Here it is, the first Independent Game on the Abandonware section!
Dink Smallwood is a hillarious game made by RTsoft in the same style as Zelda or the first Diablo games, called isometric view:

The graphics are kinda weird, and back then the game had several bugs, but the dialogues and story are absolutely hillarious.
If I remember correctly, I didn’t finish it because a bug locked my character in some part of the game… I think it was an Orc village or something. Still, had lots of fun with it.
And it seems there’s a “recent” 2006 update that fixed most bugs (the game is originally from 1997).
It’s worth giving it a shot, specially for the humor.

I wrote sometime ago about the PSP rhythm game with Vocaloid’s Hatsune Miku, and I remember even questioning how good the dancing was, looking more like motion capture than something computer generated… and I was right.

Only I didn’t knew the motion capture process was made by 13yr old idol Yui Ogura! o_O

From the movie Cruel Intentions, Comin’ up from Behind is a music by Marcy Playground

You know those songs that for some reason are part of your life and will follow you forever?
The ones you always get back to on happy and sad days, like an old friend?
Well, this is one of those for me, and part of a series of posts I’m calling my permanent playlist.

A long time ago I made a post about NicoNico Douga Kumikyoku, a video that compiled tons of musics, images and animations that were all related to the japanese otaku society… now I bring you NicoNico Douga Ryuuseigun Chaos, which follows the same spirit!

Most of us won’t be able to recognize much, since there are tons of 2ch references we probably won’t know, but there are some memes and animes I already made posts about here on this very blog.

Mars TD Plus, by Taro, is an awesome tower defense style game in which you have to defend your base from aliens.

It’s japanese, so you’ll find some japanese text in the middle.
But it’s fairly easy to understand and play the game even if you don’t know japanese, which is also my case.
I’ll try to help out with the stuff I already found out.

DarthGollumKong here solved the number one problem geek gamers have with Rock Band and Guitar Hero 4: The lack of friends to play the games with.

Self entitled One Man Rock Band, he manages to play all four parts (bass, guitar, drums and vocals) by himself!
It’s probably more like a workout than having fun with the game though… still, pretty nice!
Though you know, DUDE, when you’re playing Ramones you have to shout the lyrics with full lungs!
