…That math mistake really bothers me. But an allusion to cancer cell lines? Hilarious.
Was I the only one that assumed Aperture was all female, like their technology?
Here Are Some of the Stories You Pursue in Echo Bazaar
I’m really curious what that plant will grow into…
Are you playing? I’d love to play with you. Comment and add my twitter @toasterfaerie.
Echo Bazaar
This one is really intriguing. Echo Bazaar has a similar format to many passive games: you get some limited number of actions per time period, then you click things and see what happens. However, Echo Bazaar is filled with unique content. Each action advances your own personal story in Fallen London and gradually unlocks mysteries. I’ve been playing for about a month now and I still find myself curious about the world of the game.
Echo Bazaar is still in beta and a bit slow and buggy. To sign up you must use a Twitter account and any people you want to friend in-game you must friend on Twitter. The other major downside is this game has no forums, which is a real pity as it would be really interesting to talk to other players about the things they are unlocking.
Nevertheless, if you like New Weird settings and bottomless mysteries, you have to play this game. Just make sure your nightmares don’t get too high.

+1 Mouse Trap
This is by far the cutest Facebook game I’ve wasted my time with. Dead slow progression but unique as Facebook games go and has a lot of cute details.

I hope someone makes a Pokemon clone.

Akrasia (or "Drink Me?")
Yes, it’s an artsy, 30MB, Windows-only game that will take you 5 minutes to play. It’s still worth it.
The game website gives a full explanation of what the game is supposed to represent but I feel that knowing this going in to it took away a lot from my experience playing. I suggest you don’t read it and just hit the “download now” button.

Drown in your own body fat and…
Came back from one of my finals kinda angry. I worked it off with the short visual novel Cimsoness.
Protip: Don’t go to the gym first.
