The Humble Bundle Thread

hey this is just a headsup. i just got in on it. if you don't know about these bundles, they've been doing them a couple years now and they're pretty cool. you donate whatever $ amount you want through amazon or paypal, and then you get several indie games either directly downloaded or a steam key if you prefer. there are also sliders to adjust the proportions of where your money goes between the devs and the kids charity.

usually they have 1 or 2 cherries amongst some riffraff, but this one is all AAA titles... there's limbo, amnesia, psychonauts (by double fine's shafer), and if you beat the avg which is as of now ~7.50, you get bastion.

enjoy...

hmm you might be ok w/ an older pc. these are all lower intensive games. only amnesia is 3d i think and it's a lot older. pretty sure if conan is working for you this will.

 

yea, at this point if i were you i would just save up and drop 4 or 500 on a new W7 desktop when you can. thats what i did a year ago and i haven't looked back.

having said that, you could donate a dollar or even a penny and try these out and if they work you can come back and add more a donation and if not, not. but i digress.

 

Thanks for the heads up! Downloading them now through Steam. Love Schafer, "what's this Li-nux?" Really looking forward to Limbo and Psychonauts.

 

cool! i just tried limbo last night and it blew my fucking mind. the animation and atmosphere is such a mix of creepy and rainy-day-awesome. i got stuck a few scenes in and am trying to resist a walkthrough. can't wait to try psychonauts too... i played the much of the underrated Brutal Legend game w/ Jack Black by Schafer a few years ago and LOVED that.

 

Nice, great idea, purchased, thank you.

 

Awesome. I donated $10 for now, will probably throw more their way next paycheck. I've been wanting to try Amnesia for a while, and this is the perfect opportunity.

 

lone survivor just got added to the humble indie bundle along with super meat boy and braid.​

Man, I might have to donate again for the rest of the bunch! Unfortunately I'm having video issues with Psychonauts. Was playing fine, then went to sign back in and it's hung up, can't make it past the opening screen.

 

Hmm... I was contemplating getting this before the other three games were added, but now I think I'm totally sold.

I've talked to a few friends and heard nothing but rave reviews on almost all of these games. Seems like an awesome deal.

 

How do you get these games once you have purchased them?

 

Oh, yes. I just received the E-mail. I guess my payment took a minute to process. Thanks.

 

I went ahead and bought it.

So far I have tried Limbo and Super Meat Boy.

I don't know how much I like Super Meat Boy. I can't seem to get the controls down very well.

Limbo, on the other hand, took up a good few hours of my night. I can see myself banging my head on my keyboard in blissful frustration for many nights to come on that game. It is quite fun.
