New humble bundle!

Its a bit smaller but the two Shadowgrounds games are ace, you get Trine as well, and a pre-order for another game.

Good times, no DRM crap, and you get both the mac, linux and windows versions.

As with the previous bundles, you pay whatever you want. So if you are a typical windows gamer, you can actually buy a game rather than pirating it

yeah, Im a big fan of the EFF (as a linux guy, who knew right?) and its reeeeally hard not to feel a soft spot for Childs play.

I paid well for the last 2 and will be buying this one as well.  I love that the last one, while the linux shares were overtaken by the wintendos, the average price paid by linux users held almost double what the wintendo ppl were paying

yeah, the whole crap about "linux users wont pay for games" is just that, crap.

Edit: Wintendo? Thats hilarious

So I had dug the hell out of the Shadowgrounds demo. ANd now I've been playing it two nights in a row for several hours

Couldn't find an easy way to play with a gamepad though. You can remap all the keys but apparently not the mouse aim. Too bad, I'd love to play it without being hunched over my keyboard

Trine looks really slick, though I think my video card is a bit garbage

Managed to power through both Shadowgrounds games, between the last 2 nights, and today (had the day off from work).

THe coop mode looks intriguing..

Downloads are just about done (not bothering with Mac versions)
Looking at some youtube clips of Shadowgrounds..  Nice..
Has a real Alien Breed (NOT 3D) feel to it..  Looks like fun.

yeah, its very much a modern alien breed. The cut scenes and dialogue are a bit weak, but the gameplay is really fun.
Survivor is probably the better of the two, with more features and some nice levels, but the first one is absolutely worth playing.

Hm. I have a G100 which is pretty shite, but it will run shadowgrounds, if not terribly well.
I guess integrated laptop cards are bad news
