Humble Indie Bundle 3

You've probably all come across one of the previous Humble Bundles, but I just though I'd throw this out here: pay what you want for six games, and they all work on Windows, Mac and Linux (Well, I can't seem to get VVVVVV to run on my Ubuntu laptop, but it's probably something simple and I'm just too tired to spot it; but the rest work great!).

Since you can pay what you want it is impossible to get ripped off; you can even do what I did and pay $0.20, maybe upping it to a reasonable price if I like any of the games.

It's a shame these bundles have suffered such a decrease in quality. I don't think I'll even bother this time.

I already own most of them. Might grab it for a few titles though.

Hammerfight is Really fun once you get into it. (protip: lower the mouse DPI sensitivity to half the suggested value. Works wonders).
Haven't tried the rest yet. Still, for only a few dollars, it's hard not to give it a try.

(Also, it beats the fuck out of the Frostbyte bundle, which I didn't even touch).

EDIT: Paid 7$.

I'm all for giving to charity but I would rather contribute what little money I have to a cause I sympathize more with considering what's on offer here. The only game on there that I know anything about is VVVVVV which does not hold much interest for me. Previous years at least had stuff I was familiar with like World of Goo, Braid and Penumbra. Sure, you can just pay $0.01 but I would rather not be a douchebag. I doubt I'll play any of those titles either way, but I'll make a mental note to contribute a few bucks to a charity when I get the chance.

And to the 25% who pirate this shit: Fuck yourself. I wonder if that played a role in not being able to get any high profile indie games. Sure, there's Minecraft on there... sort of.

Another indie game promotion Xbox owners might like to check out; Indie Games Summer Uprising. I submitted my X360 game to the voting for that, but I had to pull it because development had slowed to a crawl.

Sad to hear your game won't be making the xbox event Starglider. IMHO if you ever make a Pc port your game could be a strong contender for something as high profile as humble indie bundle.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Unfortunately not, because (a) it's an XNA game and XNA doesn't work on MacOS or Linux and (b) it needs a dual-stick controller.
