I’d heard about it before, but never given it a chance, now I know why I was an idiot. Gang Garrison 2 is an hilariously awesome version of Team Fortress 2, minus the 3D, but including TCP/IP (or UDP perhaps) networking. The music is a series of chiptune recreations, the graphics look like the screenshot after the break. Go play the damn game (local mirror), you fool!

A new blogger and an indie game sale!
Ahoy folks! I’m fydo and apparently zakk wants me to write some stuff on this silly blog. I like to hang out in the indie games / opensource games crowd, so I’ll try to share any interesting tidbits I pick up on. Meow?
For instance, I might mention that this weekend there is a weekend sale going on at Steam, featuring 5 pretty awesome indie games. These games are:
- Eets
- Gravitron 2
- I-Fluid
- Multiwinia
- Trials 2
I personally know the developer of Gravitron 2 and he’s a great guy too.
So I’ll talk a little bit about Gravitron 2. It’s got a really retro look and feel to it, tight controls and a difficulty ramp that reminds me of the NES days. There are over 40 levels in the original game and the game author just recently released a map pack which adds even more. There is another update in the works involving the map editor, but I probably shouldn’t reveal too much about that. Suffice to say, Gravitron 2 is more than worth the $5, and within this indie pack, it’s a steal! (figuratively speaking, of course)
I’d love to hear your opinions about any of these games in the comments, so flame away, dear readers.
(Note that I’ll try to avoid turning my posts into advertisements in the future. Hardy har.)
Or in any source engine game, just bring down the console (press the ` key, next to the 1 key) and enter:

Enjoy the lack of idiotic beavis and butthead sound effects!
