Happy birthday Cat!

Enjoying the Top Scores episode even more than the latest podcast I have to say. Excellent picks so far!

Cool chaotic episode! Rogue Legacy is awesome indeed btw!

Take it from me: showing a little leg is never a bad idea! :p

Happy Birthday, Crimson Wizard. Your work on AGS is invaluable!

[Planescape: Torment]

These are my non-adventure game suggestions for you (sorted by whatever games came first in their listing on gog.com), a lot of these are classics that you might have already played:

Planescape: Torment Planescape is a must if you are not put off by a lot of reading/dialog in a game, it's a total classic with great atmosphere and story if you haven't played it!

Theme Hospital Do I have to say anything? Total classic. Go for it if you don't mind challenging simulation games and if you haven't played this one yet. It's got nice humor too!

The Witcher Absolutely amazing grown-up RPG. Must-play IF you have a lot of time and are partial to medieval/fantasy settings.

Freespace 2 Brilliant Space Combat Sim, excellent combat and gameplay if you're more into the action-y side of things. Don't like the graphics too much myself but if that doesn't matter to you so much...

System Shock 2 Amazingly scary first-person shooter and total classic. Pick this one up if you like horror and first-person shooters. It's another classic.

FTL: Faster Than Light Great new-ish indie game. Get this one if you enjoy rogue-like games (a combination of very hard difficulty, instant deaths and randomly generated levels) and enjoy sci-fi settings.

Blood An amazing early first-person shooter. If you like old-school shooters with plenty of violence and weapon variety, this one's for you.

Commandos 2+3 Can't say many good things about the third installment but getting both games for ~3 bucks is worth it for the wonderful Commandos 2: Men of Courage alone. A great and challenging strategy game set in WW2. Must play if you're into these kinds of games. Excellent music too - and beautiful 2d environment art.

Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive Very similar to Commandos 2: Men of Courage - except it's set in the Wild West. Go for this one instead of you prefer the Wild West setting over WW2.

Unreal Tournament GOTY Edition The best deathmatch shooter out there. This game is also referred to as Unreal Tournament '99 or Classic and it was by far the best UT game made. It's full of fast-paced action and it has absolutely amazing AI so playing bots is plenty of fun as well. Add a map editor and you get the perfect first-person shooter for people that don't care much for story/single-player games and prefer competitive multiplayer gameplay.

Krush, Kill 'N Destroy A very fun real-time strategy game in the vein of the earlier Command&Conquer titles. Get this if you enjoy real-time strategy games, it's really fun!

Hitman: Codename 47 My personal favorite when it comes to the Hitman franchise. Excellent level design, great atmosphere and amazing music make this a must-play if you enjoy stealth/deception style games.

I want to emphasize that each and every single game I just suggested is a really good game. I would suggest to pick out the ones that sound like they could be up your alley, watch gameplay footage on youtube or wherever and make your decision based on that. Hope this helps.

Well if absolutely nobody else wants it, I would definitely give Cortex Command a try, I've seen pretty good reviews and I love the pixel art style. But I've already gotten HL2 yesterday - so if ANYBODY else has interest, please go ahead and take it!

You rock, good sir, and in fact this entire thread does! If I ever get game copies on Steam, I will make sure to post them here!

I've played Half-Life 2 but only at a friend's place a long time ago and would like to replay it a lot!

Would love it, Stee. Can you PM it to me?

Haha, thank you! Made me feel better!

Thank you, girls/guys! I had a great day, although it is hard to believe that I really turned 25 today. I feel so old!!

You forgot the video link!

Is that Beardy Dude in: HOLY COW is that a dog or a bear?

Yep, correct. Looks like Tramponline was a good minute earlier!

Nope! And yeah, it is quite a beautiful game! If nobody gets it when I wake up tomorrow, I'll give some hints! Don't wanna drag this out too much!

One of my favorite Point'n'clicks!

HA!  You got them BOTH wrong!  That's the beauty of these riddles.  They lead you in one direction, but the answers are in a totally different one.

Hm, well the problem with your beautiful riddles is that they're ambiguous. My answers, despite being extremely obvious, are 100% correct. They fit the conditions of the question. It's just a matter of "HAHA I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY". That, in my humble opinion, does not make a riddle 'good'. Quite the opposite. :p

1. A man does it standing up, a woman does it sitting down, a dog does it on three legs.

Sometimes, when I feel particularly sophisticated, I sit down too...

And I guess the same answer goes for the second riddle, too? Except, you know, number 2.

Thoroughly enjoyed, as always

For what it's worth, either format is fine to me. Maybe mixing it up like you've been doing is the best way to go.
