I was checking votefinder and I noticed something.



1001 Games!

I checked the start dates on the 5 currently active games

Chill mafia: 6 months, 1 week ago
The Illustrated Police News: 1 month, 1 week ago (close your game Opop!)
Ravenswood Haunting: 2 weeks, 2 days ago

which brings us to 999.

The two remaining games are an Eccogame and Birb's Archer game.

One was started 1 week, 4 days ago and one was started 1 week, 3 days ago.

Which means that the 1000th votefinder game is....



Congratulations on having the 1000 game, Birb! :toot:

My very favourite part of this? If Ecco had started her game slightly earlier, she would have made it.

The game really opened up once I realized that rooms with a big square are rooms you haven't found all the exits in yet.

the last time I tried it, I found myself going to the same rooms over and over again, knowing I was missing something, but not having the faintest clue what it was. It's good, but I'm perhaps not the best player for it.

That probably explains why he was so bad at modding, he was trying to direct a story rather than set up a game.

It may come off like a Portal knockoff but it's far from it, and in fact is very different and clever in its own right. You all owe it to yourselves to give it another go and finish it. It's very rewarding. It's the reason I bought the Talos Principle, and why I want to get The Witness, though I have yet to play the former. I will eventually.

Talos Principle is excellent, A++. I think I might actually rate that higher than Portal, it's super super good.

e: holy poo poo I'd never heard of The Witness either. I really need to up my puzzle game...game

talos has a lot more moments of the game feeling fiddly, when you're not sure if you have the right solution but aren't executing it correctly, or if you're on the wrong track, which is something that's very frustrating!

Portal 2 had some legitimately funny moments and lines, and, more to the point, it didn't actually make any reference to the memes infections dead horse torture chambers that sprung up around the first game.

yeah this is definitely true

One of my favorite part of Talos was going back and finding different solutions to puzzles I had already completed, or finding the intended solution to ones I accidentally did some crazy off the wall approach

If you're the kind of nerd who reads through Mafia games you didn't play in, I think this one would float your boat. The last few days in particular were pretty interesting.

hey look,
a post
portal 2 mechanically and design wise is not as good as portal, some of the puzzles are way weaker, and also you can see where valve was starting to get tunnel vision when it comes to how they design stuff. the design is actually too clean in some places, which is odd because there are still sections where you can kinda get lost.

but i think the jokes and story stuff really covers up its flaws and makes it a better game than portal, but its not a landmark game or a testament game like portal
