Well folks it's that awesome time again, time to get your game on! Humble Indie Bundle 8 is live and with a really amazing selection too.
Featuring lots of great games!
All are native ports apart from Dear Esther which is another Codeweavers port like LIMBO was before, although this time Ryan 'Icculus' Gordon is making a native port as we speak.
You know the drill pay what you want and get some great games, although it now seems the normal to have a pay more than the average from the start game section too so it's not completely PWYW anymore. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: HamishAm I the only one not terribly enthused by any of these titles?
No, you are not. The update in Torchlight is more exciting for me.

I already owned Hotline Miami and completed it, but I don't mind paying again to be honest.
Capsized, I've only played about 10 minutes of it, but it's a pretty fun action platformer with some physics puzzles thrown in -- it was also something that I was hoping to get a Linux port when I first saw the release trailer.
I think the "big" one here is Awesomenauts -- seeing as how Simon Lane (Honeydew, Yogscast) voiced one of the characters and Total Biscuit has covered it a *lot*. It's nothing special for me, I prefer engrossing stories to arcade action; but the port, on the surface, seems well done.
Thomas was Alone was also covered by Nerd3 and got me interested, though I'm not sure how long that will last.
The rest are "meh" for me, Little Inferno came too late as I already beat it in Wine a few months ago and Proteus and Dear Esther are just not really my sort of games. Though I am sure to play them at some point (I didn't know what Proteus was until I launched it).
Also, does anyone know if the Torchlight update fixed the faces? I would love to have that bug free for the start of my holiday this Friday!

I have not confirmed it by myself, but I suppose the fix is included in the last update:

Already owned most of these from either my own earlier purchases from my Windows days, or from Steam for Ubuntu launching. I still threw $25 for Little Inferno and Thomas Was Alone, just slanted it mostly towards charity instead of the devs.
Sadly, Little Inferno doesn't install on Steam. Hopefully they'll rectify that soon.
Weird to see Proteus and Dear Esther in the bundle though, as they're both odd non-games in a way. More interactive experiences both of them. It's good really, because I don't think Dear Esther was worth the money I paid for it originally, so this is a good deal for the curious.

Hmm, that tweet doesn't specifically say it fixes the faces for all classes -- however, digging a bit deeper than asking for the answer on a plate: http://support.humblebundle.com/customer/portal/articles/1148712-torchlight-linux
Quoting: HiBWe have recently released an update for Torchlight on Linux. This new update should resolve most outstanding issues with the game!
So I'd expect it does fix the faces :) Will try it out tonight.

I don't think so, really. Well, that it's weird, anyway. I'll not weigh-in on whether or not they are games, as I don't believe that can be answered, I don't care, and it doesn't matter anyway. It's not particularly weird because all sorts of bizarre things have been added to bundles, from tech-demos to prototypes to feature-length films ( "Indie Game: The Movie" ). And then, of course, there's Osada, which was weird as hell, but I did enjoy playing with it as an interactive toy :D
