There's also the Zelda Wind Waker HD version, which is a must buy if you never got to play Wind waker on gamecube.

fbueckert

@RedRiderX The Humble crew is, sadly, no longer indie.

Ben Brocka

Yeah, if you're considering the Wii U I'd get that Windwaker HD bundle

The zelda themed gamepad looks cool

And it's the same price as the normal Deluxe

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka You can get skins for gamestick controllers

Ben Brocka

Don't know if it has Nintendoland like the normal Deluxe though

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Let me just ask ... Is the Gamestick at all relevant in this discussion?

GnomeSlice

19:01

@fbueckert That's what the humble indie bundle is for.

@FEichinger Yes.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Also no longer Humble/

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Well, it's still in their name.

FEichinger

@Wipqozn Meh, depending on how you look at it they have never been all that humble.

GnomeSlice

I wonder how big the downloads are.

3ventic

@RedRiderX Comedy includes joking, so it kind of is a big joke.

OrigamiRobot

19:04

@fbueckert Louis CK actually self publishes his albums IIRC. That's "indie"

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot He, himself, is indie. The crew at the Humble Bundle are not.

GnomeSlice

fuck new indie boobs game

@fbueckert so?

OrigamiRobot

Also, that Tig Notaro show is great and everyone should listen to it.

Sterno

I don't like comedians that anyone else likes. People telling me someone is funny immediately makes me not find them funny.

@OrigamiRobot SO YOU JUST RUINED IT FOREVER. THANKS A LOT

This guy is terrible

OrigamiRobot

She basically comes out and is like "I just found out I have breast cancer and didn't want to do this show, but fuck it let's talk about that."

@fbueckert Were they ever?

RedRiderX

@RedRiderX If I'm totally honest, it's very interesting to see them diversifying and growing out into other media forms, where PWYW is less common. It just feels like they are letting down their original audience. Though it does seems like they have their sights set far higher then just being a game distribution platform.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot They were originally known as the Humble Indie Bundle, no?

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert That's the name of their bundles.

The company is just 'Humble' like the Humble Store.

fbueckert

Which is why there was such significant backlash when they offered THQ games as a bundle.

OrigamiRobot

"Indie" is just a buzzword anyway.

GnomeSlice

19:08

@fbueckert The origin bundle made like a million dollars, so I don't think the complaining really meant anything

3ventic

Indie has lost a lot of its original weight.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice ~$10 million.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX whoa

Grace Note

I wonder if the indie film industry is still rather static in its meaning compared to our indie game industry.

Mad Scientist

The other bundles are not called "indie", and from what I've read those are in addition to the indie bundles, and not a replacement. I'm okay with that

RedRiderX

19:10

@RedRiderX I guess they've now distributed books, movies, music, and games.

So it seems like they not only want to perpetuate the PWYW model, they want to become a major actor of the model for all media types, I guess.

FEichinger

@GraceNote We have a problem even properly defining the word - and keeping it from being misused for BUZZWORDSBUZZWORDSBUZZWORDS.

Fluttershy

Anyone else super excited for the movie 'Gravity'?

FEichinger

So, at best, we just aren't there yet.

Mad Scientist

The ebook bundle finally got me to start reading the Vorkosigan saga, I think the branching out is quite interesting (though I'm not in the least interested in the comedy bundle)

FEichinger

At worst, we are the only creative industry that managed to ruin a simple term like "indie".

GnomeSlice

19:12

Why are indie games suddenly ruined?

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy No, not at all.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Read again.

"Indie" is just a buzzword anyway.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot D: Why not!?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Says who?

OrigamiRobot

19:13

@Fluttershy Because they showed the premise and the best parts i the trailer. I don't wanna watch an hour and a half of that. Seems like it'd be an amazing short film, though.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice That's... kinda been what Origami, FEichinger, and I have all been referring to from within the discussion about the naming of the Humble Indie Bundle.

Q: What are main reasons for not connecting?

