orcishgamer: That list is a good enough starting point, there's plenty of others to suit quite a few personal tastes, of course, but there's a ton of indie games and some really, really high quality ones.

StingingVelvet: There are good indie games and bad indie games, just like there are good corporate games and bad corporate games. I like good games. What I don't do is pretend everything indie is amazing because OMG GO INDIE. Which according to above makes me anti-indie, I guess.
I'm glad for indie, obviously there will be stinkers, I'll give some indie games a pass that I wouldn't give a AAA title (e.g. bad voicework is more acceptable in an indie), but I'm in favor of good games, and indie games aren't "better" defacto than old games or any other type of game is "better".

As to why I might buy a game that I won't play, both because I can (i.e. it makes me happy) and supporting art, even art that isn't my cup of tea, for such a low price I think is ultimately to everyone's benefit, since it's no big deal to me to have unplayed games and the cost is likewise no big deal, I'm happy to buy almost all the indie bundles that aren't complete ass.
I'd stab Chef Boyardee in the ear-hole for a DRM-free copy of Aquaria. So yes, I'm fucking pissed I missed the bundles with Aquaria. I'll gift you any game you want if anyone out there wants to trade!

MGShogun: Didn't get last Humble Indie bundle because my video card ain't beefy enough. :(

Soyeong: You can always buy the bundles when they are available and then play it later once you have a better video card.
True but honestly.... nothing in last bundle really appeals to me so it's not big loss.
For trades do people just have extra bundle keys lying around? I've bought all the bundles (except THQ), but I don't really see any way to trade them. I can see trading out the Steam Keys especially when we sometimes got the whole previous bundle as an extra, is that what most people are talking about?

You can buy it as gift.
I kind of wanted HAB3 to get DRM free backups of World of Goo and Spacechem, and similarly for HIB7 for a DRM free backup of Isaac (and give the key to my cousin) and to a lesser extent Grimrock and Basement Collection... but decided to pass on it since I don't think my laptop would run those two games and already put most of my money into my steam wallet. Probably would have tried to trade for HIB7 in the classified thread if I had known the last remaining daily deals/encore sale would be so lackluster. :(
