CarrionCrow: How's Lifeless Planet? That's one I'm interested in trying when I can.
I really enjoyed it. It may not be the best game, but for an indie game it was very good. The landscapes and settings are superb, especially some of the later game locations, and the story is quite interesring. The only downfall for me was that I wanted to know more of the back story, but that could be because I'm a big Sci-Fi fan and the setting and story really appealed to me.

IAmSinistar: Inspired by some other sites I visit, I've just added a wishlist entry for a Currently Playing widget. What do folks think, useful or junk?

For reference, mine would be showing Lifeless Planet now. :)
Voted. ;)

CarrionCrow: Just out of curiosity, how's your overall GOG catalog?

tinyE: I'll never run out of games. :P
Yeah, me neither. -laughs- It's nice knowing that, in a possibly weird sort of way.

Interesting. Sounds like I'll need to keep an eye out and make sure to buy it the next time it's on sale. Thank you. =)

My advice - hit sales. Never buy full price, or even close to it. Several months, a fair bit of coin and a whole lot of insomnia later, and you too can have a stack of games bigger than you even begin to know what to do with. ;)

I got mine as part of a Humble Bundle a while ago. As good as I found the game, I do think it's overpriced.

Do you use Steam?

Mate Iv'e got enough games to keep me going until 2115:-)

A bit, yes. Have a few games on there that I figure won't be on GOG for years to come if ever, and a whole lot of cheapo bundle stuff.

Nice idea! Although it should be possible to include games that are not on GOG too. And it should be possible to add multiple games. In that case mine would be showing:
Divinity 2 (GOG), Freelancer, Broken Sword 2 classic (GOG)

Certainly nothing wrong with that. =)
What kinds of games do you prefer to play?

I still have the Steam key from the Humble store still for Lifeless Planet. I'm a DRM-free only girl :-).

If you would like the key, you are welcome to have. It's a humble bundle gift link, so I'm not too sure how they work, but you are welcome to it.

CarrionCrow: Mine would have Lords of Xulima at the moment. Just got through making my party.
How's Lifeless Planet? That's one I'm interested in trying when I can.
Wow, you're quick out of the gate on that game! Let us know how it is, I'm debating on whether I need another 100+ hour RPG in my backlog. :D

Lifeless Planet is decent so far, though something of a walking sim. It's not as engaging or as puzzling as MIND: Path to Thalamus, nor as beautiful. It seems like it will comfortably be a one-day play for me (under 5 hours, though spread over more than one actual day). In that context it's okay, but unless the ending is superb, it will be a mediocre recommendation. Not bad for people who like these kinds of games (such as myself), but unlikely to convert those who don't.

That is very generous of you, thank you. =)
I believe that if you send me the full link copied into a message, I can click on it and redeem the item.

You are right about the length and about it not being for everyone. I think because I like the story and the setting, that I don't mind it, but I know others may not be so big on the game. Walking simulator is a pretty good description, I took it as more of an interactive story. Considering it's small team and budget, I didn't think it was too bad. I have played and seen worse indie games, including newer ones with bigger budgets.
