I only lost it once the badass accountant shouted “He’s out of bullets! I’ve been counting!”

Pretty sure it’s a callback to this, and that makes me incredibly happy. I laughed my ass off the entire time watching this when I played through the episode last night. Read more

Finally got xeodrifter and it's awesome. Definitely a game that you can't really understand how good it is til you're playing it. And of course I'm always keeping up on the hilarity that is Reverse Side. I think it's technically in early access right now but it's been an ongoing joke due to its at times weekly delays.

I’ve been addicted to Mount and Blade: Viking Conquest “Reforged Edition” lately, they just released the free patch/upgrade and it makes some major additions/improvements. The game finally feels complete! Mount and Blade has easily become one of my favorite hybrid genre games of all time. Hard to put a label on a Read more

Started playing on a modded ARK: Survival Evolved server, great fun!

I got sucker punched by Craft the World - bought it on sale, just got around to it. I love 2D minecrafty things, but they’re all pretty sad and rough and glitchy except Terraria, Starbound, and now this. Once you get used to the idea that you’re very rarely doing things directly (and that takes time) having an army of

Sub-muthafuckin-nautica. That and rocket league. New sub update lets us build moonpools and observation bubbles on our bases. Not even a finished game and its spectacular.

That is pretty damn cool, although if the feature had been fully implemented I would have liked to see it with a generic “ghost” voice for each race/gender, so you could wind up seeing ghosts of non-generic NPCs, they just wouldn’t have dialog specific to their lifetime. Read more

The mod will function as a “lore friendly” addition to Skyrim with its own “intricately detailed” city, a non-linear murder mystery story that involves time travel, and 30 characters with 1200 voiced lines of dialogue

There are several “expansion-sized” mods for Skyrim out already. Falskaar, Wyrmstooth, Beyond Reach, The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal, Moonpath to Elsweyr, etc. The Forgotten City looks competent enough, but nothing particularly special, either. And, personally, I’m always a little nervous about mods that announce their Read more

Now playing

There are a few AI characters that do that for whatever reason. I got stuck in a season with Stinger, that idiot.

It’ll be interesting to see how the album comes out, because Coheed style wise has been all over the map, touching different styles/genres like you said. I’ve always liked all their stuff (even though YotBR was kind of weak), so I’m not too worried about the album at its whole because Coheed puts out solid stuff. Read more

I’m a huge Coheed fan, even got to see them in tour for No World For Tomorrow. I’m interested in seeing their first non-conceptual album. I just hope it’s not all poppy like this song. It’s not that I don’t like this song (I do!), but I like their previous track record of 1 or 2-ish pop-sounding songs per album. Read more
