Great article. :)

Quoting: rick01457Do I have the option of driving my pimped truck into a Norwegian fjord and paying peanuts for someone to retrieve it and repair it for me?

I haven't played the game, but if you can, you'll be paying an arm and a leg rather than peanuts. ;)

Yeah, I'm pretty amazed by this game. Like sub wrote, it is a real gem.

I've played more than 5 hours now, and I've still only cleared three full areas plus a couple of special levels. The game is damn hard.

CO-OP : Decrypted 2.5D Puzzle-platformer Adds Linux Support, Some Thoughts

I hadn't even heard of this game, but it looks interesting for sure. Reminds me a lot of Rochard, which is a great 2.5D puzzle/action platformer.

HUSH, An Action & Adventure Game About Childish Fears Is Coming To Linux
9 May 2015 at 12:20 pm UTC

We covered it briefly at the end of TFC #44 and it's one we really wanted to see get funded. Unfortunately that didn't happen, but it's great to hear they haven't given up on the game, and that they aim to support Linux.

You used to be able to change that from your account after purchase, but I couldn't find that when I looked earlier. Did they remove that option?

Quoting: SpeedsterFriend 1 "I'm bored, what should we do tonight?"
Friend 2 "How about playing a few rounds of dystopian steam punk mini golf?"
Friend 1

Haha, yeah. I imagine that's going to be a pretty common scenario. :)

I am pretty interested in it myself, but I think I'm going to work on getting rid of some of my backlog before taking a chance at something like this.

Quoting: muntdefemsWell, well, well... Look who's in the new Humble Weekly Bundle! ^_^

Oh, wow! That was unexpected. Looks like it's got pretty much everything Surprise Attack in it. And it looks like I'll be playing Vertiginous Golf sooner than I thought.

Goat Simulator Taking Aim At Survival Games With The New DLC ‘GoatZ’

This line from the description made me laugh too:

QuoteThat’s right - you’ve found the ONLY SURVIVAL GAME ON STEAM that is NOT in Early Access!


I think Goat Simulator is a ton of fun, but that's mostly because it's a very silly platformer sandbox. A survival version just doesn't appeal much to me.

EDIT: By the way, it reminds me a bit of the movie Black Sheep
