New games added to humble bundle

Humble Indie Bundle 9 is now erupting with 10 games! | Humble Mumble

Pretty stacked lineup of indie release

Already have keys for bastion & limbo.

Might give them away, or run some kind of contest.

What should I do with them?

If you're thinking of doing a contest here, maybe you should save them in case Chief has some tricks up his sleeve to boost activity. That way when you do set a contest, it'll keep newcomers around.

oohohohhooho.

I agree with Stormie.
Should check with Charles and see if he's got anything planned or whatnot and stuff.


I need to finish Bastion.
Soundtracks are a beautiful thing.
Some Bastion soundtracks make my feels hurt.

I was thinking about doing it as a programming contest, seeing if that would encourage some people to write some codes.

I feel like that would limit out too many members though.

I should just make a humble bundle thread and get it sticky'd in the gaming section.

What? You don't need my permission. Do whatever you want.

On that note, I am so psyched that I got Bastion. I already didn't mind beating the average -- and now I double don't mind. Can't wait to play it.

I saw Fez and hopped on it.

I don't think permission was what was meant o,o
More like do you have any tricks up your sleeve to increase activity you want to put into action before he rolls out a contest to reel those newcomers in?

Man, these humble bundles are just getting better and better.

bastion has always caught my eye. I'd like a review of it if you have time. I'll rep you up if you did that n_n

I didn't bother finishing it to review it, but it's worth a play. I'd watch a trailer to see the gameplay. It's pretty easy to get into. There's no complex RPG elements or anything. Real easy to learn. The narration is beautiful. The gameplay feels kind of repetitive, which is why I stopped; but I got fairly far into it before I got tired of it. Got 4 hours of gameplay out of it. I imagine most people would get more, as I have a very extensive collection of unplayed games that detract my attention. As you progress, you unlock "hard modes" which you can enable/disable at will (getting rewards for having it enabled). I think it's a very neat system that I can't believe I haven't seen utilized in other games. e.g. "Enemies have more health, do more damage, and drop more money."
