humble bundle (monthly ed.)

thoughts? not for me i don't believe. although i must say, i was tempted w/Legend of Grimrock. but ultimately, i found the charity% structure to be a little odd, especially in contrast to that of the bundle we've grown accustomed to. i'm not feeling too bad now though anymore however, after having seen the release.

I've done a lot of Humble Bundles in the past and had to pull up on the monthly. Looks like a good deal, but I still have a bunch that I haven't gotten to.

I got the first one, and gotta say I was disappointed.
Firstly, only 5% to charity. The only reason I ever buy these bundles is because I know its going 100% to charity. Otherwise I wouldn't bother buying these bundles. I got enough games I want to play to keep me busy for years.

Second, of all the games I actually got, not even one of them was in a genre I like. The only thing I would even bother trying would be Legends of Grimrock and Valkyrie Chronicles. And I didn't like either of them. They even added Scantuary RPG Black Edition, which I think were given out for free a while ago.

On the whole, buying a random selection of games on subscription is silly. Its easier to simply buy one quality game you know for sure you would like than get 5-6 which you might or might not enjoy, or even if you like it, you might already own it.