I can't connect to many of my friends yet they can connect to me. What are the main reasons for people not being able to connect? Is it something to do with my Firewall? My Internet Firewall is low and I'm pretty sure my PC Firewall accepts the program.

On a related note, a new Story Bundle is out.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote I thought someone was complaining that not all of their bundles are 'indie'?

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice What does indie mean?

3ventic

19:14

@OrigamiRobot I'll put that the test now. Got gifted the bundle.

Grace Note

@Lazers That person passes a fair resemblance to our fair @TimStone.

@GnomeSlice Someone was. We went to our own tangent.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot It's already generating some pretty impressive Oscar buzz! :3

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote so much fair

FEichinger

@GraceNote We're good at this tangent stuff ... Not so much at the topic stuff.

OrigamiRobot

@3ventic It is probably the best show I've ever heard. Not just funny, but moving.

Grace Note

19:15

Mostly on the subject of whether or not we can really classify there being "indie" bundles because the term is very muddied and unclear because buzzword.

Grace Note

@FEichinger Hey, tangents are cool and important. After all, at their core, a tangent is defined by having a point.

FEichinger

@GraceNote Touché.

RedRiderX

@tugs Heh, I had forgotten about this.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Have I ever told you that I love you?

FEichinger

19:17

The Robot has feelings beyond hatred ... We are doomed.

Sterno

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger Well, technically speaking it's just the smallest amount of hate I am capable of outputting, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot Oh, okay, then my mind is at ease.

OrigamiRobot

When I say "I love you" it's just a more comforting way of saying "I hate you the least."

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot So far, apparently no, you've declared your romantic interest in most of our regulars but especially @Wipqozn and @GnomeSlice.

GnomeSlice

19:20

@GraceNote I don't remember this.

Grace Note

The most I've gotten is broad-spectrum "I LOVE YOU ALL" and one instance where you're unsure whether you love or hate me.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Was that in response to a pun?

Grace Note

Anyway, who am I kidding. There really aren't any cliffs in Singapore. The highest point is on a hill around 420m above sea level.

@PrivatePansy That seems to be... high.

OrigamiRobot

Ah, yes.

I love to hate you.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I hate to love you.

19:21

@GnomeSlice I just regular hate you.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Thanks, I think.

OrigamiRobot

I hate Andy Samberg the most.

@OrigamiRobot Ugh, that's just wrong.

I wish I could go back in time and flag that.

While not being banned.

I should have made a sockpuppet for starring and flagging stuff while I was gone.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice You wish you could flag that? You, who posts pictures of half naked women all the time?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Well it's more natural than cartoon pony asses

And no I don't.

Not any more.

When is the last time I did that.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice And that makes it better ... how exactly?

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice The time you posted a skullgirls gif, which I warned you about. You later thanked me by flagging one of my posts and getting me suspended.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I did?

Also everyone was talking about skullgirls

OrigamiRobot

19:30

@GnomeSlice Yes, the cicada.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Oh, that was fucking gross

Didn't I apologize

For flagging

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice So was the sloth @StrixVaria pinged me with.

GnomeSlice

You should have flagged it

FEichinger

Obligatory sloth:

Should I flag that, @GnomeSlice?

Ben Brocka

Ullallulloo

@OrigamiRobot It would be fine to.

OrigamiRobot

No, it wouldn't.

Taking away someone's ability to chat with everyone is not the proper response to me being personally offended.

It has RyeFi

Krazer

@BenBrocka is that kosher?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot It is when someone curses, apparently.

@OrigamiRobot Also I apologized for flagging your gross bug thing.

I can apologize again if you want.

I freaked out and flagged it.

And it was dumb.

I'm dumb.

OrigamiRobot

I don't care about apologies.

My feelings are not dependent on whether or not you feel bad.

Ben Brocka

My feelings are entirely dependent on the suffering of others

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Are your feelings hurt?

Because you are my friend.

And I don't want that.

Wipqozn
