Charity + Video Games = Win

[Bluecaptain]

There is this thing called The Humble Indie Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com

It supports charity, specifically Child's Play charity: www.childsplaycharity.org, a charity that provides games to children in hospitals, etc.

It also supports DRM free games, they can be shared with your friends or played many times without keys or codes. DRM free is the ideal that indie gamers want to reach. With Diablo 3 having to be online at all times to play the company can monitor the games use restricting it to only you, it also requires an internet connection, which is bs.

You can pay anything you want, but if you have $8.00 to spare then you can get 4 more games. With the donation comes the OST for each of the first 5 games, Bastion's is amazing I might add, so is Superbrother's.

The games they give you are awesome. The bundle is only available for 7 more days so give a dollar and you won't be sad.

Humble Indie Bundle was always a good idea, but you'd have to be fucking insane to turn down this spread! I don't even really like Braid or Super Meat Boy, but they still make for a very ambitious bundle.

I hope I can get Valkyrie in this program in a few years.

this is like the best humble bundle ever, even better than the one that had Super Meat Boy and other stuff. theres no reason not to get it! aside from already havin all those games

 

[Eiganjo]

if anything, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is already worth it on its own. That game is great to play in the dark, with headphones and volume to full, atmosphere and horror at its best :)

I havent played any of the other ones, but Amnesia gets a big thumbs up from me :D cant wait for the sequel :)

 

[Stellar]

I went ahead and paid the $8 for the extra four games. I've heard good things about Sword & Sorcery, so I'm definitely interested in playing it. Although, my internet connection is really slow at the moment, so I might have to wait until I'm home again in a few days to actually DL most of the games.

Thanks for the heads up!

ugh i love buying the humble bundles but i already own limbo smb psychonauts and braid and the other ones i know im not going to play =(

 

[Fisdunction]

The Humble Bundles are kinda old news by this point, but I will agree they are pretty nice. I'm upset with this bundle because I own pretty much all the games they're offering.

(This is worth getting for Bastion alone. Amazing game. Do not miss out)

my school's gaming club hosts various events throughout the year with profits going to child's play. C:

Yah I thought that might be the case, I decided to post it because it upgraded to include the other games, which is totally super special awesome.

 

[UltiMario]

Totally worth it for Psychonauts.

 

[aVocado]

Amnesia ? It has fucking Amnesia ?

Gah, I would so buy that if I could =/

Also Limbo and Bastion.. good package is good.

 

[shuckles my hero]

Please don't be the dick who gives like 1 pound. This actually costs them money in admin costs. You would be better off pirating the game.

But I only had 16 cents left on my paypal ;-;

Or being unable to run them on your awful laptop :(

Seriously, I would love to play Bastion in particular, but I can't afford a new laptop and my CPU falls just short of the minimum to run it. But this is such a good deal otherwise, though I'll steer clear of Amnesia. No like horror.

 

[Dan Dan]

got them all for £3.50 or something stupid on the day it came out. Got a spare Bastion key since I have it already, but you should really pay yourself!

 

[Temperantia]

Easily the best $10 I've ever spent

 

[Wikey]

Just spent my $10. I have Braid but everything else is new to me. Don't know which to download first. The average price paid is up to $8.26 and about 490,000 bundles have been sold. That's a ton of money to charity since people probably used the default breakdown or the all to charity breakdown. (Who would give less than the default to charity?)

 

[Dan Dan]

The funnest game in the bundle is watching Notch and HumbleBronyBundle outbidding each other :D

 

[vonFiedler]

The money I spent has so far been worth it for Bastion alone.

 

[Royal Flush]

Amnesia alone is worth any amount you pay, seriously. For the extra four, give Super Meat Boy a try.
For those who already own one or two games included, I believe you get a tradable copy of it, so you can trade for other steam games or gift it to a friend.

 

[Wikey]

Limbo is ENTHARLLING. I have not enjoyed a video game this much in idk how long.

 

[coolbiz]

This is great to bad I have no credit card :/

I didn't get a trade able copy when i bought it. I did get steam activation keys, if that's what you mean. They may become trade able after you activate them though.

This may be slightly off-topic, but did the icons for Lone Survivor and Super Meat Boy Editor properly appear on you guys' desktops after the games were downloaded off of Steam and installed?

 

[Fishin]

This would be a fantastic deal if I didn't already own every game except Swocery and Lone Survivor. I might still throw in a little cash for Swocery + soundtracks though.
