@ TFL Replica,
I completely agree about Amnesia...great game and king of horror games. but because of that i refuse to ever play it lol.

thinking that though i will be hard pressed to keep up to date for games coming out monthy, there are several past indie games..so great...that they must have some documentation on here Amnesia among them


@ ExposedWang
haha be patient i only started the thread! I know i will miss many games...practically guaranteed because my time is fairly limited out here, but ill do my best. though i wont discourage anyone's help for games.

If you bring in a game in your post, throw in a couple screenshots, a gameplay vid, where it's for sale and for how much that would be plenty and i will put in on the list on page 1


@ Radiopools
cant agree more on Orcs Must Die...gosh it's fun. but TOUGH.. i dont want to but may have to go to "easy" just to get through the levels for the better towers and go back for the better completion and skull count..
hard to decide which upgrades to get though...ive stored up almost 30 with indecision lol

so far the only DLC ive seen is the Knight's something... different suit and you have a hammer instead, looks cool but i dont use the melee much. so far love the crossbow (tons of headshots) and wind belt.


@ JoelMartinez
completely agree that super meat boy rocks..i just bought another controller so i could play it on my laptop out here. love it. i may be delayed in adding it so look up to what i said to ExposedWang, feel free to throw it in yourself if i take to long!


bit more for the future of this thread..
-everyone can contribute, this should be big we all need to take more screenshots lol.. just that and a gameplay vid (linked from youtube is easiest), then links to where we can buy it, do that and the game will make the main list on page 1

-plan is to keep current on games as they are released, but as i said to TFL Replica above, "legacy" games should and WILL be included, so make recommendations..this is what this thread is FOR

take care guys, hope you like the direction this thread is going. more input the better because this is my biggest undertaking on here besides a case mod log.

You can fix it by exiting steam, going to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\appcache and deleting the "appinfo.vdf" and "packageinfo.vdf" files (heard it was just the appinfo but others have posted saying both, friend deleted both and it worked for him). Restart steam, run the game, and the shield with the DLC should be there.

Another place to buy some indie titles from is gamersgate http://www.gamersgate.com/

Also Check out Total Biscuit's youtube channel as he does a load of reviews of Indie games as they come out and they are pretty fun to watch (check the W.T.F is.... Section). http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalHalibut

@ JoeyTB

thanks for the links man ill add them to the front page!

No problem! Would like to see this thread blossom

hey TFL Replica...
or anyone else that has the answer

wondering a small bit about The Binding of Isaac. when i played the demo on newgrounds and used my keyboard i could only shoot the 4 main directions.. i have a gamepad now, is it possible to shoot diagonally in the game?

not sure why i thought of this but am curious


@ JoeyTB
same here! so far a good start, tell your friends!! lol

actually..what i should do is get a good signature link made... mine is just a basic url...would be nice to have a real spiffy sig link

Hmm a spiffy sig would help but I can't really help you there as I'm terrible at that sort of thing...

Also looking at this review of the game http://gamingtrend.com/game_reviews/...ding-of-isaac/ There is no diagonal shooting.

fooi...i was kindof hoping with the diagonal shooting, but in truth it would make the game far easier and we cant have that.

also playing super meat boy again. love this game because it is the only one that will make me laugh myself to tears when i die constantly...
just going for one of the first bandaids i must have died....40-60 times... was awesome

Shooting is limited to the 4 directions but if you're moving while you shoot, the projectile will pick up your movement speed/direction.

So if you move left and fire upwards the tear will fire top left. Likewise if you move right and fire right the projectile will move much faster towards the enemy, extending its range. Use this to your advantage.
