Humble WB Games Bundle

"Pay what you want. Support charity. Get six exceptional games from WB Games."

The Humble Bundle idea has to be one of the most innovative ways to get people to donate to charity. The idea is simple. The Humble Bundle page presents a limited time offer of different digital merchandise. It can be games, movies, ebooks, music, comedy shows, etc. From there you decide what these items are worth to you.

Once decided, the website can split that contribution up between the charity, developers, and themselves for you or you can split it manually in any denomination that you'd like. All for the children and nothing for the developers? Check. Half to the Humble Bundle crew and the rest split to the developers and charities? Check. It's all possible in their excellent and flexible system.

You can pay by credit card, paypal, amazon payments, bank account, or even bitcoin.

The list is short and sweet this time around:

Scribblenauts Unlimited
Batman: Arkham City GOTY
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
F.E.A.R. 3
Lord of the Rings: War in the North

All of the above games are currently available for the minimum of just under $5 and are full PC (and in one case MAC as well) game.s The Humble Bundle crew will also provide Steam keys whenever available. You can purchase the bundle for yourself or as a gift to another or even gift away certain games (this feature is still in beta but worked well when tested) to other people from your own bundle.

To top this, the Humble crew almost always add more games free of charge at the last minute. These games come at no extra cost to you and are automatically added to your bundle as long as you met the minimum donation. If you did not meet the minimum, you can always go back and make up the difference by adding it to your original donation. You just do not find this type of flexibility at many places whether physical or online.

All games ran smoothly on my Sony Vaio i7 system with Nvidia graphics with the only issue being that the games downloaded very slowly on my connection on Steam. Most games are a few gigs each but well worth the download.

Retron 5 hacked to launch RetroArch and play ROMS off your SD card

It appears that a someone going by the screenname of RetroN Labo on Youtube has successfully hacked the Retron 5 console to run the full version of Retroarch. In the video shown, various emulators that are not part of the original firmware are playable including the PC Engine, Playstation One, Nintendo DS, and Wonderswan. As the stock firmware from the Retron 5 is programmed to load games from an original cartridge when it is inserted, this hack appears to run ROM and ISO files, most likely from the SD card slot built into the back of the console. In most of instances shown in the video, emulation appeared to run smooth, and the games previewed looked playable. Currently, Hyperkin (Retron 5 manufacturer) is in hot water with Retroarch's creators due to using their emulator cores without permission. After being discovered, Hyperkin has shared their code, and claims that they have removed any infringing code from their console. The Retroarch group feels diffe

Run Android Apps on the Dell Venue Pro 8 with Bluestacks

Android Apps integrate into the Modern Start screen. Those of you that follow my blog are aware that I recently purchased a Dell Venue Pro 8 ( reviewed here ) and am pretty happy with the performance and usability for the price. In that review, I compared it to the Google Nexus 7 , another one of my favorite devices. For those of you who are not that familiar with the various ecosystems, when it comes to touch apps, Microsoft is a distant third place behind Apple and Google. While the Microsoft store has been slowly getting more apps geared towards touch devices, there are still many notable apps missing such as HBO GO, or Showtime Anytime, Temple Run, Instagram, etc. Some times there are third party replacements, and some times there are not. The good news is that you may not have to wait to use your favorite app on Windows 8.x. There is a program by the name of Bluestacks that will allow you to run Android apps in Windows as close to natively as possible. Think of
