I think I went a good 60+ hours before I saw hide nor hair of a rad storm in vanilla Fallout 4. I had no idea they even existed. I thought they were glitches!

Welp, here are the games I personally love and recommend that are on sale to varying degrees anyway!

I’m more interested in reading a book than I am the games. They’re just not pleasant to me... I love horror, but the relentless jumpscares just made the whole experience too on edge for me, though I was appreciative of the thought that went into making the lore. I’ll pick this up.

Persona 5. I remember playing Final Fantasy all throughout my childhood, starting on NES, and being SO excited whenever a new installment was announced. But somewhere around Final Fantasy 9, they just sort of... lost me. I didn’t dislike the game. I played a lot of 10, too. I just could feel my interest waning, and…

Steam’s refund service is pretty good so far. I had to use it when I got my husband and I copies of Ark to play together months ago when the game first came out, and despite meeting the specs, we could NOT get it to work for online play, which was the only reason we wanted it. (We have since bought it again and I can…

I looooooved Grover growing up too. I still do, and really relate to him. He’s creative and enthusiastic, and can get frustrated by things he doesn’t understand or can’t seem to make work right, but damnit, he’ll tackle it from every possible angle until he finds one that works. He’s funny and excitable, but not…

Oh my God, the Brotherhood. I came across Danse while I was adventuring with Nick, and initially I was all for helping them do whatever it was they needed to do with their relay or what have you to get help. I felt bad, because they were outgunned and wounded, and because I can never bring myself to actually do…

“Legendary Mythic Deathclaw”... might as well name it “Oh no oh no OH NO” because that’s what I end up saying whenever I see one.

I need it. I haven’t seriously watched Anime in well over a decade, but from the very first episode, this had me smitten and warmed the cockles of my cold Canadian heart.

In most cases, getting a Green Card reissued takes a lot of time and money. I’m a Canadian immigrant, and I came down when I got married to my husband. I currently have a 10 year Green Card, after which I can apply for permanent residency, or just keep renewing. Simply replacing a Green Card is around $450.00 for me,…

In general, I like Bourdain, especially in No Reservations, but sometimes I think being that relentlessly cynical and acerbic must be exhausting. In one of his non-fiction books (can’t remember which), he mocks a fellow passenger on a first-class flight who actually seems to enjoy the steak they get (which is below…

Trigun! As an anime, it eases you in with a lot of action and wacky slapstick, until things begin to get more and more serious, and you realise the depth and motivation of the characters, what’s at stake, and the meaning behind a lot of things that just seemed silly. It’s a great example of how anime can look really…

A couple years back, my husband and I were at this big sports bar across from the stadium for a baseball game here in Tampa. (If you’re a local, you likely know the one.) It’s super packed, the wait and bar staff are flying everywhere, customers are trying to poach somewhere to sit because EVERY table, stool, and bit…

Ugh, better than the glitch I had earlier. Bug? Oversight? Not too long after the first few missions at the start of the game, I was exploring this one little settlement and followed an NPC into an office/house. I wasn’t sneaking... the door was open, and I was just wandering around. A few seconds later, I realized…

Cyberpower, I believe!

Man, that stings! Especially for the people who actually took time off work or whatever to play... I can imagine how frustrated I would be if I was like, “You know what, I work hard all the time, I have to squeeze in play time whenever I can around responsibilities, let me just take this ONE DAY to play this thing I’m…

I like it! I kind of feel like it draws it out a little, but she’s got a great voice for the style. Postmodern Jukebox rarely disappoints.

Neat! Thanks for the recommendation! :)

I don’t remember hating the movie, but I do remember pausing it at one point and just never getting back to it. It was pretty forgettable in the vein of a lot of the popular medieval-style monster slaying films at the time. I did like the werewolf transformation sequence, though, which I think is about the only thing…

Ahaha! That reminds me of a time I was out wearing a Deadpool t-shirt, and this little old lady pointed at my shirt, grinned, and went, “Oooh, Spider-Man! Go get ‘em, Spidey!” It was too cute. My husband pointed out that Deadpool would probably be okay with being mistaken for Spider-Man so he could get away with more…
