I tried the motion controls for just a bit, and I’m not a fan so far. Perhaps that will change, but after a few days of getting used to the controller, and more importantly finding/making custom control templates...I’m liking it more than any of my other gamepads. Read more

Or you just buy it with windows and you have a $400 machine you can use to play some hugely popular games (MOBAS, Many MMO’s, Counterstrike probably). Read more

Meanwhile, after reading this, I have added this skill to OkCupid:

I’m partial to Rampage Jackson the Repairer video:

I watched Many A True Nerd play this. Before I watched the video I was curious because of the syntax of the name (I love programming). As I watched him play it, I thought it was kind of interesting, but not worth much to me. Then he got to the hacking and suddenly I was ready to shell out money, regardless of what the… Read more

Sweet glad to know it is a good game was contemplating getting it from GoG and your article sold me on getting it Mr. Grayson. Read more

And who’s to say that all the reviews that were reposted weren’t just the same people giving the game a positive review for compensation? IMO, a… Read more

I have nothing but gushing praise for this game, but I have to hold myself back or I’ll spoil literally everything Read more

Hey y’all! Randy of Tiger Style here, creative director, sometimes adventurer, and sometimes boring internet researcher.

I lived in Brattleboro for years, so I find this amusing. None of this stuff is made up. The Wells Fountain is real, so is Canal St. and the town played host to any number of... let’s call them “eccentric characters” throughout the years. The “Abbot of Canal Street” is a particularly interesting turn of phrase; Canal… Read more

This is fascinating and at least not as scary as the Kanye Quest cult. Read more
