Yup, more people should go that thread, give impressions.
Additionally, I am now ending the speedrun contest of the OP and will contact the winner via PM.
The winner is nimajneb with this ridiculous time:
And the random winner out of the other entries is:
Blizniak
Nimajneb won Legend of Grimrock. Fantastic game, I hope he doesnt own it yet. If not, I might need to have a talk with my random gift number generator.
And the random entry winner Blizniak wins La-Mulana. I'll be in contact with the winners.

I'm just waiting on my greenlight bundle key for that now. Once that comes through I predict I'm gonna be going deep with it.

Edit: I am from Europe and I checked the paypal fees 15 hours ago, and unfortunately, it is not so interesting in the end for me to buy from an American GAFfer, so I went with the 4-pack directly on the dev website. Each copy of the 4-pack has cost me 8 euros. If you want one copy from me, it is okay, yet I feel this would not be the best price because of the paypal fees + foreign exchange.

Best of all, it's a Spanish game, and the Spanish dialogue is just rolling on floor funny. I usually set my games to English but this one I'll play in Spanish.
I wrote and rewrote a personal review of this last month because it was about all I was playing but never posted it. All I found to bitch about was the swearing in the dialogue. I found the game to be incredibly funny and clever, then there's a "fuck" inserted and I just found it seemed out of place and unnecessary for some reason.
I don't think I've seen it mentioned here that the Unepic build on Desura is out of date and you need to download updated versions from the Unepic website.
Currently
Desura version 1.0.30
Unepic Homepage version 1.0.36
http://www.unepicgame.com/en/downloads.html
What. Why the hell
What did I miss by not playing the updated version? Anything worth restarting for?

No idea as I only found the info out after I was overdosed on it/ I'm still on the Desura version. The revelation and my look at the changelogs sent me into a depression of AAA titles.
Have any of you seen the latest Fract OSC teaser? It has gotten me quite excited about the game. I hope that they somehow incorporate the synthesizers into the gameplay.

Waaah, lets just say I started an english localization 4 years ago of an Indie game I loved as a child. And lets just say that I finished 2 out of 5 available games before the project sort of got forgotten for a while. And lets just say the dev just asked me to continue with the localization...
Would I find someone here that has any interest in playing it?
I am also considering making a thread about that at one point (even though I am connected to the project), but maybe I can squeeze the thread through since I want some GAF feedback on the translation and whether the game still is interesting to play these days (which the dev fears it is not and I want to prove him wrong).

The most unusual thing for me is how the main character speaks in what is extremely colloquial Spanish (and particularly Spanish slang, as in from Spain specifically). It's really like going back to being 15 and trading jabs with my mates. I can't imagine anyone not from Spain itself getting, let alone enjoying, most of the slang he uses.
Of course, the standard high fantasy Spanish used by the denizens of that world makes the contrast all the more funny.
That has a really good explanation: for better of worse, this is exactly how us Spanish people talk colloquially (that includes me, and note I don't swear in English). If you're doing a straight translation of colloquial Spanish speech to, say, English, the end result will be something that makes the English speaker's ears' bleed. We have a, um, colorful range of swear words, that we use pretty much like other languages use commas; and particularly English seems to have a quite narrow range of bad words, so pretty much all of the translate as "fuck". So:
"Joder" -> "Fuck" (literal)
"Coño" - > "Fuck" (actually female genitalia).
"Hostia/Ostia" -> "Fuck" (sacramental bread... yeah, don't even ask
)."Cojones" -> "Fuck" (testicles, but it's much more often said than the English equivalents).
"Puto/Puta" (adj) -> "Fucking" (actually, "that prostitutes itself").
The list, believe it or not, goes on.
That's not even getting into the colorful phrases that I won't really go into for the benefit of my readers' innocent eyes.
The bottom line is, on a direct translation, 5 year old girls in Spain would be fouler-mouthed than American truck drivers; you don't want to know about teenagers. I'm talking about Spain Spanish, BTW; from my experience, our overseas cousins tend to be rather better-mouthed.

Really, Toma? You have to freaking ask? I'd say after all you've done here, the very minimum we owe you is to try it! I could only find the German version on the site, though, can you give us a link to the English one?
The english versions are still in the making. I did the work on those about 4 years ago and actually finished 2 games, but I just noticed that I need to redo some of the work I did. Once I am done with correcting my loca files for the first 2 games, I'll talk to the dev again about publishing the english version of these two

From the makers of Don't Shit Your Pants comes a 2D procedurally generated action-platformer, Rogue Legacy. Every time you die, you play as the next generation of your children who have specific disabilities like color blindness, dyslexia, gigantism, near-sightedness and irritable bowels. I shit you not.

Ok, when those blue pebbles started lifting because of lower gravity, pretty damn cool moment.

I wonder if I play as a color blind character if everything will still look normal to me (or if they'll go full black and white or something)
From the RPS link above.
Purposely didn't quote the rest as it might be fun to find out first hand
This game looks amazing, definitely be interesting to spend some time with and try to advance your character and lineage. Definitely getting a vote from me!

Mmmmm, so we should try the German version in the meantime? Is it text-heavy? I admit the German installer intimidated me a bit, as I don't speak a word of German.

lol, its VERY text heavy. 1000 lines of text for the first and smallest one. Its also heavily inspired by the roguelike game design in that you need to know how to use the items and environments to your advantage. You definitely need to be able to read item descriptions. Despite its simple looks, its actually rather tricky. People will get stuck a lot at first until they figure out how to play the game. It actually has some of the Starseed Pilgrim "Explore the mechanics" feel to it.
Thanks.
Now you can vote for Among the Sleep on Steam Greenlight.
Interesting game 2:
Undead Legions - Top down arena shooter with tons of upgrades. Reminds me of Crimsonland, even though the artstyle is a bit crappy. Super cheap (1$), trying later.

Haha, actually its a slow day after work. I played a lot of SpecOps (to see what the fuss is about), Soul Sacrifice and Fire Emblem in the past few days (FE mainly today, SS mainly the 2 days before). I guess I just needed an Indie injection and went to Desura to check the latest releases. Havent played any of those yet, but some look really intriguing.
Interesting game 7:
Draconian Wars - A well rated non-booster, non-F2P based Card game for 3 bucks:
That seems... too good to be true.

The latest TIGSource Devlog Magazine is up. It's been a great addition for me in finding some great indies being made as it bundles up interesting things within the TIGSource forums on a (nearly) weekly basis.
