Morgan Freeman Applause GIF by The Academy Awards


March doing some heavy lifting there to spread the awareness about lesser known indies titles. Lots of interesting stuff from smaller devs being shown this year that caught my attention.

As long as I get replies like these...

I completely missed this one and it seems right up my alley. Thanks a lot.
Town to City caught my eye.
Of all that, Kriegsfront Tactics
Going to have a look through this later, I'm sure to find plenty of interest.

...It's all worth it. If I post 100 games and someone checks out at least 1, that's a win for both parties.

I appreciate the posts guys.
