The Humble Indie Bundle is Back

[Juliamon]

BTW is anyone having problems with processing their orders? I've been waiting for over an hour now.

I had trouble as well, the first time I clicked out of the "Waiting for Paypal" window after a minute and then I thought maybe I should have just waited a little more, so I paid again (so they got $10 total from me) and let it sit.... for well over 30 minutes. Eventually I gave up and grabbed a Steam key from ...another source (hey, my Paypal account says Humble Bundle got my money so I'm not pirating... also fwiw the source said they had the same issue) and used that.

Then about an hour later I got an email thanking me for my order. Just one email though.

So I guess maybe you should give it some more time. Something seems buggered up.

I paid $25 for them.

Although crayon physics seems like it would be far better on a tablet.

I paid about $10 I feel bad but its all I can afford atm I will donate more when i get paid. Promises!!

If I had money right now, I'd give $20...but I don't have money right now. /sad

My problem with the Bundle is still that: of the games they offer, those I have not already played, I don't need for free.

I'm surprised you are surprised that no one is spending money on this crap. I've looked at and demo'ed all 5 of those games and frankly, unlike prior years there's nothing on that list worth playing.

1. Crayon Physics, its scribblenaughts with a better physics engine but without the fun. Derp
2. Cogs, the only thing on the list that actually looks playable or even fun and its a puzzle game.
3. vvvvvv, are you kidding me? I've played better on newgrounds, and they want money for this?
4. Hammerfight, is garbage, swirly hammer thing in a physics engine world that looks similar to that Castlevania game that bored me because it was pretty much multiplayer only.
5. And Yet it Moves, words cannot describe how boring it is to play yet another generic physics engine puzzle game.

You guys want to play a good physics game: Its called Limbo, it is better in every respect.

Oh and we can play minecraft for free for two weeks.

Lets recap:

#1 - World of goo, gish, and Penumbra - amazing
#2 - Braid, Machinarium, Cortex Cmd, RotT - brilliant
#3 - Physics engine beta's and a flash game stolen from Newgrounds. - what's wrong with you guys?

For clarification, its not that I think that anyone should pay nothing for these games (or even pirate them), its that I'm confused as to why anyone would even bother at all. None of these games are fun or even interesting.

But that's not really a "fact," it's an opinion. Like if somebody put together a bundle with Outland, Super Meat Boy, and I dunno, a few other popular platformers, or maybe some bullet hell games. Would it be fair of me to say, wow, this is shit? Or just that they're not my bag and thus I will move on to other things?

I thought Crayon Physics was great, for the record. Bought it ages ago. The demo for And Yet It Moves was interesting but didn't turn my crank too much. Haven't tried the others.

Another thing worth bearing in mind: every purchase will carry a processing cost (PayPal, credit cards, whatever), so if you can't afford to kick in at least a buck or two, don't bother at all. I don't want to come across like a jerk about it, but it's pretty easy to end up actually costing these guys money and regardless of what you may think about the games in the mix, that's really not cool.

Of course it's my opinion. I apologize for appearing to be empirical in my original post, but there's no way that I'm the absolute authority on fun, except for myself. My point stands that there's nothing I find even remotely fun or interesting in the group.
