I lost interest to HB.. I track them, but every time they mostly sell Steam-keys. They are like Humble Steam-shop for me now : /
Just my opinion.

Tallima: How do these audiobooks work? I'm not smart on these things.

Do I burn a CD with wma files or something?

maz.588: They are in mp3 format. You should be able to play them on anything that is mp3 compatible.

If you want to use them as CD-Audio, you will need to burn them as « audio » and not as « data ». All burning software should have that option. Remember though that CD-Audio are 80 minutes long at most.
My car plays MP3 and WMA off of a CD, so I think that will work. I think this bundle may be my birthday gift. I could make work trips more fun!

Neil Gaiman tweeted last week:

PSST. There's a Humble Bundle that'll be happening for charity, with all the rarities & weirdnesses of my career in it. Be on the look out.
and he has confirmed in his blog that this will happen on September.

Just thought I'd post it here.

Thanks for sharing!

Well, his career is full of rarities & weirdnesses, so I don't know what to expect. Maybe his less popular works? But I am pretty sure it won't contain a single Sandman issue. :(

high rated
This Gaiman racket appears to be popular but totally not for me. You kids have fun.

(Though I may pwiw sometime in the coming weeks.)

Dang, right now the BTA is higher than the fixed price on the highest tier ($16.23 vs $15).
Posted September 09, 2015
Meh, I'll probably get this but it seems less epic than a Neil Gaiman bundle should be... mostly b-sides and archive rarities without a lot of intrinsic appeal outside of Gaiman's celebrity status. Am I overlooking some awesome gem?

Very odd about the way high BTA.

I wonder what will happen if you pay "only" $15.

I'm not really interested in Neil Gaiman tidbits, although I like him as a writer.

Was there a book bundle that included Steam keys?

They are usually DRMed, Steam, Ubiplay, Amazon. Remember their history?
"Humble Indie Bundle: DRM free, supports charity"

First, "Indie" left. Okay, it was acceptable..
Then "DRM free" left". That was much less acceptable. This is why people turn to GOG.
"Humble" thing - its segmented. They expect people to pay more than average to get half, and more than declared amount to get full of it. Sometimes, they demand over $200 for the bundle. Interestingly, I tracked some of their pricing, and it turned out that sometimes, purchasing elsewhere actually cost less than via HB. Like it was with Borderlands 2. So, "Humble"? For me, not.
So there is only "Charity" left in their slogan, but already today their interpretation of charity is very vague.

Its just "Bundle" now.

The Valiant comic bundle last year included a Steam key for the Shadowman game.

All the books, comics, audiobooks until now have been DRM free, far as I remember. This is a thread about the book bundle, in case you haven't noticed. I think you're talking about games.
