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.
