The link doesn't work for me, is it the same as everynoise.com?

I've been mostly using Spotify and some Dutch review sites. I still have a Last.fm account but don't use it much anymore, Spotify has mostly replaced it.

Sounds fine for now!

Yeah, this article sounds like it's written by someone trying to justify his purchase

The term "progressive" is a little weird in this context, based on the progressive rock from the sixties. For me, it means music that doesn't use the standard song structures, has complex melodies or rhythm, and tends to have longer songs. But it's a hard to define genre!

Symphony X is one of my favorite bands, you might also like Pagan's Mind. Awesome guitar riffs, great songs, vocals take some getting used to but he's a great singer. Also one of my favorite bands. Check out the album Enigmatic:Calling.

I tend to like competitive games, but I like my coop games to:

  • be difficult, or have a difficult mode. To me, there's no fun in winning on the first try
  • to foster table talk OR a different kind of fun player interaction. That's why The Lost Expedition didn't click for me, it felt like just throwing some cards on the table.

That said, I enjoy Pandemic (a classic), Hanabi, Just One, and Magic Maze. I haven't really tried heavier ones but I'd love to play Spirit Island some day.

And for very young kids, My First Orchard is great!

TIL that Viral is not the only game with this theme!

My Spanish isn't great, but looks like a nice overview! I haven't heard of Virus!, I'm guessing it's a Spanish game?

Anything with tiles works well, like Hive, Hanabi Deluxe, or Carcassonne. Dice games also work well, such as Pickomino. And there's Crokinole, if your table can fit it

That's a good rule! I try to maintain "1 game in, 1 game out"

I have not, but I've heard good things. Probably too expensive for what it is for me, though.
