The Indie Bundle Mega Thread

The only charity I give money to is for my car insurrance.

As long as EA doesn't get any money, I think I'm okay with this. I usually gave most of my dough to the ESA too though, since I know they do some actual work.
Most of these "charities" are usually not what they appear though, any idea/details which of them do proper work?

charitywatch.org occasionally publishes ratings based on "percentage to cause." I think it's fair to say the ones you've heard of spend a good percentage on marketing.

Well, after only cursory glance, both the "Human Rights Campaign" and the "San Francisco AIDS Foundation" seem to be US-based LGBT/gay rights groups: http://www.sfaf.org/hiv-info/hot-topics/from-the-experts/how-marriage-equality-fights-hiv.html
And the "American Cancer Society" seems to rather pay their CEOs: http://www.forbes.com/sites/investo...lar-nonprofit-ceo-salary-as-bad-as-it-sounds/

[Hoaxmetal]

So, American Cancer Society seems to be the clear choice.

 

[Metro]

I gave to the homos just to piss you all off~

 

[kazgar]

I just gave all the money to the humble store, because having to deal with EA on any business level must be fucking annoying so they deserve it the most.

Also, $1 for a couple of steam games is ok, gonna pop some moles.

The defense for this is usually that you literally can't hire a CEO in America for less.

In need of some more space magic - which games are going to be in the origin bundle next week?

 

[Bruticis]

Really? People need a breakdown on all these fucking obscure charities when paying a buck?! Just randomly pick something and get your keys. Protip, your one dollar isn't going to do jack shit. Somehow i bet you'll still be able to look at yourself in the mirror knowing faggots in San Fransisco just got 03 cents from your transaction.

Total payments:
$3,560,974.97
Number of purchases:
751,360


So three and a half million of dollars means nothing at all?

You donated 3.5 million dollars, did you?

Some of the big are also just huge because they've been around for so long and idiots just don't know others exist. This then leads to the problem of the larger ones "taking" donations (i.e. because people onated X money to charity Y they feel they don't need to donate to charity Z) from smaller ones with less funded causes that actually could use the money more.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Bonus shit incoming. Big bundle with turd bonus pack.

Especially MoH:A. Not only (obligatory) shitty sequel of the sequel but also with lovely ss-terminators, walking rape machines.
FFS

 

[Alchemist]

Well at least they aren't going to troll us and put Aliens: Colonial Marines in there.

 

[tuluse]

That's SEGA.

 

[Alchemist]

That's SEGA.

Oops, yeah you're right - I saw it being sold on Origin and mistakenly thought it was an EA game. We're safe!

 

[A user named cat]

What about Crysis 1, dammit? It's still a good benchmarking tool after mods, looks amazing and is fun to mess around in once in a while. Guess I'll have to hold onto pirated version. Will probably never install Cry2 because it looked boring as hell.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Same to me - Crysis is most boring pile of dirt in first person perspective I've ever played.Saw Crysis 2, 13GB to download? nope
It have similiar problem to Bulletstorm - pure shooting is boring like hell, only tricks save it from throwing to trash bin with leash powered by enhanced fist.

Another Groupees Build a Meridian4 Bundle, with an even bigger bucket-load of games to choose from this time. Glad they dug out Rhiannon.
Current minimum of three games for $1. First bonus is Space Trader: Merchant Marine.

 

[Metro]

Penguins Arena = new CDS OFFICIAL multiplayer game? Only one I somewhat want is the Specforce + Chrome pair. Maybe I'll wait and see if they do a one-of day so I can save my precious sixty cents rather than waste it on shit like Grotesque Tactics.

 

[Overboard]

Groupees has the Be Mine 9 bundle available now, some good games within:

$1 tier:
The Whispered Word
Mini Motor Racing Evo
Splatter
Depths of Peril
+Particulars

$5 tier:
Eador Genesis & MotBW + Soundtrack
Ittle Dew + Soundtrack
Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can + Soundtrack
Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages + Soundtrack + Novel

So I finally got around to playing Risen after getting it in the DS bundle.

How do I switch the VA to the German originals?

If you got it on Steam, try right-clicking the game --> Properties --> Language and switch to German.

Alternatively try changing the values in Risen/data/ini/ConfigDefault.xml for VoiceLanguage and/or SubtitleLanguage

 

[deuxhero]

I think it's a combination of those two (select German to DL the German files, then do that after turning back) Thanks.

 

[FuelBlooded]

The Origin bundle still hasn't added new games. Strange.
