warcry: You can clearly see that $0.01 steam key buyers were the ones who brought down average so low in previous bundles. Now you need to pay at least $1 to get steam key and average currently is at $5.95. For past bundles average in first day was $3-4 something.
This combined with the recaptcha for orders under 1$ will hopefully cut down on the abuse that happened with some of the previous bundles. I think it's a very good move.

maycett: I just noticed that they're supporting electronic frontier foundation this time. Not really interested in the games, but I might buy just to donate. I'm glad that they're including other charities more.

Edit: apparently they've supported eff before. I've just never noticed ^_^; I guess I'm more observant of stuff like that after the whole SOPA/PIPA thing.
I think the only bundle that did not include EFF was humble bundle #4 - in that case, it was replaced by the American Red Cross.

grviper: The pie chart is going wild this time.
It's interesting to see the Mac portion is majorly trumped by Linux users this time, probably for obvious reasons..

The recaptcha has been there for a long time but it didn't cut down the abuse one bit. If anything with the Winter sale it got so out of control that asking for a minimum price was the only way to go.

Paingiver: Are they Steam only for Windows?

DodoGeo: No, you get DRM-free direct download versions and if you pay more than 1$ you also get Steam keys.
And Desura keys?

Not this time. They may add them later but don't hold your breath. The last bundle didn't have them and other one before that got a key for Blocks That Matter only if you asked support for it.
The Introversion bundle had a Desura key for all the Introversion games but it was added only because some people asked the devs on their forum to support Desura.

orcishgamer: Can't you just get one across the border here in the US? I mean, they're not exactly "free" but the lower end devices don't exactly break the bank either.
I can't use it in Mexico. :(

'Sides, who'd call me? #foreveralone

Miaghstir: That's hell of a lot better than around here though. If I didn't have a subscription with included data usage (or if I somehow use up the included 5 GB - unlikely as I'm most often between 300 and 500 MB), I'd have to pay about $2US per MB.
The 8 cents is within the plan. Once you go over it... prepare the anal lube.
I'm not familiar with the games, except World of Goo a bit. So basically, I have no idea whatsoever what I'd consider these games worth, e.g. are they around 5€ or 50€ (maybe youtube would help). If they are four simple puzzle games, I'm not ready to pay that much.

Another problem is that both "my" Android devices (tablet and phone) are unavailable for me at the moment, but I presume I can purchase the games (including the Android versions) without them...

EDIT: So when you buy the games from that site and give them your email address, what happens then? How do you download and install the Android versions on your Android devices, apparently not through Android market? When you order from that page, should you use the gmail address that you use with your Android device(s), or does it matter? Argh, a bit confusing...

Otherwise, maybe this bundle will end before I can perform the purchase through Android Market or whatever.
This bundle is just like all the previous ones so you buy directly from them not from the Android Market. You'll get Windows, Linux, and Mac versions too so you don't even need to have an Android device.
Hmm, Anomaly refuses to run on my laptop with the open-souce ATI driver, and the closed one break in interesting ways due to the horizontal resolution not being neatly divisible by 64.

Maybe I'll bother rebooting to Windows in the weekend or sometime next week.

You could pay less, then donate more when you've tried the games and found them worthy a higher price.
There's a form available to increase your donation after you've bought it.

Thanks, as long as I can later install the Android version to the device. I'll give it a try, at least World of Goo interests me (the little I know about it).

I am not familiar with the earlier Humble Bundles. :)

EDIT: Done, bought.

They also started the average higher. It began at $7 as opposed to $5 like before. So it makes sense that it's staying higher.

Isn't the starting average whatever the first buyer pays for the bundle? For example, the first buyer always gets the extra games because the average is zero; the second buyer has to beat the first; the third one has to beat the average of the first and second, and so on ad infinitum. It goes down because there are thousands of buyers and not everybody bothers to beat the average.
Maybe, I'm wrong but I haven't heard anything about a starting fixed average. It quickly decreased afterwards. When I checked the first time, the average was around $10. This was seconds after I saw the announcement on Twitter.

No Desura keys, it seems. Probably due to the fact that Desura's running the Indie Royale.

AFAIK all the Steam versions are for Windows and Mac, plus the DRM-free Windows, Mac, Linux and Android versions.

You could be right. I always assumed that they had to start it at something, so they just picked a number.
Damn new bundle and no money in CC... I really hate when that happens :D
