Is anyone else not tipping the Humble team anymore? Are you just splitting payment between devs and charities?
Why did they drop EFF from the charities? :(

I agree. I used to get really excited about the humble bundle. They had a few noteworthy games per bundle (All the games they have are good, but some are less known than others). Now that it's a monthly affair I get the initial perception that the bundles have less noteworthy games and that I'm getting tired of so many of them. After a bit of thought I realize I /am/ paying just a few bucks for a lot of games and hel…
Humble bundles are now back to back. Indie Royal is every 2 weeks, and 2-3 other copy-cat bundles come out pretty often too. Also, I don't know how often steam sales happen, but every time I go online there is one going on (~50-90% off kind of sales).
That said, if this turns into a never ending string, the amount I contribute towards each bundle would likely drop since frequency would be going up.
Probably something for the Humble folks to investigate - which performs better - more frequent small bundles or less frequent larger bundles.
A good friend of mine wrote Jamestown- kick ass game, and way to go!
I just bought this one but wasn't there another bundle just last week? I wonder if too many too soon will lead to bundle fatigue

Jamestown is a completely awesome arcade-style danmaku shooter inspired by CAVE games and Touhou -- but unlike some recent poor attempts to emulate these styles (e.g. Deathsmiles), it adds loads of creativity of its own, like its so-absurd-it's-hilarious storyline and setting. It was worth every cent on launch, and now you can get it for way less with a half dozen other games included.
This might be the best Humble Bundle yet just because of these two.

If you've never played it, Cave Story is one of the best platformers ever, and you must play it if you are a gamer in any sense. The original is available for free (though you might have to English-patch it), but I gather CS+ is a pretty good port.
