These forums are the coolest! Thanks to all involved especially Grayon for starting the group hug.

Hehe, okay, just checking. Not something very sophisticated or anything, but I usually start in sector 2 to put some money aside, around 80-100 spacebucks, enough to buy the much needed weapon when I come across a store. Getting sufficient firepower to at least theoretically kill foes with level 2, 3 and in the end 4 shields is a big priority for me in the midgame. (I re-play it on normal right now. I would guess that on hard it's even, erm, harder to put aside cash.) Oh, Zoltans explode. I didn't manage to piece that together on my own. This explains the strange and untimely death of one of my trusty Mantis'. FTL is, I'm pretty sure, the game I've spend the most time with in the last two years. And now I'm all hooked again. I really like mindcontrol, the new encounters are great so far, a lot of the new weapons are fantastic, as are the new augmentations, the AI tweaks are cool (whoa, what, boarders get healed and send back now), new race, ships, everything. Even the cloning bay, which I very much not like to use, it's great that it's there, that the enemy has it – which is true with all the stuff, I like that the enemy now has a lot more options to mess with my stuff. Wonderful job, Subset Games!

I still love this game. I think the additions are great. They do seem to make the game a bit harder, which I like. Or maybe not harder in general, but the new stuff provides more opportunities to get completely destroyed by the enemy, by a certain configuration, early on, without having had much chance or time to get the defenses up. (Okay, I said this some pages earlier in this very thread I think, but to the people who have really big problems with getting through the game: You all do use pause constantly and for everything, don’t you?)

I think I have a HIB/Steam-copies of FEZ, FTL, Limbo, To the Moon and Bastion, all very great games. 'Think' as in 'pretty sure they are still up for grabs, but not completely 100% with all of them'. PM me if interested. And beware, I don't come here as often as I used to, might take I little while before I get back to you.

Yeah, the Ecuadorian version. Far less action, more clouds. (Alternativly, my view is like this, only you can't see anything, because said clouds are bit more intrusive.) Btw: I miss hanging out here, but internet is rare, time is rare.

This is my view these days.

Hey Food, is Titan Quest still up for grabs? I'd be interested. Thanks!

Does 'BLEH' mean 'fantastically silly fun'? Because McPixel is exactly that!

(Yeah, new PC, at least fast enough for all the cool indiegames I have and never played.) So, this Legend of Grimrock of yours Twig, it does look well nice.

(And publicly:) Thanks for Waking Mars Twig, very awesome! Your list is pretty impressive. And there might be another game I'm interested in but I had my share so I'll wait for a bit but come on people, what are you waiting for, why isn't everything taken already? I have the item 'Dota 2' in my Steam-items-inventory, because BenLuke gifted me two of those (thanks!), but I'm not sure what this means exactly. I thought it's free-to-play or something, but Steam has a price listed for this or something else and you seem to have to buy it, is it beta-access, who knows. Whatever - anybody interested, it says DOTA 2?

Hey Twig, is Waking Mars still available? I'd like to try that. Thanks.

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go.

Sacrilege by Cara Ellison impressed me.

Thanks! Nah, no royalty. A year in the highlands, eating guinea pigs, climbing on mountains, trying to teach some kids English and stuff. No university, no Japanese Language (my stupid major), no having to look for work in a region that has absolutely no jobs in my field. Happy, and exciting.

I had my last exam today. Now I'm a master, of sorts. Not a particularly good one, mind you, but whatevs. Next up, Ecuador. Yeah! Thanks for providing me with distraction in times of stress and deadlines, Thumbs!

I totally agree! (Just a vague spoiler for S3E09, so if you have seen this one you're fine)

There is also this thread in the Double Fine forums that I thought went amazingly well for two or three pages before it turned into an internet-argument between internet people (but still on a somewhat high level, when you look at the internet in general - due to one side of the argument being an outstanding bullshit-sponge). And it has some input regarding the matter by Brad and other DFers early on. Though the RPS write-up won't induce so much anger as some of the posts in the thread do, so I guess that's the better read. Anyway, very great move by DF, they are fantastic!

Fuck!, hope it goes as well as possible for your brother!

And the reason why the deletion was undone is: This is dumb!

Damn, I had no idea the movie was written by Whedon. Surprise!

I wonder why the rotor-blades are not shielded on the sides in any way - has it something to do with aerodynamics (or how you call the involved physics)?

Claude Debussy - . (I really like his music even though I only know very little of it.)

Cool!

(Wouldn't it be cool if people highlighted their choices in some magical way.) Planescape: Torment. I have to give a longer answer later as well, I have an exam tomorrow.

(On an emotional level) I very much disagree!
