This weekend is the Black Friday sale at Steam and GoG.com and it’s a great opportunity to get the stuff that you miss from your youth (or just stuff that flew under your radar from a few years back) for a deep discount.
Ever since I was a young man, I played the silver ball.
This was my Dwight Yoakam gateway drug…I like guitars, Cadillacs, and depending on what one considers “hillbilly music,” I like that too.
I’m playing Kosmokrats and having a wonderful time.
This week the randomizer was in a bit of a mood and spat out an excellent record from my youth: RATM’s The Battle of Los Angeles
Going back into the vaults to play an old sci-fi horror game from 2008: Dead Space.
Have you ever had the opener actually being better than the main act? While Dawes was performing, we knew they were something special then.
It’s nice to have games that are based in conflict but not combat.
I know I placed the “underrated” moniker on this album, but that is through the lens of a casual fan of the Beatles, not a fanatic.
I now have a new computer and I wanted to see what it could do and, holy cow. Doom (2016) captures the joy of playing Doom back in 1993.
Earle’s goal on this album was to cut through a lot of that and attempt to understand, not condescend to, the dualities that exists in one state in particular, West Virginia.
The Good News: I built my dream box.
The Bad News: I deleted all of my saved games.
Building a dream PC is like going to Build-A-Bear. Instead of just picking out a hat you’re asking about the CPU, and Motherboard, and…
Disco Elysium is like if David Lynch did Planescape: Torment as a Detective Story in one of the nicer parts of Hell
The Boss decided to look inward in the summer and fall of 1987 after his marriage to actress Julianne Phillips went down the shitter.
It is pretty hard for me to listen to this album and think that the world will not get any new music written by Justin Townes Earle
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is out and it is amazing. If you miss the old PS2 days of the game, you need to pick this up. The gameplay is as good as you remember.
I got sucked back into XCom 2 and am using the Long War mod. Holy cow, this is an amazing game. (And Steam currently has it on sale.)
You are a guy with a machine gun and a handful of other stuff at your disposal and there are aliens attacking your position.
