Indie Royale (I think...) did something similar with their Gamer Girl (or whatever it was called) bundle. They pick someone internet famous to pick the games to draw in fans of the person who trust their judgement and would buy a game that they normally wouldn't based on that person's recommendation alone.

The video makes me want to punch him in the face.
Still, it's for a good cause...
Seriously though, Amnesia.

Not sure if to punch his face on my monitor...
Or throw my 5 bucks to the screen.

On the one hand, these are excellent games. On the other... ugh.
Edit: seriously though, Thomas Was Alone is absolutely one of my all-time favorites. It's a cutesy platformer/puzzle game with a charming narrative.

"these are excellent games" --- sorry, McPixel is not an excellent game, it's not even a mediocre game; it's utter crap.
Comment has been collapsed.
I respectfully disagree. McPixel was fun for what it was meant to be: a mindless point and click with a lot of poop jokes. Also a homage to MacGyver and MacGruber. People take it too seriously.

EA, and now Pewdiepie ?
They try to have a good image by doing this :/
I hate him, but I bought the game for the charity.

Youtube automatically subs you to him when you make an account unless you untick the option. Its a load of crap. At least last time I made an account it did

He is one of the most sucessful Youtubers out there.

I think I might have seen the name mentioned around but I couldn't be bothered to actually look into any of his videos. I hear he does lets plays or something and if I had to listen to such a distracting accent in a lets play format I don't know that I could handle it for long.

"Sir, new Weekly Humble Bundle is aproaching our castle!"
"Open the gate immediately!"
"It's hosted by PewDiePie."
"CLOSE THE GATE."
"Sir, it includes Amnesia!"
"...Open the gate a little."

You people really have some sort of problem disliking some random person who you don't even know or should care about. Seriously quit being dumbasses and start doing things of your own accord. Not wanting to buy the bundle because "That one guy everyone hates because he has a ton of subs" is hosting it?
*Sigh

You mad?
Seriously, I am one of the moderate "haters" in this topic.

He appeals to a very specific audience, but his 'humor' literally boils down to a lot of screaming and rape jokes. And some barrels. This video sums it up for me.

Specific audience=braindead children?.Screaming at the top of yours lungs and cursing at nothing over nothing isn't humor.I haven't met a single intelligent fan of his because obv. the content only attracts lowest common denominator.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's pretty much my point exactly; I just chose to say it a bit more diplomatically.
Comment has been collapsed.
No-no-no. OBVIOUSLY "8scribbledlines" has personally sat down and had a conversation with every singl one of pewds subscribers to accurately measure the average/highest IQ in his audience. He has even spoke to me. Why else would he say such things if he did not already test it. He speaks with every new sub of his to make sure that we are still all braindead. Ask him for the statistics. This guy knows what he is talking about.
Comment has been collapsed.
True. He also did a lot for McPixel, too. Might not be a huge fan of his videos, but I've gotta appreciate the views he gets for the games that he LPs. LPers like him can sometimes mean the difference between great sales and getting greenlit on Steam, or being missed out on by a significant percentage of gamers.

Because he rapes ears? (No but really the dude is obsessed with rape.)
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know why so many people hate on him. I used to watch him sometimes, and got tired of his videos eventually (commented gameplays in general to be honest), but at least he seems really honest and good person, and not a greedy bastard.
I would understand people not liking him, but envy is the only reason I can see for hating him.
Comment has been collapsed.
Let me preface this with saying I don't watch any of his content and never will simply because I dislike his online voice and personality… and it's okay. Everyone has the right to respectfully dislike people.
I do think that this was a brilliant thing for him to do, joining up with Humble and those game developers the amount charity:water now gets will be considerable. It's one worth while charity if there ever was one.
Will be buying it myself, some good games there. I already have Amnesia, but I will be contributing as much as my bank account permits.

Not getting it because of PewDiePie. Lalalala, Can't stop me.

It would be worth it for Thomas was Alone alone, but I already have it.
