Introducing the Humble Store. Now with bargains and a bit of charity...

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

Seems like the people at the Humble Bundle have come up with another way of trying to access my wallet. There now is a Humble Store where they sell a few games at a discount for a short time (right now there's about 17 hours left one this one). 10% of the proceeds go to charity, some games are DRM free and cross platform.

Presently they're selling:

Prison Architect Alpha - Steam, DRM-free download, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux $14.99
Rogue Legacy - Steam, DRM-free download, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux $7.49
Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Steam, Windows, Linux $6.25
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - Steam, Windows $6.25
Don't Starve - Steam, DRM-free download, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux $7.49
Gunpoint - Steam, DRM-free download, Windows $4.99
The Swapper - Steam, DRM-free download, Windows $4.99
Natural Selection 2 - Steam, Windows, Linux $6.25
Orcs Must Die! 2 - Complete - Steam, Windows $6.25

I picked up The Swapper and Gunpoint.

Prison Architect is good (if you like that sort of game); it is made by Introversion, who also made Darwinia and Uplink, two games that I love. It's still in alpha though, but it is playable and keeps getting updated.
And Euro Truck Simulator is very addictive. I picked it up in last summer's Steam sale on a whim and have been driving all over Europe since. They need to extend the map of Italy down to Tuscany because I want to put my trucking company's headquarters in my home town!

1. Between HB and Kickstarter...

I'm trying to be good, really. Luckily for me, Kerbal Space Program is eating all my cpu cycles right now, so there's less pressure on that front. Then there's GMT Games having a 50% off sale for the next few days (I picked up Bloody April, 1917: Air War Over Arras, France. Labyrinth and Son of York).

As for Kickstarter one closes and one arrives. Mars Attacks! - The Miniatures Game just funded. Looks like fun and if the system isn't that great, I have uses for the figures. On Saturday, the FedEx truck dropped off my copy of Ogre: the Designers Edition. One year late, and about 10 pounds over weight. But the box is just packed with awesome. The pocket edition was my first war game, and I have a soft spot. The pocket edition is going to be re-released at the 1977 price of $2.95.

Oh, then the boardgamegeek secret Santa program is just about to start. That sound you hear is the debit card weeping.
