What? Humble Bundle says I can have EA games without paying EA?

Let's see...
Strike all the Origin-only titles...
Strike the FPSs...
I've seen video of Mirror's Edge and wasn't impressed with either the shooty or jumpy bits.
That leaves one driving game. Don't really need Burnout Paradise, but...
Oh, EA doesn't want any money going to Child's Play or EFF? That settles it for me. Sure, those are good charities, but they aren't the ones I give money to.

I've always wanted to check out Mirror's Edge for myself, but could never justify paying full price for it. Even if it stinks, I only got it for $1. Good enough for me.

Besides, it kinda doesn't suck!

I dunno, I liked these bundles better when they were all about quirky indie games. It's nice that it's all for a good cause, and that you can get EA games without actually giving money to EA, but I thought part of the idea was to give exposure to games that otherwise wouldn't get much. EA spends plenty on advertising already.

I bought "Humble Indie Bundle" 1, 2, and 3, and those are what I'd like more of. No idea how many times over they've given me Gish and World of Goo now.
This bundle may be cheap (the average is still low), but it's hardly "humble." The purpose here is to get Origin onto your machine.
I've gone through old emails to try to get all my HBs onto an account, which I'd neglected in the past, and I've played 15 levels of Zen Puzzle Garden, previously not installed.

I played around on the training mission last for 2 hours, just jumping around and climbing in free-play mode. I've barely even started the story and I'm already diggin' it.
Worth the $1 price tag already.
I read nothing but bad reviews about the game in the past so I was always wary to try it.
