<p>OK now that the title got your attention no they aren&#8217;t free they are <strong>pay what you want</strong> its up to you (you can even gift it to someone).</p>
<p>These are a number of great games from some Indie developers (one of my favourite being <strong>World of Goo</strong> from <a href="http://2dboy.com/">2dboy.com</a>) I picked up World of Goo before actually and the graphics are beautiful the concept brilliant (connect balls of goo to reach a pipe so you can go to the next level &#8230; but its goo so its bendy.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve not played the other games but I&#8217;m looking forward to it when I&#8217;ve a bit more time. <strong>Gish</strong> and <strong>Penumbra</strong> look really interesting to me .. not so much <strong>Aquaria</strong> or <strong>Lugaru</strong> but who knows they could be great. They&#8217;ve all gotten pretty decent scores on Metacritic as well ranging from 70/100 -> 90/100 I think.</p>
<p>Whats more &#8230; you decide how you want your donation / payment split up either to the developers and charities or in any combination you want. So far the average contribution is $7.95 which is not bad. ( Charities are <a href="http://www.childsplaycharity.org/">Child&#8217;s Play Charity</a> and <a href="http://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>)</p>
<p>So why not head on over to <a href="http://www.wolfire.com/humble">http://www.wolfire.com/humble</a> and grab the bundle for yourself or watch their video on what its all about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So its been a week or so since my last post but I&#8217;ve got my excuses lots has been happening. I was in Morocco for one and had a great time. Shutting down completely for a few days from online life is definitely to be recommended from time to time. Are we too connected sometimes .. yes .. yes we are.</p>
<p>The worst thing about coming back from holidays where you shut off is the amount of catching up you have to do especially when you&#8217;re a freelancer but thats going somewhere else that I don&#8217;t want to go with this post and a post on Fes in Morocco and my trip will be coming up shortly&#8230; So without further ado here we have my latest contribution to the Squishy The Cat / Catatar dynasty meet Borcat:D </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This was a rather fun little image to come up with. Obviously based on American Beauty its taking two separate shots of Yoda / Squishy. I&#8217;d actually have loved to have a proper shot of his tummy in high res for it but my camera is currently out of commission (Battery Charger issue .. it blew up)</p>
<p>And &#8230; on to the photo </p>
<p><img src="http://www.jameslarkin.ie/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/felinebeauty.jpg" alt="Feline Beauty - A Semi Parody on American Beauty" title="Feline Beauty" width="408" height="604" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-34" /></p>
<p>I even had someone ask me for the high res version of it which kinda made my day ( sad I know but &#8230; such is life <img src='http://www.jameslarkin.ie/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
