Can someone explain me Humble Monthly Bundle please?
Do I get all the bundles they sell each week or how does it exactly work?
The monthly game + random games from them (shitty games) ?

You get the monthly bundle, which you won't get any details about until it's too late (when everyone receives it). Basically, it's a bundle pre-order. You get what's in the bundle, like everyone else, but only if you subscribed before it was live. They also sometimes give some instant keys for subscribing to the monthly, in which case they tell you what game you'll receive for this promo.

For reference, here are the past Monthlies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Humble_Bundles#Humble_Monthly_Bundles

You can see their past Monthly Bundles here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Humble_Bundles#Humble_Monthly_Bundles [updated with the better link from jbondguy007]

Imo the last one was really worth it, it was my first Monthly as well. Got it mainly because The Witness on itself (as the game they reveal first) was already worth it for the price. Plus, got Black Mesa, Kingdom - New Lands, event[0], Layers of Fear (enjoyed getting all of those) and plus a couple of other nice games. Only Tumblestone wasn't my cup of tea to be honest.

But yeah, I've seen case of "bad" bundles. They were not exactly made of shit games, but more niche games I would say. So there will always be someone who will enjoy it, others who will hate it, some bundles will be more popular, some will only praise a few, and so on...

It all depends if you like the main game enough and consider everything else to be profit, in my opinion. Tho you can always trade the others, make giveaways for it, so its not like you NEED to activate them.

You'll hardly lose anything by buying a Monthly with a main game you know you'll enjoy, unless a lot of games from the bundle comes out in standard $1/BTA/$15 bundles a couple of months later, which already happened more than I would say its cool. So in that sense its also a kind of gamble.

would've bought the last Monthly Bundle, but for some reason i hesitated. Now i hardly got 10 bucks on paypal... and the main games from the current bundle is not appealing at all.
Would've bought the last bundle if i knew there wuld be Black Mesa and event[0]. Both of them seem very cool.
Thank you for the response ;)

Yup, didn't knew and it was a very good surprise.

Another smart thing you can do to save some bucks is when buying one, save the keys you don't want and trade later for games from future Monthly bundles you won't buy (because the revealed games didn't seemed appealing but they got other nice ones inside, for example).

They're personally not my type :C

While the bundle is live you have until the last minute of their countdown to get it and you will receive all of the games just like the people who bought it on the first day the bundle was announced. So basically while there is an option to buy it, you get everything. :)

Random games are not necessarily shitty games.
since what you missed will look better than what you got.
Either sub and regret or unsub and regret.

Another problem is that they have a loose definition of "game." Sometimes they'll toss in a multiplayer starter pack in the line up, which is complete bullshit.
