Chaos is a unique and addictive single- and multiplayer game. To advance in arcade mode slow down the surrounding antimatter particles with your forcefield until their trails disappear.

DESTRUCTION TANK is a TPS tank shooting game of full 3D. As for this game of the simple TPS-style, a single play mode and the multi-play with greatest 4 of all the 6 stage are possible by five kinds of tanks. I do not have any problem even if there is not an opponent by a multi-play. Bot makes up for lack of number of people and becomes your opponent.

The Last Cannonball (80) (Jhample)

I dig the new show notes layout with all the indie game info

I figured it would be good for the people who can't decipher our readings!

I love it!

Didn't get to listen to any of the podcast yet, but I do like the layout of the show notes, too!

I have listened to each of the last 5 or 6, so her are my thoughts:

Things I like:
Shownotes
Weekly format so you know what to expect
Good length
Always full of information

Things to consider:
Try having guests to mix it up - bring on some PGLers to reviews a game or movie, etc.

Maybe there is a few too many inside jokes. Or maybe I am just so new here I don't get them. It gets a little too much for people who are new to PGL. But I can understand that it is funny to you, so it is not that big of deal.

Here is a pretty funny clip of the Indie game, I Made a Game with Zombies. As Kotaku states, the song in the game is worth $1 alone. You guys should check it out!

hahahahahaha THAT is awesome. "WELCOME.... TO MY GAME....."

I love that song! I want that on Rock Band. Today!

hahahaha. " I made.............. this game................. with ZOMBIES..... IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
