The same is true at home. My husband and I have both been under a ton of stress from our jobs lately, and sometimes we unintentionally create a feedback loop of SUPER STRESS. Sometimes he’ll be complaining about his job, so I’ll keep quiet about venting about mine and bury it down because I know he’s stressed, and…

My main memory of Sanitarium was actually how un-scary it was. It was a lot of fun, but it was extremely campy and melodramatic, sort of like if you let someone who wrote old time radio plays design a horror game for tweens. I’m sure I’ll check this out at one point, though I’d expect to see “holographic stripper”…

If you’re ever curious, most Early Access games give lengthy descriptions as to what is currently complete, what’s missing, how they plan to incorporate it, and so on in the blue “Early Access” warning under all EA titles. Just click “read more” to see it all. :) For Layers of Fear, it reads as follows,

Sadly, the best thing to happen at the grocery store whose bakery I managed happened on a day off for me. Apparently this guy came in and was just, like, super nasty to everyone. One of the young stock girls went to ask if he needed help because he was sort of aimlessly wandering around, and he got so rude and…

The angle is weird because, again, she’s twisted and bent backwards in an odd way that makes her body look like a boomerang and the already exaggerated muscles look even more cartoonish because of the way everything is thrust and bent, emphasizing the unnatural proportions and bulges. In motion, I’m sure it looks…

Yes, I know the muscle it’s supposed to be, it’s just weird, and coupled with the outward bow her body is doing towards the camera, makes it look like she’s snapping backwards. Again, it’s just a weird shot from a weird angle. It happens. :)

Oh, wow. Great Kindle sale! Definitely pick up Gone Girl... it’s got a lot of twists, and while some of them are predictable, it’s really brilliantly constructed. (Not sure about that ending, but a lot of people like it.) My husband really liked Ready Player One, and I thought it was fun, but had a tendency to spend…

Point Lookout really was a solid experience all around, if a bit dependant on heavy firefights over more varied gameplay. They really went all-out with the enemy design, and some moments were fantastically creepy, like when you’re hallucinating bits of your character’s warped ideas of their past. I’d agree with your…

Dude, people can have different opinions. Me pointing out that this particular piece of artwork looks strange even WITHIN its expected distorted style doesn’t mean I dislike that style of art. You’re getting strangely defensive over me going, “That’s a weird random bulge and position”, when by your own reasoning, your…

I brine both my turkeys and my chickens, and I’ll never go back. Sooooo juicy! (I made a turkey for Thanksgiving last year when my mother-in-law came down and brined it... she was impatient and cut into it before it had a chance to rest, and it was literally like a bucket of juice dripping down the counter. So much…

Yes, I’m well aware. That doesn’t mean I can’t point out that she’s got weird bulges and a warped spine. “It’s a video game” does not exclude something from criticism.

Holy god. What’s going on with her spine and that huge bulge in her upper back in that preview screenshot?

Looks good! Last Halloween was fairly light on good scary indie releases compared to previous years (not counting the fantastic The Uncle Who Works for Nintendo), and this year’s crop looks pretty meaty. I love the art style! The gameplay does look VERY Lone Survivor, which isn’t a bad thing, though I’m more…

Love Steven Universe, and so does my husband. One of my favourite things is how well they nailed the dumb cat behaviour Lion has, like his expressionless staring and movement. This is a fantastic poster, and I’d love to have it on my wall. Beautifully drawn, coloured, and authentic!

A waitress once told my husband and I a story about how she’d been flagged down by a table that wasn’t hers. She goes over, bracing herself to deal with impatient or angry customers, and instead the family is like, “We just overheard the family you’re serving over there. They were telling their kids to leave some food…

Aw, wish I had the console for this. It looks like fun. The archetype characters reminds me of Obscure... it came out in the mid 2000s for PC and some consoles, and it featured a group of teens stranded in a school. Naturally, scary things start happening, and there are tons of campy twists and big conspiracies,…

We live in Florida, and days here these past few months have always been 92+ and so humid it’s like breathing syrup. My husband runs a retail gardening store, and a week or so ago, one of his employees came in from a break and said there was a dog in a car outside. There was only one couple in the store, so my husband…

I really can’t advocate either building a PC or getting one built FOR you enough. My husband had mine built for me from a company that lets you pick every part four years ago, and to this day, I can still run brand new games like The Witcher 3 on maxed epic settings without a drop in framerate, though mind you I have…

My husband and I were at a bar/chain restaurant for lunch a week or two ago. When a family is seated in the bar area, the bartender, a friend of ours, is the one who serves them. So this family with a few adults and a bunch of kids comes in and sits down, and she’s running back and forth, getting refills, re-making…

All I want is Unbeatable Banzuke back. I’ll give you all the rest, just give me back my crazy obstacle courses with high possibility of physical injury.
