Thanks for the heads up.

It's still a great game. I just think one more level to make it six wouldn't have gone amiss.

Sites appear to be coming back now, slowly. Now I feel entitled to a free hat.

I created a couple of hours ago a The Witcher private giveaway on Steamgifts, only for gaffers! You can get the link in the Steamgifts thread. I'd love to see GAF doing regular private giveaways as in the good old days! Sorry for those who already entered, but I would like to see a bigger number of entries
Also, I was going to buy Winterbottom, buut since it has been cheaper during Steam Sales I think I'll wait
so I can get mad once it's part of a Indie Bundle because I probably won't have installed it yet

I only have 66 games and I feel bloated. Someone tell me what I should play *next*.

Stalker!
I don't see any playtime under STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl on your profile. So that, definitely.
Or if you're looking for something a little more lightweight, I thought the Puzzle Agent games were a bunch of fun. Only takes about 4 hours to beat each of them.
Edit: .7 hours on Portal 2? Da fuck, man!?
You beautiful man.
someone really needs to create a 'what should I play next' steam ID generator.
^looks like you never touched VVVVVV go for it!

Weird, Steam gave me Renegade Ops.
66 games? You have a long way to go Apprentice.

It used to be pretty great, it even launched the game from your web browser.

Mark your finished games as finished, your unplayably bad games as Unplayable, and play the first alphabetical game you haven't played yet.

If I did this I'd be stuck playing really old submarine simulators for weeks.

So with all the stuff going on with Double Fine it's gotten me in the mood to play Psychonauts again. I've already got the game on GOG but I wanted to get the Steam version for the achievements, something different to go for along with playing the game. Does the 360 controller work flawlessly or is there still things to configure?
SteveWinwood

It works fine, but the hud shows keyboard buttons unless you play with some stuff. I'll try to find it again.
This is good advice. I would also recommend uninstalling anything that you aren't interested in starting/returning to in the near future. Clean house. Scrolling through your backlog won't be quite as overwhelming. Of course, HP only has 66 games, so it can't be that bad.

Awesome, thanks.

This is what got reccommended here by someone earlier (morningbus?). I played through the whole game with a controller and the normal hud and never had any problems, but I could see some being bothered by it.

Oh, okay. I was familiar with that but thought it was meant for the GOG version and all of that was fixed with the update on Steam. It's no big deal, though, I don't mind the regular hud. Thanks again though.
The lite version in that link only patches the prompts and it's the same thread he crossposted on the steam forums. Fairly certain I used the lite version myself.
Or if you use backloggery, just use the fortune cookie feature to let it choose a game for you to play.
Which has worked out surprisingly well. I've ended up playing some games I wouldn't have gotten around to as quickly just choosing by myself, but that have ended up being some pretty great games.

I would say Puzzle Bots, my boys love watching me play that one.

Puzzle agent is pretty close to layton (the puzzles aren't as good) and I love the "feel" of it. Maybe it just hits pretty close to home (I am always surrounded by snow and gnomes).

Oh, in that case I may just go ahead and use it. Seems rather quick and simple.
For games similar to Layton, there's Puzzle Agent 1 and 2 and Blue Toad Mystery Files.
Games similar to Machinarium, man, where to begin:
The Secret of Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Anything by TellTale
There's much more but that's a good point to start at. Also, check out Tiny Bang Story. It has a similar style to Machinarium but it's a different kind of game. It's a hidden object game with some puzzles thrown in.
Thanks for the recommendation, but I forgot to mention she has a Mac. It severely limits what she can play -__-
What was the program that lets you run Windows? Boot Camp? Parallels? I forget.
edit:
Yeah! She loved Tiny Bang Story too. I'll check out TellTale's games.
edit2: she has puzzle agent as well. she's been playing Braid but she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet.
edit3: so the Mac version The Secret of Monkey Island is available on iTunes, but not on Steam? weird.
Sorry for not replying sooner. I see you sent it several hours ago, but I was away from the computer for several hours and I'm just seeing this now.
Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it.

She might enjoy the Crazy Machines series. It's a different kind of puzzle game, but they're pretty fun.

Hi. Anyone here not own Fortix 2 and not bought the India Gala 2 pack? Fortix 2 is a great little game. I wrote a review with some screenshots here so you can see what it's all about. If you want the code and will actually play the game, here's your chance:

It's cool if a lurker takes the code, so if you see the code here and want it, take it before someone else does! Lurkers, if you take this code, congratulations. If you like reading NeoGAF, I recommend registering. It's a pretty great place to hang out. When you register, make sure you read the rules about email addresses: "You must register with an ISP, education, or workplace email address." A lot of people who get rejected don't follow this rule. We sometimes take a while to approve new accounts, but it's worth the wait.

You should be playing stalker.
It's a good game. You should be out enjoying the sunshine or spending quality time with your loved ones instead of playing fun addictive video games.
