Not really "indie."
We know. Is anyone saying otherwise? The title of the article says it, the article says it, and the Humble Bundle at least implies it with the lack of "indie" anywhere in the promotion.

Oh, sweet. I loved Titan Quest, played through it over a dozen times, I still come back to it every summer for some reason I can't really explain. If THQ ever feel the need to make, say, a game with the same class system (which in my opinion is way, way better than the one conventional Diablo knockoffs and Diablo games themselves use), I'm totally buying it. Maybe a norse mythology-themed game in the same setting? Norse mythology is also pretty awesome, yet there aren't many games that embrace it fully. In fact, all I can think of is a ton of JRPGs that borrow some concepts and names and Too Human.

In fact, sat whatever you want about Too Human (it probably deserves all the panning), but I still think that crossing over norse legends with cyberpunk is kind of kickass.

Keep your eye on your GPU temps folks, titan quest has a serious problem of burning up video cards, and I don't think they ever addressed it.
I was just reading up on the game, since I couldn't remember it. Apparently they did address that issue.

You actually don't have to pay the average to get Titan Quest and the Armageddon DLC. You ought to, but you don't have to.

Having all the titles from a major developer isn't exactly humble, but then again this IS THQ
Swallowing and selling them for "Whatever you care to pay" certainly IS humble, though. Unfortunately... I'd feel bad if I offered what I could afford for them... they deserve more :(.
Every little bit helps :)

No TQ expansion yet? I hope the throw that in too. Immortal Throne basically brought TQ from the game you played for a change of pace from D2 while waiting for D3, to the game that is what D3 should have been.

Titan Quest? I bought it and got everything, including Red Faction, which was bonus. Did not receive Titan Quest. Is something wrong here?

EDIT: So i checked the web-page and i actually do have Titan Quest and a DLC for Red Faction available. In my defense, i bought the bundle many days ago and they must have added those later.

because of dark "we ripped off zelda" siders, 1& 2, because of Space Marine, because of this list of licensed mediocre stocking-stuffer crap that no one asked for or needed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_THQ_games

Games are a business, let the publishers die, the good devs will be picked up by a company that doesn't waste it's time making Cars for the X360.

I don't understand this mindset. At all. You have a company that has published great titles, and now, in a time of need for desperate measures, is pretty much giving them away, ALONG WITH BONUSES, benefiting you and them at the same time, along with charity and the HB team...
Of course, RSD was suppportive of charity actually doing some good. But you have a company famous for shovelware and tie-ins that has crashed in no small part due to that concept, which is exactly how business is supposed to work.

Why? Because of Steam DRM?
See, he already gave a face value response. Why did you have to add concepts when it was, at face value, aimed at THQ?

It's six fucking dollars. LESS than six dollars. I pay more for walnuts at the grocery store and they last less than a week.
So what? What obligation is there to help them out?

Also, at last count, they'd need seven times the current total for the HB to offset their massive losses. This is a drop in the bucket and unlikely to benefit them, especially since they still have to restore consumer and investor confidence. This may do one, but a fire sale is likely to have the opposite effect on the other.

And for the record, I paid ten bucks. Don't jump to conclusions with me like you did with RSD, please.

Got it. I'm particularly interested in Metro 2033 and Darksiders. While I'm no fan of Steam, getting those games for such a low price is certainly enough to overcome that dislike. However, I must say that THQ probably won't earn much from me. While I always beat the average by a margin, I give the vast majority of the money to the charities. I don't know how other people distribute their money, though.

*Buys* Yay! ^_____^

I have been wanting Saints Row and that makes it worth it alone. The other games are just an added bonus. :3

Well enjoy the dollar, because a dollar's just what you need, hey hey! (To the humble guys, of course)

THQ's new anthem
Christ I'm witty.

BUT YES THQ, YOU DID REAP WHAT YOU DONE SOW.

And yes, everything around you is indeed, crumblin' down.

A week back I paid $15, gave $13 to THQ and $1 to each charity. I kind of want those new bonuses over the one I got, Saints the third, because I already have Saints for the Xbox and my computer probably can't handle that game at all.

I very much enjoyed this song. It's a good way to start the morning.

Don't worry about it - it's how "pay what you want" model works. If you look at top contributors, you'll see people paying upwards of a thousand dollars for the bundle. In the end, you're giving money to charity (or to the developers, or to the guys organising the charity). Give for a good cause. And if you feel bad taking the games... well give them to someone else. I got friends some games with Humble Bundle cause I wanted them to play it and any help for charity's always welcome, right? :)
