I'm big loving idiot for stuff like special edition game boxes, and limited edition whatever poo poo. I buy this stuff knowing how stupid it is, but I still do it with franchises I really like (like Doom or poo poo like that).

But actually buying the blood of the game designer for shitloads of money? I mean....this is so loving off the chart.

What do you even do with it? I never bought blood, but I guess it gets bad quite fast....do you put it in the freezer or what?

Give me stupid tin cans for my games with cheap chinese toys next to it, but please, oh please, don't give me body fluids from the team!!!!

You already know if chris announced the dev team will fill a vial with random body fluids that Clifford would be the first to proudly show off his new hermetically sealed glass display case of semen samples from Chris, Lando and Ben

Star Trek Bridge Crew: This is what the commando's think they're going to get. If you can get 4 people in this, the experience is untouchable. Each player solely in charge of either helm, navigation, engineering, or the captain's chair, you're 100% stuck in your silo and completely dependent on clear communication amongst the crew to get anything done. Helm needs more power to engines to outrun a threat, but you need to keep that power in shields to withstand a few more hits? Trying to determine where to allocate your limited repair personnel when multiple critical systems are failing? Get ready to communicate that problem to the captain, then have a crisis of conscience when he orders you to make the exact wrong call, where disobeying orders saves the ship, and obeying them kills you all. Not too many games can deliver that experience.

Can confirm, Bridge Crew is a lot of frantic fun with friends (or randoms, I guess).

Scruffpuff posted:

Some of these aren't indies but still things I'd recommend. I have quite a few titles, some are very good and atmospheric (Paranormal Activity for example) but these are the ones I keep coming back to over and over again.

I think Serious Sam is next on my purchase list, but I'm open to recommendations.

Nice one, yeah I've messed with Waltz and Vanishing, and picked up Bridge Crew for a fiver (thanks that certificate gently caress up by Oculus).

Would def recommend these two from above if you haven't already:

Vertigo was made by a teen and is both as glitchy and as exuberant as you'd expect. Great realisation of his own ode to gaming tropes and a surprisingly coherent adventure / shoot-fest / minor puzzler.

Interkosmos is a burner experience that's worth playing without the hints and just enjoying the tongue-in-cheek Cold War chat as you land your lander.

Onward if you're into an Arma-lite take on infantry. Reloading the Support weapons is ridiculous, but totally makes sense.

On bigger budget dev, def try out these if you haven't:

The Payday 2 freebie DLC. Really solid port. Some interactions are glitchy, but essentially it's the whole game working. (Even cars in theory, although haven't tried that). Controller-led motion in there so you can swank about the place.

And like Fallout 4 or Minecraft (via Vivecraft) if you're into either (and don't mind melting bits of your machine and twiddling inis on the former)

And I'm sure you have but: Superhot, Robo Recall, Echo Arena, Dirt Rally (think it's on another 80% sale at the mo?), all that stuff.

EDIT: Oh yeah and like Elite right. Although it's no Star Citizen.

It's been largely overtaken by a bunch of playalikes, the most egregious being space pirates and zombies 1/2, but their blogs are always pretty good. This one, http://fractalsoftworks.com/2015/07/26/the-trouble-with-greebles/, is actually pretty interesting in terms of detailing.
