Unfortunately, the licenses are very unfree.

Even porting Darwinia is not allowed: "For the avoidance of doubt you may not develop a version of the program for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad or any other platform other than those specifically stated above [MacOS, Microsoft Windows (for the PC) or Linux]".
Neither are translations allowed ("you will not distribute in any format any non-English version" ).

Not that I expected anything else, but it's still a bummer.

Now I got the forum activation mail. And it sends me back my password in plaintext *barf*.

Well, the interesting thing about the Introversion Humble Bundle is that it comes with the sources for their games.
Theoretically, anyway. To register for SVN access, I need an account on their forums (WTF!). Their forums sends out an activation email, which I'm not getting (at least not after now 15 minutes; maybe caught up in the greylisting?). I did get a mail badgering me into subscribing to their mailing list, though...

Jacob's Island looks interesting; I just wish it was more of a game, with actual choices, than just a visual novel where all you do is click next.

Yes, there was a Kickstarter for a new Torment game (not in the Planescape setting, though, but using Monte Cook's new Numenera system): http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-numenera [External Link]

The PayPal store is still open, I think: https://torment.inxile-entertainment.com/store [External Link]

Yes, also very excited about Among The Sleep and Darkwood! :)

I missed the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter too.
It is one of the reward of the Torment Kickstarter for me, though, into which I blew more money than I actually had (me on my shoestring budget); but I just loved PS:T to death. At first, I wasn't that interested about Wasteland 2, but the more I hear/see/read, the more I'm actually getting psyched about that game. :)

I'll join the general "Barf, Adobe Air" sentiment.

What's "moderately or very nearsighted" in dioptre?

I guess there's no way to get them specific to your eyesight? Because just a generic "nearsighted" eyepiece is pretty much bullshit. Hell, even throw-away bulk contact lenses come in 100 flavours and everyone knows they're still suboptimal.

But how well does the surround sound setup work with you moving your head around?

Also: How does the Oculus Rift feel/work for people with glasses? Do you have a gap somewhere in your vision when you put the Rift one? Does it press the glasses tightly (painfully?) against your face? Do you have to fear your lenses getting scratched?
