You can buy this for Mark of the Ninja alone - it is gameplay-wise really great and a very artistic game.
Oh my god yes, so excited Mark of the Ninja is included.

#22At last - Trine 2 is DRM free.
Huh? I got it back in April from the official site, I believe, and it was DRM-free.
Was it? May be I missed that.
UPDATE: I actually bought it for the Linux version now, and I had no idea it became DRM free earlier. In the past it was DRMed. HB writes however:

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Indeed, it's a simple and challenging little sucker, too. But a word of warning: It will make you feel like you're doing well for a while, then curbstomp you with zero warning. There's no saving/loading, and if you die, you start back at square 1. It definitely feels awesome if/when you finally beat it, but be careful with this game if you tend to throw things when angered.
You have to approach it as a roguelike, which does the same thing to you (way more deaths than successes). But I loved it. Played it many many times, but only won it twice I believe. For some of the unlockables I'd recommend looking at a walkthrough; for one of them at least I believe I decided to not pursue it since it would require too much random chance hitting all the right spots in the right order.
You totally can get good at it, it's a skill like any other. I've won like 40 games out of 200 or so, and I'd say that I win about half of my games I decide to play past the first sector.
You just have to have a good feel for progression. Always fight as many ships as possible, and only leave the sector when the rebel fleet is riding your ass. Know which weapons, events, and upgrades are good, and roughly what order in which to get them.
I have played over 100 hours of FTL. Help me.

#24Holy...moly. As a Mac gamer, I've been waiting forever for Mark of the Ninja and Fez. AFAIK, they've not yet been previously released, so is this an exclusive for Humble Bundle? If so, what a huge scoop. If I were those developers, I would've hawked the games on Steam for a couple of weeks...as Mac fans like me would've happily paid full price.
edit: The average purchase so far is $4.37...seriously? Given the caliber of games included, and that this is the first bundle (I think) since the Edward Snowden revelations, this is a great excuse to give a large donation to the EFF.

#25I've slowly been transitioning to Linux-only gaming, because the whole reboot-into-Windows just to play is a pretty steep bar. (Steeper than it even sounds in practice, as now, basically, every time I boot into Windows I have to spend about 10 minutes updating the damn thing, because I don't do it often enough; this has become a vicious cycle.) This bundle is great for that, with all the Linux debuts. Linux gaming is…
I have also been doing more gaming in Linux recently. I only have a windows partition for Starcraft 2 and League of Legends. If blizzard ever gets on board the linux bandwagon, I won't need a windows partition :-D.

#26Gotta say I'm really impressed with the Humble Bundles. I buy most of them, and still can't believe how cheap they are, assuming you get in early.
Their "unlock more products by paying more than the average" is sheer genius. Most people will pay just a hair over the average, which causes the price to creep up as the bundle gets older. So to get the best deal, you have to buy in early.
I don't know of any other bundle products out there (MacHeist, MacLegion, Paddle, etc) that even comes close anymore.

#27Why does every bundle get upvoted to the top every time? I love Humble Bundle, I have bought a majority of the ones they release - but this is no longer news, it's their business model. If they were doing something new (like the introduction of the eBook or comedy bundle) then I can see it being interesting. Now it's no different then if every new AirBNB listing were upvoted to the front page.

I think most people already own most of the games in the bundle (like myself), since they've all been popular, widely available and have had several sales.

I find that sc2 runs reasonably well in wine.

SC2 works perfectly fine on Gnu/Linux with wine.

I don't know about LoL but you might want to give SC2 a try on wine if you haven't already.
