Started playing with some of the features in Typo 4.0. Like images in the sidebar! Whoo! I’ve been waiting for that for ages. I can finally add the rotating “Recommended Games” thing to our site. TIGSource was getting so jealous of Indygamer and Jay is Games!

There are only a few games in rotation right now, but I’d like to hear what other games we’ve covered that you think deserve to be there. These games should be fun, first and foremost. Which games would you show someone to introduce them either to that genre of game or to independent gaming in general?

Look for more tweaks, fixes, and additions in the future! I’m really amped about improving the site now. Throw your suggestions at me, too.

I tossed a suggestion at yr inbox a little bit ago. But it’s not exactly for the front page.

As for the games in rotation… How far back do you want to go? It could be cool to showcase the cream-of-the-crop type stuff, but maybe that’s better off as a feature or ongoing list or something.

Also, I’ve liked the few times when a quote from the comments has wound up in the Pulse. Maybe have a Quote of the Moment type thing as a separate sidebar entry?

I’ll get back to your e-mail right now. Good suggestion, btw. :)

For the games in rotation, let’s go all the way back in the Way Back Machine. As for an ongoing list, I added a “Highly Recommended” category for cream-of-the-crop stuff.

Oh, cool! It’d be nice to be able to point inquisitive folks to one place.

Could make family reunions slightly less awkward.

Hm. We don’t have an entry for Cave Story.

Perhaps retroactive articles should be made for the sake of inclusion in the Highly Recommended category?
Derek

Yeah, I was just thinking that. :)

Cools. I may do some of those, then.

After I get some sleeeeep. (It’s 5AM here.)

I thinks the amazing “Keith Goes Painting” (www.wolfysgames.com) should be included in my unbiased and completely independent opinion on the subject of highly recommended games… ahem.

I think you should only rotate bad games to set TIGSOURCE apart from all the other gaming sites.

Apart from Alawar, obviously. ;)

Commander Keen! Knytt!

I also recommend Notrium for the randomly recommended list :)

flOw is my favorite browser game.

You got a real purty mouth there, ithamore. ;)

Also, does this new blogophication software support them “type in the letters” things so we can pre-emptively unpornify messages?

Yes, that’s right, Captain Chas. :)

My mouth is by no means “purty.” It is simply a mouth.

DDD, I don’t know whether or not you are suffering some sort of delusion or simply trying to construct a joke, but I do know that a majority of posts made online are misinterpreted. So, whether it is your lack of communication or my lack of understanding that makes your comments toward me quite rude, I’m not sure. But I do know I like flOw better than most browser games, and everything at http://www.eyezmaze.com/ is rather spiffy as well.

I say ithamore is a computer!

Sure, I’m a computer: a biochemical computer with a sub-quantum processing core. Which is why I find signatures such as “there are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t” to be quite humorous.

The “10 types of people” thing is commonly misunderstood. It actually goes like this:

I always thought that was how it was supposed to go ;)

I wouldn’t mind seeing Counterclockwise in the sidebar :)
http://www.tscreative.net BMcC

But everyone else would.

@nenad: Pimpin’ ain’t easy.

And I was just kidding, of course. :)

@Shabadage: Almost as if it were _already there._ ;)
Jeff Lindsay

We should do video reviews like this dude:

DrDerekDoctors

I wasn’t rude, I said you mouth was purty! That’s *nice*.

I shall go and have a cry now…

Also you like casual games so you’re the antichrist. ;)
