I played and bought three of those Indie games last night.
Your Doodles are Bugged! was a fun little game that I would imagine kids would love. If you have little ones, I'd give it a try. It's only a buck too.
I also picked up Samurai vs. Zombie and Yet another Zombie Defense. Both also only a buck and pretty fun for the money. Nothing great, but I had half an hour of fun or so with them. I would compare it to the sort of fun that I Maed a Game with Zombies in it was.

more of you fellas need to watch Community on NBC, no laugh track.. this past week just had so much funny sexual tension between a bunch of the characters and plenty of Mr. Chase on this episode.
Check into the thread for the Halo 2 last play night, handful of people already singing up to play.
Nice show again fellers. Thanks for the Fallout updates, I'm pretty excited for the next instalment and am keeping my fingers crossed that Obsidian does a good job.
This is my official place to get video game news and the Lobbycast has become a very important part of that for me. So thanks for all the effort you guys put in to getting this out to us ungrateful jerks. The Lobbycast ROCKS!

I watch it all the time as does Geoff, so we need to get Lou on board. Then again since he is a theatre guy, that tends to make him a little snobbish. (Hmm, I wonder if Lou reads this).
Just finished the podcast, thanks again for another great one!
Geoff, I definitely have to agree on the AVP MP demo. Not good. Graphics are definitely sub par and the controls just felt clunky. The limitation of the Aliens not having a ranged attack was really disappointing when I tried it with them. Seeing the other two races though, it didn't seem like there was anything particularly anything really cool that would make me want to play this online regularly. It'll definitely be a pass for me. It's too bad, too, I could see some potential.
Even the part where you get to see the "little mouth" action with the alien, those brutal kills that you can do by pressing whatever button ( X?) just take too long so there were several times where I did them and left myself vulnerable to being attacked, which got me killed.
I guess it's a good thing so I know there's one less game I won't have to worry about buying.

Listened to the 'cast on the way out of town yesterday. Great job as usual. I love how when it gets to the Indie game roundup, there's nothing but giggles from you all while you are reading them! Classic. I wonder every time I hear them if the developers read them aloud before publishing them. I think if they did, they would change them.
I have to drive out to the Desert again on Thursday so I'll be listening in soon! Can't wait!
