The Humble Indie Bundle is a collection of Games by independent developers who team up every now and then to ring up some support for charity, and to sell these games on a pay-what-you-want basis. This usually results in sales by the truckload when the Humble Bundle goes live.

In the fifth humble bundle the following games are included: Bastion, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Psychonauts, LIMBO and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
The Humble Indie Bundle V is now live until the 15th of June on the humblebundle website.

Port Database Nexus & My Nexus Pages

Ideas are the start of everything. And once in a while, a good one also pops up here.

If you are visiting us here, all bets are on that you are going to check out our Port Database.
Mac OSX Wrappers for PC Games, Ported Applications, or Freeware & Classic Ports, the Port Database has got them all.

The Port Database is easily searchable for anything, Ports can be easily posted & downloaded. But every system has a little downside.
Due to the overwhelming amount of Ports we got in it, submitted by various members, porters and users, it's becoming a little pita adventure to navigate through it.
Categories aren't helping much when you've got nearly 1200 working Ports in it, so keeping up with the latest Ports or searching are most likely the best options a system like the Port Database can give it's users.

But there can always be something better, or at least an alternative.
And a few days ago, we made a little something called the Port Database Nexus & the My Nexus Pages.

Wineskin Winery 1.5 + Wineskin 2.5.5 Released!

Wineskin Winery 1.5 update & Wineskin 2.5.5 is out!  There should be noticeable performance improvements in many games!
Minor changes really except whats noted below.
Also as a warning,  Wineskin 2.5.5 will be 10.6+ only... 10.5 support is being dropped.
This version of Wineskin Winery will still run on 10.5 and if you use manually installed items to get WS8 engines and wrappers 2.5.4, then it should still work.  The built in downloading will eventually move over to only 10.6 compatible stuff.  WS9 engines which will eventually start showing up will also be 10.6+ only.
