"Humble Indie Bundle" Lets You Pay What You Want, Supports Charity

The Humble Indie Bundle is a new program that allows you to name your price on $80 worth of indie games. For whatever you wish to contribute, you can play World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra Overture. All proceeds can go 100% to the developers or a charity, but you can also split it evenly between the two. Participating charities include Child's Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

If you're into indie games, this might be a good way to show your appreciation to the developers and help out a good cause at the same time. At the very least, you can watch this video:

ok i'll donate... guess I should've watched the video instead of just reading before I commented =P

Colton you get all those games above, and choose yourself what you want to pay, and if that money goes to the developers or charity or both. The main thing is you can pay .01 cents, 5 bucks, or 80 which is what it's really worth. You choose what you pay.

Im starting to think Dan being banned from the vault is a bad idea, all he does is give us crap storys now, Im not saying this isnt a good thing right here though.

Really? Then why would you say that on this story? That is really pathetic thing for you to say. How sad...This is a great story, I am really glad that they are doing this.

Love bundles like these because it allows me to give back. Those are great charities, though I support Child's Play more.
