new Humble Bundle is happening

**Joxsjua** · 05-31-2012, 02:01 PM

For those of you who've never heard of this, Humble Bundle is a charity event that happens every 2 months or so where you pay any amount you want and decide how that money is distributed between the charity, the game developers, and as a tip to humble bundle. Making the donation gets you a package of preset indie game titles(this is how I got Bontanicula for really cheap) and if you pay over the average donation(which at the moment is $7.68) you get a bonus extra game. The bonus game now is 'Bastion' which is a really fun game worth $15 regular price.

There are 3 payment methods: PayPal, amazon account, and I forget the 3rd option. These charity events only last 2 weeks so make sure and hurry to help a good cause. They will also ask if you want to be emailed in the future to be notified of the next humble bundle event.
You can literally pay 10 cents for 4-5 indie games and it also includes most of the soundtracks to those games. After a week into each event they always add an extra game for everyone so you'll be emailed if that happens to get the new title. There is also an option where you can gift these to other friends. *side-note, if the games are on steam I think you have to donate at least $5 to humble bundle to receive a steam id code if you want to register the games to your Steam account, but who cares about registering games to let people know your playing them

So go and Google "humblebundle" one word, and there's even a fun little YouTube video on the site describing the games and the goal of the charity itself.

If for some reason getting really cool indy games for cheap and donating to a really good charity hasn't convinced you to pick this up, maybe Rucks and Tim Schafer can. I'm definitely grabbing this within the next couple of days, and all you jerks should too.

This has to be by far the best Humble Indie Bundle so far. I mean just look at those games, Limbo, Bastion, Amnesia, Sword and Sorcery and finally Psychonauts which happens to be my favorite platformer. Psychonauts alone is worth big bucks if you ask me. My brother and I bought the last two Humble Indie Bundles (5$ each on both occasions), this one is a definite purchase.

I have already bought most of the games, but I re-bought them and gave most of the money to the charity with a little towards the developers and tip. The soundtracks is what sold me, especially that they are FLAC. (yes I'm an audiophile)

This definitely is one of the greatest packs ever. All of them (except for S&S I've never even heard of it) are all great games that get a high recommendation of play from me.

Just fyi, if people keep paying over the current average, it will become more and more expensive to get the 5th game (Bastion), which you have to pay over the average to get.

What platform is this? Is it PC? Sounds awesome.

Yes it is!

I have nothing else to add.

There's options for all three platforms: PC, Mac, and Linux

Sry, I should have mentioned this earlier

Got the email of the added bonus games if you donate over the average which is currently $8.12, you get these additional 3 games: Lone Survivor, Super Meat Boy and Braid. (8 games total). This deal is easily worth $60 if you bought each game separately. Available for PC, Mac, and Linux.

MERGED POSTS
You have less than 7 days before this charity event is over.

**If you already paid over the average donation last week, all 3 of the added games will now be available on your download page. Happy Gaming!

that sucks about the merged posting = bumped back down to the older post date. I was only trying to remind everyone that it's compatible with all 3 platforms. I will remember that for future reference, ty Elder.

I love Humble Bundles! They make up the majority of my Steam library. I like that they've added Braid and Super Meat Boy to this one, although I've had every bundle since 2 so I already had them. Nevertheless a valuable initiative that keeps the indie gaming market fresh - not to mention the contributions to charity. We always pay over the average in an equal split.
