I deleted mine two weeks ago. I had finished the Light World and was halfway through the Dark World, but when I fired it up, I was too rusty to hang with any of the DW levels. Figured I'd do better to just start from scratch to hone my skills... It worked, I'm about 96% complete at this point. That last 4% is going to crawl though; shit is getting real!

I think it's interesting you brought up Final Fantasy VII... Having played through it recently, I can say, the dialogue is a mess! Plenty of sentences don't even make grammatical sense, let alone all the quirky word choice. Funny enough, I felt that added to the charm. The graphics have all kinds of bugs as well.
For what it's worth, I think games have become so advanced and so pretty that we naturally expect them to exude perfection. As one of the commenters above mentioned, when Skyrim is working, it is an absolutely incredible game, which makes it all the more jarring when there's a technical hiccup. It's obvious when such a pretty game stops functioning as it should. But in a game that looks as ugly as Final Fantasy VII (not hating, just saying), such hiccups become it, and they don't bother me at all. Perhaps more a question of perception?
Definitely! Limbo's got a similar dying mechanic going on, but is far more puzzle-oriented than Super Meat Boy. Very short though; you'll be done before you know it, once you get going.

I love the idea of Fez, but I don't really "get it" yet. I bought it about 5 minutes after Indie Game finished ;) Anywho, I've collected a bunch of puzzle pieces, but I'd really like to get into the world more. It feels like it'd be cheating or against the spirit of the game to read an FAQ about it, so I've just been milling about hoping it'll click.
As far as good indies go: Shadow Complex is awesome, especially if you like Super Metroid or Syphony of the Night. Limbo is fun, but short, Braid is the classic, and fun for the puzzles. Unlike most folks, I wasn't really too impressed with Bastion. The art style was great and the narration was interesting, but it felt way too easy for me; like I wasn't even playing a game.
I'm a huge fan of the experience games of thatgamecompany, like FLoW or Flower, and I really dug Journey. I have to be in a pretty chill mood for any of those, though.
If I had to pick a "Best Indie" for this generation minus Super Meat Boy, it'd have to Minecraft, but I'm guessing you guys are already pretty familiar with that unknown little gem

Thank you! I have to be in the right mood to tackle it... Just this past weekend, I had to break my hand out of a locked-claw formation after trying to beat the same level for 20 minutes straight. Still a bit stiff today ;)
I haven't heard of that one, but I'll be sure to check it out ASAP. Last week, I fired up an Apple IIGS version of Oregon Trail for shits and giggles... Made me feel like I was back in the dingy computer lab of my elementary school (http://www.virtualapple.org/oregontraildisk.html)... One of us died of cholera on the way...

This time around, I reached that "barely made it through" point with VIII. Couldn't do it, so I took a break and came back later and womped through the last 3 or 4 hours as fast as I could. I was ready to be done with that game, for real. Thanks for commenting!
I played XI right until I got to the part when you have to party to level up or get anything done (~ level 12). I enjoyed the game, but waiting around to find someone who will party with you is pretty annoying, all things considered. If I had friends who played MMOs, I could see getting into it, but otherwise, meh. Thank you for following and commenting!
Sweet deal! This was the first thing I did when I got my fat PS3... 500 GB HD for games, and I have a 2TB external HD plugged in for video. The folder system is a bit of an inconvenience (one level of subfolders? really?), but for videos, it's not too bad... I wish you could make playlists... I'd love me a Flanders Simpsons playlist... Or Principal Skinner. Goodspeed on those transfers; they take ages...
Awesome! Any particular RPGs that are your faves? I like a pretty eclectic mix; these days, they come in just about any variety you could hope for.
Thank you for the comment and the follow!
Sweet, man! I hope I can give you a reason to crack into a few of them...
