New Humble Bundle

[Abominator]

I've gone completely crazy on the sale, i think i've spent over £150 and almost filled my hard drive to capacity!

Now I need the time to play everything...

[Speed Racer]

I just bought the Star Wars: Jedi Knight pack, Cyan Worlds (Myst and the like), the Streets of Rage trilogy, and Virtua Fighter 2.

I'm a little pissed with Virtua Fighter 2 because I didn't know it would be the Sega Genesis version, as I had it for PC years ago. Suddenly it makes sense why there aren't any other Saturn titles on Steam...

[saldite]

You know what time it is, mother#####ers!
It's Humble Indie Bundle time!

Humble Bundle 6

Contains:

• Rochard (A puzzle action-platformer)
• Shatter (Some brick breaking game that could be decent)
• S.P.A.Z. (Don't know what this is like. Full title is Space Pirates And Zombies. I thought it looked kind of RTS like, but some people are equating it to a top-down shooter. Looks alright.)
• Torchlight (Action RPG in the same vein as Diablo)
• Vessel (A neat looking puzzle platformer about liquids)

And, if you manage to pay more than the average, you also get:

• Dustforce (A 2D action platformer about...Uh...Janitors? Janitorial staff? Saving the world? I don't know.)

This bundle seemed a bit underwhelming to me when I first looked at the selection of games, especially considering I already own Torchlight. Although, after seeing a few videos of some of the games, reading reviews, getting opinions, etc., I was sold. Vessel, Rochard, and S.P.A.Z. alone got me to get this. Plus, a DRM free copy of Torchlight for Linux is always nice.

Anyway, same stuff as before.
No DRM, on all major computer OS's, Steam keys if you pay more than a dollar, supporting charity, etc.
This bundle is definitely worth getting if you don't already have Torchlight in some form.

Dustforce is the BEE'S KNEES. Vessel is pretty cool and I've heard good things about SPAZ but it ain't my bag. Get this one for Dustforce alone (you need a gamepad, though, trust me.)

[saldite]

I've heard a lot of good things about Dustforce. I haven't played it yet since I can't get the Linux version to work right. I'll probably give it a week and try again when the bugs are ironed out as I can't be arsed to install the Windows version in Wine. It looks like easily the best platformer of the the games presented, though.

[Winged Warrior]

I recently got HB6, The first impressions of Rochard, Shatter, and Dustforce are favorable. I'll have give Tourchlight and Vessel a second chance, later, but currently I'm disappointed by them. S.P.A.Z. is... so bad.  It made me think of Alien Swarm.

[Abominator]

I got it due to almost buying Rochard the other day on Steam anyway

[Winged Warrior]

EEEHHH,

I finished Rochard...

if you like story driven games that don't gaybash half way through... Rochard might not be the game for you... 

I actually found myself agreeing with the following review: http://www.crit-hit.net/rochard/

Still not a BAD game, but the controls are solid enough, but the story, humor, and the feeling of completion are utter fumbles.

New pay-what-you-want game every 4 days, how good!

[saldite]

Humble eBook Bundle.
Pay money for books, support charity, blahblahblah.

I got it because, apparently, Signal To Noise is really good and some of the other stories interested me.
Formats are PDFs, MOBI, and EPUB.
Now I just have to actually get the time to read.

THQ humble bundle.
Steam only. Get it.
I'll co-op with anyone in Saints Row the Third at ANY point because that game is a #####ing blast.

[Winged Warrior]

I picked tis bundle up the moment I saw it. I'm so excited to play some multiplayer* saints row with SB/Other people you don't know or care about.  Excited to see which new games they add in two weeks, if they do.

[spoiler]*Until THQ shuts down all it's servers, because they're poor as #####, and they know it. [/spoiler]

[saldite]

There's a new humble bundle up.
Humble Indie Bundle 7.
Includes:

• Snapshot (Pretty decent puzzle platformer)
• The Binding Of Isaac + DLC (Already have this from another bundle, but it's good to have the DLC. Not a bad game. Pretty fun)
• Closure (Another puzzle platformer. Never played it. Apparently pretty good.)
• Shank 2 (The first one was pretty decent)
• Indie Game: The Movie (Could be an alright concept if they actually picked less pretentious game creators to center the movie on)

Pay more than the average and you get:

• Dungeon Defenders + DLC (Apparently a pretty good RPG/Tower Defence hybrid)
• Legend Of Grimrock (A really good, old-school first-person RPG. I really like it at least)

Anyway, DRM free, charity, all major OS's, pay what you want, blahblahblahbuyit.

[Abominator]

Decent crop, not as amazing as past ones though.

