    Why would it be bad if SMB is included?

    Because.... you must have not played it (and tried to beat it w/ perfect)

    When I got done w/ super meat boy my thumb had evolved to have armor plating and I was a certified anger management instructor.

    Ironic because they Red Cross Claims Violent Video Games May Violate International Human Rights Law.

    The only game that I really want is the Space Battles and yet it is one of the bonuses. Sigh.

    Now I've noticed that most of the indie games in the humble bundles are pretty old (or at least relatively so) and for good reason.

    Does anyone know of a site that lists newly released indie games or upcoming ones as they don't get as much attention as big publishers.

    oh...well...*owns most of the main games*

    but hey $5 for cave story+, nightsky, and I guess gratuitously never played space battles is good enough for me.

    I been wanting James Town, Bit Trip Runner, and Cave Story so this is one great indie bundle! And I already own the rest, this is a great lineup I recommend it to all. Also, they all can be activated on your steam account!

    Did they charge you or anything? If not just do it again because it should take you to amazon login page where you have to enter your password. Do you have pop up blocker or ad block on or something?

    I did enter my password and confirm later... then it throws me to that page. Anyway, as no amazon mail was delivered, I did it all again and this time amazon payment mail arrives (but no humble bundle)

    With Cave Story+ (had my eye on it for a while), Night Sky, and Jamestown (not to mention the rest of the bundle), I went out of my way to give this one a go - had to get my sister to buy it for me because China blocks appspot and all three payment options go through it.

    I guess I'll have to send her some tea for Christmas now...

    Wow! For me this is the best one yet. The last bundle had a couple games I ended up liking, but this one is full of games that look really good.

    Are you actually in Afghanistan or in the US right now? If you're in Afghanistan, the appspot issues I'm having in China might be due to region locking rather than the GFW. If you can't buy it on a friend's computer either, I'd recommend having someone back home gift it to you.

    I kinda screwed myself on this one.

    I already owned SMB, Shank, and half the other games. I saw one game that really caught my attention and that was Jamestown I saw it as a cool SHMUPS title and it said 4 player multiplayer.

    I thought it was online multiplayer and snapped it up right away only to find that its local multiplayer and thus the game is virtually useless to me :( and it has no options for configuration of controls and nothing else to really make it stand out.

    I'll maybe still play it some but bleh I feel ripped off lol.

    I paid more than average since the cave fighter game looked interesting so maybe I will enjoy that one.

    Although I'm getting a bit tired of having one humble bundle per month.... SMB, Beat Trip Runner, and Shank are good titles hard to pass... :D

    Wanted to like Cave Story, but the camera is too disorienting to me.
