Since the last humble bundle thread has died (and it surrounded the 3rd one) I thought I would make a new GENERAL Thread about this wonderful service.

Oh and there's a new one out now: http://www.humblebundle.com/

The Humble Introversion Bundle comes with:

DARWINIA an RTS game about a security program defending it's system from a Virus.

MULTIWINIA: a Multiplayer version of Darwinia

WARGAMES: DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME. Wanted to play Global Thermo-nuclear War.......well here you go.

UPLINK: You get to play a hacker in this puzzle adventure game.

Just beat the average and you get Aquaria and Crayon physic deluxe.

Hmm... I'm not sure whether or not to get this one. I've already got Uplink and Crayon Physics, you see. Are these games giftable?

I already have all the games, but I might give a thought for this because it has a couple of prototypes. That, and there are possibilities for me to gift them.

I paid over the minimum for Aquaria, because that's the only game out of them I don't own.

I'll find some use for the main portion's steam code.

The only thing of this I don't already have is Aquaria. Oh, and those prototypes. I would very much like to get a hold of those. Bit of a tough decision...

I'm kinda surprised that Aquaria is the only one of those you DON'T have, seeing as it's the only one of these games that I've heard of before.

Taking a break from FE1, for the FE8 draft instead

For once, I actually beat the average. I don't own Aquaria, and it got added too soon for me to get my $0.01 purchase in and run.

I got the humble bundle myself. I paid six dollars for it, and feel kinda happy I did some good.

I hear the aquaria game is very good, and I have really no clue as to what the other games are (Sadly). Now...I just need to download them somewhere and make sure they run...cause I'm not sure they can on my computer...

Oh well, I have it DRM free, so I can bring it to one that does work.

Humble Bundle now has Dungeons Of Dredmore and the Introversion SVN (if you are into that kind of thing). If you already purchased the bundle you get it free. If you haven't its only the minimum price of $3.72

Hm? can you link? I don't think I see that with the first link ontop of the page.

And also, what type of games are those two?

Dungeons of Dredmor is roguelike and latter isn't a game, but source code for all introversion games tongue

Decided to get the bundle after the inclusion of Dungeons Of Dredmor. The prototypes of Subversion seems interesting to me also, and the source code for Introversion games? Schweet!

I read somewhere that 25% of all Humble Bundles are pirated. Now, why does the average person pirate a game? High cost? Corrupt Corporate Executives making the game? That pesky DRM? The Humble Bundles have NONE of these, since they're made by independent developers and are "pay-what-you-like". And yet, people still pirate them. Apparently, some people think that 1 dollar (the suggested minimum) or even 1 cent (the actual minimum) is too much to pay for 3 or 4 high-quality games. If Humans Are Bastards allowed examples, this would probably be on the list.

[up]Source Please. I find it suspect that anyone would pirate something they can pay $.01 for.

@Sgt Frog 1: There are some who pirate it "just because" (these assholes should die), or they really do have no way to pay for it (no credit card, area doesn't support payment methods, etc...you can't really fault these guys, espcially if they are kids)...hell, I might need to pirate it too if I couldn't convince my mom (who is extremely paranoid about online credit card theft) for me to borrow her credit card (I never did it though)...well, since I just got her to do an online-payable debit card, that shouldn't be a real problem for me buying anymore...

Will be buying the current bundle as soon as my debit card got activated...Introversion really need money...

Here's the source about the Bundle piracy...

Oh. My. God. Every single one of those games has been on my wishlist at some point YEAAAAAAAAAAH. (unfortunately I already own Super Meat Boy, Gratuitous Space Battles and Cave Story+ but its worth it anyways.)

And once again the Bronies are on top... for now!

-is contemplating donating to the group at some point-

To me, it's worth it for Jamestown and HD Cave Story alone (Shank was on my wishlist at one point though), as I already own three of the five games on the bundle.
