There is totally this movie coming out, called Elysium, that essentially rips this game off so hard. Like, exact same plot, exact same situation... it's really eerie. I was watching the trailer and was like "they're making a Deponia movie?" the entire time.

Admittedly I've only played about half of the first game (I'm well stuck on the pigeon puzzle), but I don't think I'd call it a rip-off. Segregation/disparity is a pretty common theme in storytelling, and it's almost guaranteed that two different people are gonna come up with a very similar idea somewhere down the line. Besides, this film's planning had actually taken place in early 2011, making it pretty hard for the people behind it to 'rip off' a 2012 game.
I know, I know... but I mean, there were just so many similarities. Junk planet vs. high tech wonderland where the rich people live (called Elysium), grungy guy determined to get there, probably a pretty girl at some point.
I dunno. All I could think of was Deponia the entire time I was watching the trailer.
I've been debating about Evoland myself... it's like... the conversation that happens in my head:
"Don't buy anything until sales!" - "But it looks nice! And it's not like it will be cheaper on sales, won't it?" - "You've already made that mistake once! Wait until sales!" - "But..." - "Wait!" - "But..." - "Wait!" - "But..."
It looks interesting. I'm going to wait for the summer sale I think. I have enough games to play. If it doesn't come up then, well someone can make faces at me I guess.
My problem is "do I want to get Evoland on Steam or GOG?", knowing full well that Evoland could eventually show up as a Steam code in one of the PWYW indie bundles.

Honestly, the damn thing isn't even finished and it's already half price! What's the world coming to?
Weekend Deals:
If you don't own either Witcher games, then now's a good time to try them (y'know, if you want to).
Again. Hmm.
Here's the week-long deals. Once again they're pretty good, so I really don't understand why Valve doesn't make a bigger deal about these.

But it's written and directed by Neill Blomkamp, so it might be a good idea to give it a chance, at least.

...still too expensive in my book, but whatever.
Midweek Madness deals:
Mark Of The Ninja is still 100% recommended. Especially at this price.
Yes, have some.
I fully endorse this as well.
Thanks, Vinz.

Ah, that woman is wearing clothes! I am immediately disinterested in this game!

Maybe you only see them in the game.
I think I'm in the minority, but I really enjoyed this game on PS3 and heard it's even better on PC.

Still wondering which side is going to win.
Yesterday's was Sniper Elite V2, but I guess no-one cared about that.
Here's the Paradox Weekend Deal of the Day. It's Magicka. AGAIN.
