(New) Humble Indie Bundle - Pay what you want for 5 games

There's a new Humble Indie Bundle that just launched today. This one seems to have come from one single developer, Frozenbyte but seems like a really great way to get some cheap games, support the developer and donate to charity while you're at it.

The games in the bundle are

Trine,
Shadowgrounds
Shadowgrounds: Survivor, and
A preorder for Splot and a prototype with source code for Jack Claw.

The games are eligible for registration with Steam, Desura and are cross platform and can run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

What more could you want?

Already own Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds survivor... They're great games (Alien Breed kind of deelio), but not exactly recent!
Still, for $10 (or whatever the hell you want to pay!) you can't complain:)

One of them is 1GB! These indie games are growing! I think I'll try the torrent option this time.*

*The official torrents, that is!

That's the main reason I got it. Then I saw the trailers for the shadowgrounds games. They look like a lot of fun.

I always regret not getting the last bundle that had MAchinarium. I didn't have enough money on my credit card to purchase.

(I guess I could've paid 1c but that's bad out on the charities and developers)

3rd. Bundle.

Never felt cheated or let down buying a bundle. Shadowgrounds looks very polished, nice to get the 'extra pack\sequel' thrown in.

All new to me. Great.

It's still a bargain for ~ $5.

You're just probably costing them more than what you're paying them and being a drain on the system. If more people did that, it would be unsustainable.

Well done, you got your bargain. I don't think there's a justification for exploiting a good cause though.

If you really want you can put down 0. But, that's a bit stingy.
