Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Throw your lady into arrow traps, sacrifice her at an altar. Y'know, show her a good time.
A bunch of us are playing Spelunky! This is a freeware PC game that recently made the jump to the Live Arcade, so if you've got a 360 give it a shot!
If you're unsure, how about this funny quick look so you can see what this game is all about and also get some laffs
So, arrow traps, right? Fuckin'... arrows. And spiders! Have you guys ran across those rooms that only have spiders? Lots and lots of spiders. It's crazy! Apparently there's like a secret graveyard, and a black market too! I have no idea how to get to them.

Man, if only this was out on PC. And with internet multiplayer.
The quick look made me go back and play the PC version again for these last few days. So many hilarious deaths, like the time I planned an escape route, took an idol in the mines and dodged a boulder only to have it bounce off the edge of the map wall and crush me not a second later
For those who want to know how to be the best at this (also how to get to the black market)
Spoiler:
First off, you need the Eye. You get the Eye by finding the key, and the treasure chest it unlocks has the Eye. It is pretty cool anyways, it allows you to see hidden gems. That is neat (spectacles also do this).
Then you survive to the Jungle levels, and at some point the Eye will start blinking. And then it will start blinking faster. The faster it blinks the closer you are to the black market entrance, which is invariably buried someplace in the Jungle. Get to the black market. If you like killing shopkeepers, the black market is a paradise. Otherwise you gotta buy stuff. The most important thing is the resurrection item. I don't remember what it is, it is sold in the back corner of the black market. Get it. And then don't die.
Then you survive to the ice levels, and there will be a level with a giant fucking stone head. Kill yourself. Seriously. You will respawn inside of the stone head, which will have in it a sweet item that probably does something. It has been a while.
Then you go to mega tomb level. There are mummies with hellish mummy staffs here. Get one of those staffs. First off it is one of the best weapons in the game, as a heat seeking bubble machine of death, and second, you need to be wielding that staff in when you find a weird door. The staff opens that door. Then you are in the city of gold. Which is a level where everything is made out of gold. Waste all of your bombs here, get rich as fuck, and hope you can beat the game still (those bombs would have been useful against the final boss).
Sacrifice mad corpses to the altars. You will get sweet loot, including a regenerating skull chalice of blood and 99 bombs.
Kill shopkeepers. They are always packing a shotgun. This is a really tough thing to do and I am not revealing my tricks to it. You need something pretty powerful to put them down, let's just say that. But at the end of the day, free shotgun. And free everything else they had. And now there is a hit squad chasing you.

I find it funny that the video in the OP is called "quick look" but it's an hour long.
ayuck ayuck
no but really they're all usually that long. dudes actually take you through and show off what the game is about, while being incredibly entertaining about it. hard to do that effectively in 10 minutes or whatever

Well alrighty then. I didn't know there were others.
I should see if Derek ever added more stuff to the PC version of years ago. And it has been literally two years since I've seen him start working on the XBLA version. Guess the dude gets incredibly busy.

This game is basically an abusive relationship in video game form. It keeps hurting you but you always come back.
Protip: do not fuck with the shopkeeps without a very good plan.
Fuck those monkeys
I think I got too good at murdering shopkeepers though
got faith in platformers again
hmmm...
hit jungle 1
I CAN'T SEE A THING fuck you game
You can also find me on Twitter if you want to be inundated with my horrid opinions off the forums, too!

Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
Oh yeah I have been meaning to tell you about the pug damsels
http://atlanticus.tumblr.com/
darkness level AND a spider level
with the only path of progress being going down into a pit with 3+ giant spiders
goddammit
"All" is a good alternative though. One level you get dog kisses and the next you get sexy kisses awwwwright
This game fucking hates me though, fucking boulder traps pissing off shopkeepers everyday
See this sounds awesome to me.
Free on PC!
FREE!
hmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
this cuts into my bluray addiction way too much
I love this game so far.
sounds you need a better addiction
pug addiction
I should really try it again and cross my fingers that the prettificated Xbox version eventually migrates to PC (fat chance)
look man
i can stop any tme i want
its just too pretty to stop yet
Been looking for a new game that kicks me in the nuts since I can’t get any more medals in Trials. Hopefully this does the trick.
