And this reminds me that I still need to play the first game.

As in coop? Or her playing/you watching/taking turns? Good PC coop games are always hard to find.
A number of excellent indie couch games came out in the last few months, but they're probably not in the price range you're looking for? The Yawhg is one of the cheaper ones I can think of, sitting at 10$. Totally worth it. 'ibb & obb' is a good one if you have a PS3, also ten bucks. Same goes for 'Tales from Space: About a Blob' which is a bit cheaper. The usual suspects (Samurai Gunn, Towerfall, Nidhogg) are all 15$ at the moment.
Museum of Parallel Art is a short and interesting experimental game you could try out.
Wow, great suggestions. Yeah, Museum of Parallel Art is lovely and The Yawhg is probably most in line with what you might be looking for. I cant quite imagine that he wants to play Nidhogg and the likes "casually" with his girlfriend though.
I dunno, the mechanics aren't that intricate, and 'casual' is a question of mindset, anyhow, e.g. are you playing to do perform well or just enjoying a second layer of interactivity while having a good time talking, laughing, drinking, etc. That's how I feel about it, anyway, but I see your point, of course.
The other games need more love, in any case! Let us know what you settle on, daycru.

Yeah, I was just trying to think what I could play with my girlfriend casually. She loved the Yawhg for 2-3 playthroughs, but Nidhogg would be nothing for her.
Btw, new Indie thread maybe up tomorrow. Work, Destiny of Spirits and a review I needed to do for my blog kept me from putting it up today.
May the Indie gods forgive me.

Always remember that
You know, Toma, you might have posted that November Impulse thread a few months too early, would have been cool for April 1st

Yeah, I was considering doing it for april but I was in the mood to do it back then, and I dont have the time for it right now to take care of making people understand what I am trying to do with a joke thread
Maybe next year, or maybe a Santa themed one this year, or who knows. Whenever I find the time.
Thinking simple competitive games. We have a good time playing the soccer mode in Rayman Legends.

Are you done with the games in OP?
Nope, hopefully finishing it by tomorrow.

Ok, then I'll post this one:
Krautscape - $7.99 (PC/Mac)
LINK
Krautscape is an action-packed racing game with bird-like flying cars, focused on competitive multiplayer gameplay. The leading player actively builds the racetrack while the chasing players can take shortcuts by flying off the track to overcome obstacles

Talk about out of left field (for me at least)!

Broforce. If she likes it then she's a keeper for sure.
We've surged over $3500 and definitely going to hit the goal.
HOORAY

The Indie Game Reality TV Show That Went To Hell
GAF discussion: Indie Statik: The Most Expensive Game Jam In History Crashed And Burned In A Day
Something IndieGAF might be interested in. It's fascinating, uplifting, and pathetic all at the same time. Great to see indie devs stand up for their passion

Speaking of uplifting... I am actually kinda disappointed that they didnt already bail at this ridiculous Mountain Dew advertisement. Mountain Dew basically stood out as a metaphor for everything wrong with gaming journalism last year, yet they willingly agreed to advertise it?
Watching the big dogs slowly realising that they can't have their way with (indie) devs as easily as they're used to is amusing. Good job to the indies involved!

I'm currently playing Waking Mars and I can understand why it received so many votes in one of the early indie threads. The game is an alien gardening simulator where you play as an Astrobiologist exploring Mars caves.
Mistly of the time wheb you enter a new area there is a "barrier" that only allows you to pass once you reach a certain value of biomass in the area, and to raise the biomass you have to plant "seeds", and it's very rewarding when you're able to create a bioma that work by itself, the plants sprouting seeds, the critters eating these seeds and reproducing and the cycle goes on.
I really recommend to play this game if you own and is gathering virtual dust in your backlog.

Great experience, and to think it started as an IOS game

It's great when the good iOS games comes to PC, now I'm waiting for Lili release on Steam.
Wow, reading some of that was really cringe inducing. Kudos to the devs for standing up against that crap.

I did read it last night and I can't express how stupid it was. It could be better if it was a docummentary about a game jam instead a reality show.
I'm curious does Pepsi try to push Mountain Dew as the gamer's drink?

Still working on the thread, and going through the voting lists, you guys really should have tried Cubesis. I am a bit saddened that no one gave it a try as its really refreshingly original and interesting.
Maybe that guy wants to come over to us at one point if he actually wants to talk about stuff instead of only listing it in a thread barely anyone gives any attention to. I tried my hands at indie list threads SO many times, it simply doesnt work. Best of luck to him, but its almost a miracle our indie threads are alive and healthy here.
