Been following this on GoL for quite some time and finally got around to buying it during the Steam Summer Sale. For the last month I have making a run down the mine shaft once or twice an evening. I usually get killed by the first boss, but I am getting enough gold to upgrade my equipment on the majority of runs. The variety of loot (relics, potions, curses and blessings), enemies and bosses you encounter make each run quite unique and exciting.

The only other game that I have played that has the player construct interactive sentences is Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator. The purpose of the conversation in these games is totally different (insulting someone vs. establishing relationships), but this looks like a game I would really enjoy. Added to Wishlist!

Quoting: Liam DaweMy number 1 though, is of course, Steam coming to Linux back on 2013 because it changed everything.

The year that Steam supported Linux, was the year I joined. Unfortunately it took me over five years to discover GoL and join the fold. Wish I had discovered your website sooner Liam, but I am very happy to be here now.

Happy Birthday GoL!

I hope to get back to playing Iratus: Lord of the Dead this weekend.

I have really enjoyed playing this turn-based roguelike role playing game where you take on the role of The Lord of the Dead leading your undead minions into battle with the humans. Liam wrote a great review of the game here.

After over twelve hours of play time and many hours watching Let's Play episodes on YouTube, I feel as though I am just starting to get familiar with the beautiful interface, the complex mechanics and the fantastic builds that the game has to offer.

For me, CS:GO is one of the many reasons I will be forever loyal to Value. A great game that I play several times a week; although I do not, and likely will never, play competitively.

The cost of entry for this fantastic game: FREE

But, as we all know, Value makes lots of money off of CS:GO. Perhaps you are smarter than I, but I have spent hundreds of dollars on CS:GO skins. As illogical as it may sound, I KNOW that new Famas skin has been the reason my kill to death ratio is getting higher every game.

Give me a "Skin to Win" game any day... Someone else can play and pay for "Pay to Win"

I have been looking at this game for quite some time. It reminds me of a game I played on the Commodore 64 called Hole-In-One. Hole-In-One was a much simpler game, with a top down, low resolution graphics; but it had great "playability".

Thanks for the review. I have moved Golf With Your Friends higher on my list of games to be purchased during the holiday Steam sales.

Sat down to eat lunch at the office today. Checked into GoL and there was a News Punch waiting for me. My lunch tasted much better with a little drink of Punch.

(Liam: Your WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) puns inspired me to take this drinking theme to the next level)

The pictures of the CS20 weapon skins are fueling my foolish cravings for CS:GO skins. What a waste of money... but there is this little voice inside my head that keeps telling me, "The more you pay for a weapon skin, the more kills you will get with that weapon."

I have managed to refrain from buying a knife skin though... Although whenever I see someone in a YouTube video (like Tyler McVicker) that has a skinned knife in hand, I can't help but think, "I wish I was him."

The developers at Game Hero Interactive sure know how to sweet talk a guy. They are saying all the things that a Linux user wants to hear. DRM free option, no Epic for us, "Linux gets same treatment as Windows and OSX"... On top of that, the game looks great! They also mention that if you add Bloody Rally Show to your wishlist, they will give you a launch discount. A guy could get use to this kind of treatment. :)

Quoting: liamdaweI assume then you're following Monster Crown too then? :)

Monster Crown was not on my radar, but it is on my wishlist now. Thanks Liam!
