Got bored, so I made a Twitter account. Check it out for random updates if you want - link's on my front page. Might start writing only in Spanish, though.

Seriously, though, why do people like Twitter that much? Maybe it's 'cause I just signed up there, but I still don't see the big deal. Anyone care to explain it for me?





Okay, so lately I've been playing freeware games on the 'net, and one thing I realized is that a lot of 'em are just as good as most console games, if not better. Because of that, I decided to mention my favorite ones right here:


1. Cave Story
A freeware game that plays like Metroid or Castlevania, but with a much better story (at least in my opinion). Really long, really addicting. If you wanna know how it plays, go to my Youtube channel - I have a few videos of me playing some of the hidden leves.

Download the game here: [link] (don't forget to download the translation patch unless you already know Japanese)


2. Chzo Mythos (series)
A point-and-click adventure/horror series made by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw (the guy from Zero Punctuation). Don't let the retro graphics fool you - this game does a good job of scaring people. The story's good, too.

The games in the series are (in this exact order):
-- 5 Days a Stranger - [link]
-- 7 Days a Skeptic - [link]
-- Trilby's Notes - [link]
-- 6 Days a Sacrifice - [link]

BONUS -- Trilby: The Art of Theft (prequel to the series) - [link]


3. Iji
A 2D action game with RPG elements, it tells the story of a girl who wakes up to find herself in the middle of an alien invasion. Challenging game with multiple endings depending on whether you kill everyone or actually take a pacifist route and go without shooting anyone - and for once, that last option's a valid strategy (make it to the end boss with zero kills and you get a stronger weapon to fight him with).

4. the white chamber
Another point-and-click horror game that plays like an adventure game, but feels like Silent Hill. It tells the story of a woman who wakes up with amnesia on an abandoned space station. Genuinely terrifying (at least on the first playthrough), but the true genius comes from the twist ending. I'm not spoiling anything, but...oh my god.

Play it. Play it now. [link]
