Jeez, they added this for free? I may have to buy another bundle just to support this idea.

Watching the real time counters, it's disgusting the number of people that are paying a penny or nickle for this.
I saw a link on another site to a guy selling the bundles on ebay...yes people are douches.

I was wondering when they were going to do this:

Bundle in a bundle!
Humble Indie Bundle 3 now includes the five games from Humble Indie Bundle 2!


If you've already bought Humble Indie Bundle 3 before 10:30 AM PST this morning, just go to your download page and they will show up next to your other five games.

If you haven't picked up your bundle yet, be sure to pay what you'd like for a bundle of five awesome DRM-free games on Mac, Windows, and Linux: Crayon Physics Deluxe, Hammerfight, VVVVVV, And Yet It Moves, and Cogs. To get the five Humble Indie Bundle 2 games, you must choose a price that is somewhere above the average payment (more details on the site).

I wonder if they're going to add all the games from bundle 1 in a few days too. :p

Ugh, I just got to try out these games.. they really weren't worth it.

You must have paid a lot then. I only played hammerfight, Crayon Physics, and And Yet It Moves. I felt like I got my $10 worth. Hammerfight needs a tighter control system, but that's also part of the game. And Yet It Moves is a neat idea, it's just easy to get disoriented so it could really use a goal marker or compass. Still pretty entertaining though. Crayon Physics is something people have probably played with in similar flash games, but it's still well done.

Cogs is one that looks better than the rest, but I haven't tried it yet.

I saw that e-mail and thought "Oh cool, but I actually bought Bundle 2 when it came out". Then I looked at the games and none of them are familiar. Apparently it was Bundle 1 that I bought and I missed it when they had 2. So now I have all of them :D

I looked at the original HIB3 games and wasn't all that interested but since they've added bundle 2, I may donate some cash to pick these games up.

Regarding the Humble Bumble 2 addition, I looked to see if they added those to my Steam account like the other game they added and they didn't. I went to the Humble Bundle 3 website and see that you have to pay more than the average, but I did when I purchased the Bundle.

So I went to my key page and I see that I can download and play Bundle 2 games, but the button to get a key to add them to Steam doesn't work. I hope they fix that so that those of us who paid more than the average before this offer was made can add the Bundle 2 games to Steam as well.

Please expand, none of the six games did anything for you?

How much were they "not worth" to you?
Nope, I feel that they are pretty terrible, I tried each for a few minutes and I proceeded to uninstall them. I didn't pay much for them $5 or so.

My mistake, I didn't click the right button when looking to get a Steam key for Bundle 2. It's really hard moving the mouse cursor over the correct on screen button and than having to click the mouse all at the same time. Very confusing.

I haven't tried the others, but Cogs is pretty cool, I've wanted to pick it up for quite some time.

Of the the Indie 2 Bundle, I have Machinarium but haven't finished it yet, but it's definitely a goodie too.

I hear Braid is highly rated as well, but just haven't had the time to load it (or the others) up yet.

Well worth whatever you pay for these + + + + +

Cmon you windows gamers, stop being cheap.

Humble Bumble Purchases said:

Average purchase: $5.20
Average Windows: $4.25
Average Mac: $7.00
Average Linux: $11.74


Oh and to get the HB2, you need to spend MORE than the average which currently is $5.20 as you can see.

They may have changed it, but I can most definitely say this is absolutely NOT the case. I cheaped out on the "second" bundle I bought and paid below average. I just logged in and was able to retrieve a steam key for bundle #2 and added it to my second steam account.

(Before you all jump all over me - I bought 2 bundles, the first one for my use at a decent 'donation', the second for my kids' steam account. They explicitly state with the bundles there's no DRM and make it a point that you can install as many copies as you like, so I felt I was 'donating' simply for a second steam key, and then a bit. Not to mention I've 'donated' to all three bundles individually... my conscience is obviously conflicted since I took the time to type this...)

The email I got with the 3rd one specifically states that to get the 2nd one "free" you need to have a higher than average donation. I don't know how it worked with the 2nd one and getting the 1st one free, as I randomly got the 1st pack free weeks after the fact. I probably paid above the average both times so hard to say.

But, the current deal is absolutely above the average.

If you bought the bundle before they added #2, you got #2 for free regardless of what you paid.

That would make sense, which is probably why I was able to do this.

Speaking of... you made me wonder, so I went back to my records... found where I bought bundle #2... and added the steam key for bundle #1 that I got with bundle #2 to my kids' steam account as well (since I bought/added #1 on its own to my account).
