Bought it, even though I only really kinda wanted Bastion but it's for charity so yeah I'll buy.
Humble Indie Bundle 5 Is Objectively The Best Thing

Yeah, definitely the best thing. Presumably it's even better if your computer can actually run any of the damn things... Why the hell does Bastion even need ultra-pixel-mebobber-70-billion-or-whatever-it-is anyway? Isn't it completely sprite based and 2D?
Ah well, in a decade or two I'll finally upgrade to a 21st century computer and get to play these games. It's not like I paid full price for them, so I can't complain too much.

I would buy it just for Bastion.
Unfortunately, I don't have even 1$ on my credit card, not to speak about 7 or more what is needed now.
I bought a new graphics card few days ago and now I'm broke.

Personal #Opinion and food for thought incoming!
This is the first humblebundle I've bought, on a computer that can't handle it, because I was tempted by Amnesia but didn't want to pay so much for it standalone.
I wasn't a fan of the Bastion demo. Limbo and Psychonauts never interested me and I've never heard of Swords and Sorcery.
Now I'll have to try to squeeze the processing power out of my computer to play them. I'm not even sure if I have the right shader model on my GFX any more (DX9, ShaderM4). But hey, I have a chance to play Amnesia and try out 3 games I don't know much about! xD
I paid $12, $5 more than the average - Is that okay?
$2 for Humble, $4 for Child's Play Charity and $6 for the devs to split. That's all for games I would never have bought otherwise (well, maaaaybe Amnesia in a year or two).
I feel pretty good for it, regardless.
So, yeah - even if they don't work for me until I get a new computer over the next year, I hope the $4 helps allow some kid trapped in hospital to experience a gaming as we do, the $6 for a member of one of the dev's to work on their next game for an hour and the $2 to go towards sealing more humble bundles for everyone else in the future, as I doubt I'll buy another one (such games aren't really my thing).
Humble Bundles are a great thing, for everyone involved in any way.
PS: I can't believe the average for this is $7ish still. I'm a Brit and I was thinking it was £7 average for a long while, and that was quite cheap too!
So I jacked it up to $12, technically about £8. I was tempted to go higher but I am incredibly strapped for cash and I have a lot of work to do in the next 2 weeks.

What's up with the Sworcery hate?
I thought it was a pretty cool game. Haven't played it on the PC yet and I didn't get far on my old iPod Touch because... well, it's hard to get into a smartphone game like that. But the soundtrack is awesome and what I played was pretty good. Certainly seems worthy of mention here...

Curse you Steam, you were planning on taunting us, weren't you?!
I'm definitely going to buy the bundle, though.
Humble Bundle 5 is the worst thing ever! I already have Amnesia so I am not getting my full money's worth!

Yeah, Bastion, Limbo, Sword and Sorcery and Psychonauts for under 10 bucks is amazing!

Those are all awesome games. Too bad I already own all of them. But anyone that doesn't own all of them should definitely jump on that. Especially for Bastion. That game is amazing. Bought it for 20 bucks when it came out and it was worth every penny. Bought the soundtrack too.
It's worth it just for Bastion (which is such a unique game in the way that it is "told" as opposed to how it plays), the narrator seriously just makes the entire game worth it alone.
I already had Bastion but bought the bundle anyway for $20 because I feel people really should support such awesome deals/charity bundles like this.
Don't know if im going to dare play Amnesia, because I'm a jumpy person as it is and get the shit scared out of me by mild jump scares in any game, let alone a whole game based on that sort of stuff. Maybe I'll do it for the purpose of making my friends laugh.
Edit: And soundtracks people! I can vouch for the Bastion soundtrack being absolutely an amazing bonus with this bundle.

I already have Amnesia, Limbo, and Psychonauts (PS2). Those three games are incredible
I'm dying to play Bastion, but then I looked at the upcoming game release schedule, summer plans, and the 400 bucks I need to pay towards my registration crap. My friend doesn't have a credit card and is begging me to gift it to her (she doesn't care much for Bastion, so she'll live without it. Pfft, her loss). I REALLY want Bastion and I'm willing to pay the 8 or so in order to get it (since that's just over 50% off). Does anyone know if we can break the bundle so I can give her the games I already own and hog Bastion all to myself? This is my first Humble Bundle and I really want to give SOMETHING.
EDIT: Scratch that. Seems like sharing it with a friend (...and only one friend) seems too close to pirating on second glance.

Previous humble bundles have had their Steam keys broken up before. I gave a buddy of mine the Trine/Shadowgrounds code because I already had all the games connected to that code and nothing happened when I tried entering it anyway. Odds are Bastion gets its own code because not everyone will get it. Someone else will have to verify though.Raggedstar said:
