder starts soon but we won't tell you when" cr*p again... :/ this is how I miss preorders all the time...

I don't know why you guys are looking at bundled games.
Contradiction to an earlier comment about getting one of the older HB Monthly Games? Hint at the games never been bundled before? That could fit in line with the guess for Monkey Island... neither the original nor TellTale version have been bundled before.
It IS a very close resemblance, though the eye colours do not match. Could be a slipup.
Comment has been collapsed.
As I understood it, he was referring only to guesses people were making toward the current art hints [or even just the 'Guybrush' art], at that time.
Comment has been collapsed.
No way this is Guybrush Threepwood. He never looks that angry. He's much too innocent for that look. I think we are on a completely wrong track.

has 2 games that Miller is "personally interested in"
come from Miller's wishlist( wish list rumor denied - Miller commented saying they aren't necessarily in his WL)Cyanic:
So known so far: 6 Steam, 1 Greenlight. 1 Steam was bundled in Humble Monthly. Reviews are above 70% to 100%.
Miller has confirmed he got a Monthly game into the bundle
"Miller mentioned more, it was in one of the first three monthlies." (Take this with a grain of salt)
Look below to see a list of possible games. Remember, only ONE of these games will be included in the Be Mine #25 Bundle. Happy guessing!
Guess ONE game out of any of the following games from the first 3 HB Monthly Bundles.
Thanks for the list, KBoomDUMAL
