Humble Indie Bundle 4!

I probably should have mentioned this when it first came out, but Humble Bundle 4 is out, and it looks to be the best yet!
The deal:
Name your price to get these games:

- Jamestown (intense bullet hell action, up to four players can play local co-op)


- Bit.Trip Runner (rhythm platforming at its finest, I've talked about another in the series, Bit.Trip Beat, here, and Runner has a similar feel)


- Super Meat Boy (masochistic platforming at its finest, I've talked about it here)


- Shank (fluid 2D hacking and slashing, two player local co-op, I've talked about it here)


- NightSky HD (puzzles about a ball)

If you beat the average price ($5.27 at time of writing), then you also get these games:

- Gratuitous Space Battles (haven't had a chance to play this one yet)


- Cave Story+ (awesome action platformer with some extras added for Steam, I've talked about it here)


- Crayon Physics Deluxe (draw and physics things to get balls to stars)


- Cogs (haven't had a chance to play this one yet)


- VVVVVV (super difficult platformer where you flip gravity instead of jump, I've talked about it here)


- Hammerfight (haven't played this one yet either)


- And Yet It Moves (puzzle platformer, rotate the world to end up where you want to go, I've talked about it here)


That's 12 awesome games (and most of these really are pretty awesome, we've already talked about a good number of them here) that you can get for potentially less than $6 (don't be so stingy though, the retail value for all these games is $165 and the money you pay either goes to the developers or to charity). All of these games are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and you can even get these added to your Steam account. In addition to getting the games, you'll also get all of their soundtracks too, at no additional cost. And there's no DRM, so once you've bought it, you can install it anywhere you want. There is pretty much no reason to NOT get the humble bundle. So what are you waiting for? At time of writing, there's a bit less than 4 days left to take advantage of this amazing deal, so go go go!

Winter Break 2010-2011


Winter break has its ups and downs. On the up side, there are no classes, no homework, no exams, just relaxation (at least, so I’d like to dream; applying to internships kind of ruins the relaxation a little). On the down side, traveling to the other side of the world sucks when you’re flying economy, and what sucks even more is Chinese internet. In lieu of other internet things to distract me while I’m in China (aka Facebook and Youtube), I’ve been making my way through the plethora of indie games I have on Steam. I was going to update them all in one big chunk, but there are actually a lot, so I’ll do it a few games at a time. These are the games that I'll cover, in the order that I'll cover them:

1.       RUSH
2.       VVVVVV
3.       Super Meat Boy
4.       The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
5.       And Yet It Moves
6.       Blueberry Garden
7.       Puzzle Bots
8.       Deathspank
9.       Shatter
10.   World of Goo
11.   Toki Tori
12.   Audiosurf
13.   Windosill
14.   Shank
15.   Zen Bound 2
16.   Blue Toad Murder Files- The Mysteries of Little Riddle
17.   BIT.TRIP BEAT
18.   Machinarium
19.   AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity 
20.   Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes

So. Here we go.