[TheRedPriest]

I remember when I could buy games on physical media and enjoy them on my own system, take them over to a friends to play, sell them or buy them later if I missed them on release or just couldn't afford everything at once.

[Johncarllos]

Unlimited downloads of the Humble Bundles. DRM free.

[saldite]

Humble Double Fine Bundle.

Includes:

• Costume Quest
• Psychonauts
• Stacking
• Brutal Legends (pay more than the average)
• Broken Age (pay $35 or more; new adventure game that they're making from their Kickstarter)
• T-Shirt (pay $70 or more)

I already own Costume Quest and Psychonauts, and I have no interest in the other games aside from Broken Age, which I'll get eventually anyway, so...

But, yeah, Psychonauts is a good reason to get this bundle if you don't own it.

[Johncarllos]

I already have and have beaten psychonauts, but Stacking looked like a fun little game, and I always get the urge to play Brutal Legend once in a while just for the music and atmosphere.

Not the boss fights though. Ugh.
I bought it yesterday as soon as I saw the email.

[saldite]

Alan Wake and Alan Wake American Nightmare in a Humble Weekly Sale.

Pay what you want. Support charity. Pay more than $1 for a Steam key.
This deal is Windows only.

[Abominator]

$1 for both Alan Wake games is too good to resist!

[Johncarllos]

I grabbed it. Very excited to play it, after Borderlands 2 and Blood Dragon.

[saldite]

And now, following up that fantastic Alan Wake deal is Humble Bundle 8.

Includes:

• Little Inferno (never heard of it; looks okay)
• Awesomenauts (apparently good?)
• Capsized (A platformer game I've had my eyes on for a while now)
• Thomas Was Alone (never heard of it)
• Dear Esther (Looks pretty)

Pay more than the average and you get:

• Hotline Miami (Easily the best game in the bundle and more than worth getting)
• Proteus

mac, windows, linux, charity, ##### it

I got it for Capsized, Dear Esther, and Proteus.

[Orange Devil]

I'm excited about this one!

Little inferno is another game by the World of Goo people.

The rest really just look amazing too. Maybe the best humble bundle yet?

[Johncarllos]

I've beaten Dear Esther 3 times now. good little 1 hour game. Lots of fun stuff to think about. It can change every time though.

[saldite]

On top of the new bundle, there's also another weekly sale.

https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

It's a Telltale sale.
Games include:

• Back To The Future: The Game (not too bad if you're a fan of the movies)
• Sam And Max: Devil's Playhouse (easily the best game in the series next to Hit The Road)
• Poker Night At The Inventory (apparently pretty funny?)
• Hector: Badge Of Carnage (port of iOS adventure game; they're okay)
• Puzzle Agent 1 & 2 (I heard these were pretty fun)
• Wallace And Gromit's Grand Adventure
• BEAT THE AVERAGE: The Walking Dead (I own it, but have yet to play it)

All of these are for Steam on Windows and Mac only.
I'm probably not going to buy this because I already have all the games I'd want from it, but, still, not a bad deal if you like PnC adventure games at all.

EDIT: Apparently everything BUT The Walking Dead is available as a DRM-Free download on the Humble Page when you buy the games. Only The Walking Dead actually requires Steam at all.

[Winged Warrior]

Awesomenauts is pretty boring.
Little Inferno is made by the world of goo people. Don't have it, but want it.
Everything else of the HB8 is new to me. Probably not going to beat the average.

Going to get the telltale sale.  But the bttf game can suck my dick.

[ASR]

Little Inferno is neat but overshadowed by how great World of Goo was.
Thomas Was Alone is fantastic but I haven't thought about it much since playing it.
Dear Esther is pretentious and artsy but I had a good time with it. Real short.

Hotline Miami, though? One of the best games I've played in years. Absolutely phenomenal. The Bundle is worth it for this game alone.

[Mikero]

Just the name "Hotline Miami" screams 80's. I don't know anything about it but it sounds like a new version of Dream Phone but with more hypercolor shirts.

[Abominator]

New Humble Android bundle is ok but not as incredible as some of their offerings.

Rochard is on sale there too, and it's easily worth a buck.

Humble Origin Bundle is up and it's an insanely good deal.

[saldite]

I was just about to post about that since I forgot to post about the Deep Silver bundle.
Despite being an EA funded bundle, none of the money goes to them.
All of their shares are going to charity.

Plus, a lot of the games have Steam keys instead if you don't want to use Origin(although, IIRC, some of them do that double DRM ##### that Ubisoft loves to do where you log into Steam and then Origin/Uplay when you start the game).

Either way, a really good deal.

Already have Dead Space 1, but I got it for Dead Space 3, Crysis 2, and Mirror's Edge.
I'm hoping that the first Crysis will be added in at some point later on in the bundle.
