Yes, I could download it from Humble. The game consists in collecting yellow stuff, and to do so, you will need to observe your environment, and understand a small puzzle (for instance, what you have to do in order to get this yellow diamond from some tree branches). The game is a bit like Toki Tori 2 in the sense you are not explained much about what to do, you have to figure out your interactions with the other creatures, and you can wander around if you are stuck with a situation.
So Pylon_Trooper is banned - it's a sad time for everyone.
That said - he wrote a piece about Dungeon of the Endless (which is pretty good) and about Pandora.
The guy should be a damn writer.

Twitch, Ustream,whatever allows me to save these broadcasts afterwards. Twitch apparently has some new guidelines and doesnt autosave broadcasts anymore.

Unless they've changed it, there's a checkbox you can toggle in account settings to archive all broadcasts. Although, saving them forever requires you to individually click them all if that's what you were getting at.
I stumbled upon Quantum Party Crasher on Indiestatik. It won some kind of game jam.
Anyway, the game is a neat little stealth game in the style of Monaco. The premise is pretty ridiculous and it's free, so there you go.

Twitch is a good one to go with. It'll let you archive your broadcast, and like Deputy Dangle said, it'll let you save 'em forever as long as you tell it to. You can also send 'em over to youtube if you want.

Enjoyable game, but tough. I can't even get past the first none tutorial level. My stealth senses are shot to hell it seems.

So I'm thinking of trying EUIV today. If I don't make it back in the next 125hrs, please send a letter to my family and friends

I would hold off on that until the furor over game review channels and LP's getting autonuked dies down some. New youtube policies are destroying long established channels left and right for the moment.
If you manage to learn it, see you in march.

Sounds fun. How's the general interface and info conveyance? If there is one thing I remember about Endless Space is that it had a really nice UI construction. I hope that trend continues so Endless Fantasy Wars (or whatever that game is called) ends up being rather special.

You mean Endless Legend? From the screenshots they released the UI reminds me of Endless Space.
Ooh, that looks purty. Love a good fantasy 4x. I didn't get that much into Endless Space for some reason, I need to really buckle down and try to get into it.
The flat grey and black UI feels really out of place in a fantasy setting, though.

So EUIV isn't for me. Can't wrap my head around the controls and interface. Back to Teslagrad
Any other Raetikon impressions beside Wok's? I saw a few gameplay videos, looks fun to explore, but I read that it's only about three hours of gameplay right now (and according to what I read, the alpha is "the complete game, except the ending")

That's the one, it looks grand actually. I've always wanted to but never got into any of the 4x fantasy games. I hope this might be the one that cracks that since I did enjoy Endless Space.
The UI design is pretty solid for Dungeon of the Endless. I am the kind of person who really gets put off by crappy UI and UX (probably because that's my job, but still..) and I felt they were good enough for the game. Some of the stuff is buggy or not yet implemented since it is Alpha but it is a good starting point. I didn't put a ton of time into Endless Space but they definitely feel like they are in the same overarching universe.

Man why almost every thread I decide to read becomes some sort of fanboy wars? Do you wanna impressions about that game in beta? Too bad it's going to become pages and pages of people (who probably doesn't even bother to read the fucking OP) asking why the price is so high, the same question that was made in the previous pages and already got answers. Same thing happens to lots of threads, the discussion start meaningful and useful then suddenly the thread derails and you read the same stupid questions over and over and over...
Sorry for the rant, back on topic.
Amplitude Studios really want to pass the feel of the games being in the same universe, I'm not planning to buy Dungeon of the Endless now but so far every opinion I did read was positive towards it I just hope they release the exclusive faction (The Vaulters) that comes with the highest tier of the DotE as DLC.

Hey, welcome to the Indie Threads. Yeah, always a nice variety of great games to choose from. Be sure to check out the previous threads as well, I discovered some fantastic games that I never knew about

It's safe here, no fanboy war BS to be found. Can't stand that stuff either
I see this a lot in threads and it is incredibly annoying. I don't understand why people come in threads just to shit them up. I got a Wii U recently and the thread for it is a damn happy place but every now and then, someone comes and tries to tell everyone how stupid they are for disagreeing with them. On the flip side, people who are blind fans and white knight for devs even in the face of constructive criticism are almost just as annoying.
Relative to the topic, I always get a kick out of posts with people saying they won't play indie games. Not even checking a game out because it isn't pushed with 50 million dollars in marketing is a hilariously awful opinion. Even in just the last few years, indie games have come such a long way and are delivering amazing experiences not found anywhere else. If this was 5 years ago, I could see blanket statements like that having a little more validity since there was a much worse shit:good ratio but times have changed for the better.
Screw the haters, let's enjoy the christmas Indie season.

Eidolon - 2014
So it's like a mix of Proteus and Dear Esther, with survival elements
Trailer
http://www.icewatergames.com/eidolon
You will be dropped into the dreary and mystical Western Washington circa 2400 c.e. with a bow, fishing rod, and little to guide your way. Awaiting you is a vast landscape filled with wildlife, edible plants, and the historical artefacts of our now-dead culturejournals, newspapers, zines, brochures, transcripts, and more. You must spend your fleeting moments moving through this place, collecting what was left behind, and piecing together what happened to these people, both from a historical perspective and from a much more personal one.

I've been playing Westerado and I must say the game is simply amazing. I was surprised when I saw the ammount of NPC's in the "city", I know some of them have repeated dialogues but it helps to bring the sense of immersion. Talking about immersion, the colors choose and the superb music helps a lot to keep you "inside" the game.
It's interesting needing to unlock more more clues about your family murderer and the need to guess who may have burnt your ranch.
The shooting mechanic is pretty smart, having to reload each bullet and having to cock your weapon every time you shoot is great and add a layer of challenge, especially when you're in a place full of bandits.
Everybody needs to play it.

While playing Westeradi the game bugged in a mission when I died. I'll try it again another time, I hope it saved my progress so far.
The sad thing is I dont have enough money or time to play all these games. ;_;

Did you do it yet? I just entered that room so I could try it.
Edit: Wait, I didn't have any trouble. It went straight up to the top when I punched the block below it to make it blue...
Nah, just give them all to Gone Home and we can be done!

Maybe you could ask the guys who are handling the GAF GOTY thread for help. From what I read in the Steam thread, they wrote scripts (think that's the right term) that can collect the votes and rank them, divide them into categories, etc
If you need help, wouldn't mind assisting
I think we'll be 20 people max voting, so thats not the problem.
But compiling a list of 20 games I will vote for and going through 500 games from march to december? Thats going to take a while.
If we wouldnt already have a few more than awesome banners, it would be your fault for getting a hercules themed banner/voting thread now.
