There’s only one and a half hours until Christmas Eve is here! I’m excited, are you?
Deck the halls! I already have, in lots of tinsel.
(If you’re working tomorrow, then be excited anyway! Fabulous bank holidays (or overtime) await you!)
Anyway, the reason I’m wasting your prime pre-Christmas blog surfing time is to link you across to the Humble Indie bundle – five great games, including the brilliant time-traveling platformer Braid and the gorgeous Machinarium.

If you like video games, you’ll like this – you can get 5 games, at any price you want to name, and you can choose how much of you money goes to the developers who created the games, or two charities. ‘Child’s Play‘ supply toys and games to sick kids in hospitals worldwide, while the Electronic Frontier Foundation is dedicated to defending digital rights such as free speech and privacy.
It is ‘name your own price’, though I might as well mention: anything less than $1.50 is swallowed up by Paypal and none of the charities of developers will make anything and anything more than the average price you’ll see dotted around the main page ($7.64 at the moment) will net you five extra games, including World of Goo!
A lot of the supplied games can be activated in the popular gaming distributor Steam as well. They’ve got some money-draining Christmas sales on as well.
So it’s an awesome deal, and it’s all for a good cause. I highly recommend picking it up, for some great games and warm fuzzy feelings as well.
