OH I BET I WOULD! IZ IT CREEEPY?
I can't do sarcasm on the internet.

On topic: What is it with girls and Dress up games? I get that with them, you can create you're own persona, or whatever, But really? They're not that great.

On topic? Which topic would this be?

Silly WoF, don't you know that dress up -games are defined art?

Wings of Fire 04-09-2011 02:31 PM

That's stupider than me and my porn games.

That's just plain dumb.

Translation: Some girl I know plays dress up games. I want to touch her vagina, so I started playing dress up games too. Unfortunately, she now thinks I'm a faggot, and won't let me touch her vagina.


On topic. What is it with asians and Math games? I get that with them, you can understand the totality of the universe, or whatever, but really? They're not that great.

What is it with black people and fried chicken games? I get that with them you can learn to make fried chicken, or whatever, but really? They're not that great.

What is it with guys named Joe and Japanese porn games? I get that with them you can look at young girls and pretend it's not pedophilia, or whatever, but really? They're not that great.

Aquaria.

An absolutely stunning game. The graphics are beautiful, the music is brilliant and the story is... well, hard to explain - killing the bosses made me feel awful, especially the unnecessary ones.

I played most of the way through and then deleted my save files accidentally, and the second time through it felt incredibly strange. I was so drawn into the story the first time that it felt unreal the second, as though I was living my life a second time, knowing what was going to happen - and just to reach a point, rather than to enjoy it. Returning to the first, peaceful areas and Naija's (the main character's) home after I'd been exploring forgotten cathedrals and battling ancient gods filled my with a weird feeling of nostalgia.

Anyway... I don't know if it's the same for anyone else, but Aquaria made me feel incredibly sad while I was enjoying the game at the same time. It's pretty much art, IMO, and definitely a great game.


Also, if no one wants to buy it I can PM them my Humble Indie Bundle key, thus allowing them to download Aquaria for free (along with World of Goo, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra, and Samorost 2). Which reminds me, definitely check out Samorost 1. It's almost certainly art.

Of course they are, dear. Of course they are.

Man, it'd be totally fucking hilarious to get you to play umineko or higurashi.
