Hurrah! There's a new Humble Indie Bundle: seven rad independent video games for Mac/Win/Lin, no DRM, and you get to name your price, and nominate some or all of the dough for charity. The bundle's raised nearly $900,000 as of this writing, and is on path to top a million, as the previous iterations have. I love how the Humble Bundles present such a great opportunity for audiences and creators to connect directly, supporting charity and rewarding the trust and generosity of the games-makers so richly.

I'm volunteering with the Humble folks to do a Humble Ebook Bundle for the fall, and I've already got a pretty killer group of writers involved.

Seven epic games. We're ready to drop seven new cross-platform, DRM-free games down your digital chimney. Bandage your fingertips and prepare your mind for the challenges of Super Meat Boy, Shank, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, and NightSky. If you pay more than the average price, you'll also get two massive, well-loved indie favorites: Cave Story+ and Gratuitous Space Battles. Pay what you want. If you bought these games separately, it would cost around $100, but we are letting you set the price. The games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux (system requirements here). Please note that this is the initial release of seven Linux builds, so please be patient while we fix 1.0 issues as fast as we can. You can support charity. Choose exactly how your purchase is divided: between the developers, the Child's Play Charity, or the American Red Cross. Also, if you like this deal, a tip to Humble Bundle would be much appreciated!
