Do you have a source on that last point? It's very interesting and I don't think I've heard it before despite living in Canada. I'd love to get a deeper look at this.

Nope, you're remembering wrong. From the announcement of the second bundle [1]: However, new this time is a customizable "Humble Tip" which goes to fund a new company Jeff and myself recently started: Humble Bundle, Inc. [1] http://blog.

It's not been there since the beginning, I believe they added it in on the second or third bundle.

This generally sums up why I prefer Mercurial. It provides all the benefits of a distributed VCS, but with less of the complexity, at the expense of some (usually unneeded, at least for me) flexibility.

It's fantastic how these people were able to play the metagame like that. I suspect that if you caught on to this, the best strategy would in fact be to impersonate the Southampton players, mimicking the ten-move dance, and then perpetual

Even ignoring the hardware, there are problems with the software. And the software is the most important part of a game console. It's a given that in the gaming world, people hate buying hardware. The only reason people buy hardware is to

This may be the fifth one (actually more, if you count the Bundles that were developer-specific) but this time around the games in it are excellent. It's probably the best of their bundles ever. And the new games only add to that.

To be clear you have to pay over the average (which at the moment is $7.86) to get Bastion. Still, this is probably the best Humble Bundle since the first one. Every game here is great.

That's a terrible idea for several reasons. 1. As people have mentioned, touchscreens were never designed around gaming. A standard gamepad with buttons and sticks works much better. 2. A big part of living room gaming is local multiplayer,

I think that website cheats a little bit. The first link in "Science" is not "Knowledge" but "Latin", where it's describing the root of the word "Science". If you follow it properly, you'll find that even the article for "5 Whys" doesn't

Another interesting industry to look at through this lens is game development. Game companies develop and sell software (and sometimes hardware) to consumers, so they must be technology companies, right? Wrong. The games industry is not a t

Vimeo will never overtake Youtube because of their draconian policies on copyrighted content. For example, you're not allowed to upload videos that show videogame gameplay unless it's a game you developed yourself (and shows like these are
