Dreamwidth-only icon post :p

Slightly topical to the icon, I am extremely enamored of puzzle/exploration platformer games right now--Nifflas' games most of all, but I am working my way through the more puzzle/exploration focused games from this list and just bought Braid last night (though I foolishly did so right before going to bed, so I haven't seen anything more than the opening screen--which was SO BEAUTIFUL. I love that art so much.) I'm pretty sure I like a specific subset of platformers that are more about puzzles than reflexes, but I don't know if this is a codified sub-genre or what.

I'm still a big fan of room escape games, but not enough to play mediocre ones religiously, and I haven't seen any really spectacular new releases lately.

holyschist's default icon makes me wish that this image's detail was more parseable at icon size. But I'm uploading it anyway. The source article/illustration is really something.

(ETA: edited icon a little bit. Text is bigger, at least. Also: How many Noms in Nom Nom Nom? claims I am lazy, which I definitely do not dispute.)
