[clug-talk] Humble Indie Bundle: 5 Linux Friendly Games for Charity

[Shawn]

I did that.  I downloaded EVERY file they had for Linux and Windows. 
For Linux, the games have .debs, .rpms, and .tar.gz files, for 32bit and 
64bit.  I use both 32bit and 64bit systems.

I am totally amazed by the Osmos game.  Such a simple concept, yet so 
fun.  Machinarium is pretty good too, once you put it into window mode 
so the mouse actually works right (just a tad slow in full screen mode 
on *buntu).

I haven't tried the others yet, but they looked fun too.

Oh, I like how that even though the Linux crowd is (was?) only about 35% 
of the pie chart, the average payment per person was more than double 
the windows persons ($13.50ish vs $5.50ish when I downloaded earlier today).
