The Humble Indie Bundles
Hey everyone, just wanted to throw some quick indie game news at ya.
Many of you are probably familiar with The "Humble Indie Bundle" from last May.
For the uninitiated, it was a collection of indie games: Gish, Aquaria, Lugaru HD, World of Goo, and Penumbra Overture. You could name essentially any price, and receive a full, downloadable, DRM-free, (and in some cases open-source) copy of all of those games, and the money went to the Childs Play charity, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF.org), and to the developers who contributed their games for the event.
Now for the news: All of the games from the Humble Bundle event can be linked to your Steam account, with a key from an email you should have received if you contributed.
Also, there appears to be a Humble Bundle 2 in the works. You can go to this page and give your email address to be informed when this new bundle event will be starting. I encourage any of you with credit cards to give whatever you can to this event when it takes place. You get quite a lot of "bang" for whatever amount of "buck" you choose to spend, and the money goes to good causes.

So far so good with SMB
Aside from a few angry viewers who seem to have only subscribed to me for Minecraft, and are too focused on that game to enjoy anything else I post... and aside from a few Framerate problems that I have only partially resolved, Super Meat Boy seems to have been well-received, and very fun to LP so far.
The truth is, it might be quite a long time before I go back to making any Minecraft videos. I know that I haven't really done any Nether stuff in the LP, but if that's the only fresh content that I can think of recording for it, that's not enough incentive for me to even bother playing Single Player, let alone going through the hassle of recording it, editing it, rendering it, and uploading it. I'm happy with my new project at the moment.
If you're one of the people who doesn't like the new content, then don't watch it, and don't complain about it. I've recorded many games before Minecraft, and I will continue to record whichever games I please, for however long I please.. and if I'm bored with a game (like Minecraft) then I won't make videos of it just because some people think I should. The videos would not be very interesting anyway, if I'm doing something that I am not having fun doing, so I don't know why some of you are begging so much for it, when I am clearly sick and tired of it.
