Phoronix: Humble Bundle Still Selling Strong - Crosses $650k

The latest Humble Indie Bundle is still selling strong. On its first day of sales, more than $100k USD was generated by Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux gamers for this set of indie titles. Two days have passed and now the Humble Indie Bundle #3 has raked in more than $650,000 USD. With still twelve days left to this sale whereby you pay what you want for the set of five DRM-free multi-platform games, it will surely be yet another bundle to generate more than one million dollars in revenue...

I've played the VVVVVV demo a few months ago and I can say that that game alone makes it worth it to buy this bundle. It's one of the most irritating, infuriating, anger instilling yet addictive games I've ever played.

Too bad it require Pulseaudio

./VVVVVV_64: error while loading shared libraries: libpulse-simple.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That must just be the demo version. No sign of pulseaudio with the actual release:

Or it could be one of the libraries on your system has a dependency on pulseaudio that was broken from an update or the like.

Works here (gentoo 64bit), without pulseaudio.

Haha, yeah this is so common and consistent on Phoronix it has to be a software bug. Has a report been filed yet? :-)

I've already bought it. Crayon Physics seems awesome to me.

I've played "And Yet It Moves"! Very enjoyable and challenging and it plays like a charm in my mini notebook with Intel 4500HD.
