Just adding another blog into the sea of blogs talking about how awesome the Humble Indie Bundle is. It's just pretty darn awesome for both consumers and developers, and naming your own price is about the coolest thing in the world for broke college students. It's really cool for two reasons: 1)I would never have played these games if they weren't all set up in the same package, and 2) I got 5 games for 6 bucks. The fact that some of the money went to Child's Play, a charity I have been a big fan of for a long time, is pretty cool as well; now I can say I supported the charity, however weak my contribution may have been.
I have a big soapbox position about video game piracy that I kinda felt like talking about, but the point is moot; if you have an opinion on it, I'm probably not going to change it here. But things like The Humble Indie Bundle are a wonderful way to let the people who have the money barrier for games get some good games for a low price.
The money I paid was supposed to be my thanks, I suppose, but I really wanted to do what little I could to thank them more. SO thanks to all of the people who made the Humble Indie Bundle possible, from the developers to the people who put the bundle together.
