On monday I expended over $200 worth of ammunition into a piece of fucking paper. In order to do this I have to get a ride about an hour away from the city, fill a bunch of paperwork, pick some guns, go through a laughable orientation in a room full of people that I would never want to be near handling a firearm…

I read those new guidelines the other day to double check if anything drastic changed. I have the channel set to ‘Mature Content’ simply so that I dont get in any trouble for swearing at any point, which I try not to do; having a beer at my desk, but not excessive drinking; and using a vape sometimes instead of…

But WHO is taking the pictures!
“..sir, we ..we got another one.”
“How his this possible?!”
“it...its Curiosity, and it has sent us a list of demands.”

While it really comes down to gameplay for me and am willing to try most, the realism format appeals to me more; There is something very raw about it.
However, that ‘raw’ factor also has to be incredibly sandbox. I don’t really like getting restricted by storyline or even real world history (Total War games actually do…

This really goes to show it’s not Blade Runner cosplay until you are doing Blade Runner lighting.

This guy looks like William Sanderson as E.B. Farnum on Deadwood and I cannot unsee it. All I hear in my head is that southern drawl apologizing to Al Swearenger. 

DCS 2.5 landed on wednesday which was a huge engine overhaul for a great flight simulator. I’ve got an entire campaign of missions I am building, I already Tom Clancy’d the heck out of the plot points that the missions revolve around.
Speaking of simulators, my group will be putting some time into the misery simulator…

Geeze. Imagine being in the accounting office next door. I’d have PTSD within a week.

So in the next 8-9 months are we going to see the “hawaii boomers” born after all that spontaneous apocalypse sex?

Waterboarding in Guantanamo Bay sounds pretty rad if you have no idea what either of those things are.
“we’re keeping that open, and we’re going to load it up with bad dudes.”
Bad dudes that can shred! 

In high school i tried the whole pirating thing and it sucked for the most part. I also had 56k until I payed for my internet because my parents actually thought that the standard internet was more pricey and refused to check (eventually 56k was literally canceled on us and we got whatever was standard in 2008 for the…

I try to remind myself that $60 for something you may sink 100 hours into is an incredible bargain versus a large portion of people dropping $400 in ammunition on a day at the range or buying 2 cases of beer, heck even a couple buckets of golf balls.
I think a lot of us got so used to being able to download games for…

Escape from Tarkov!!!!
This game has completely refreshed me for the battle royal post-Dayz survival genre.
I reset my profile last night to clean up my mistakes and start fresh, also upgraded to the highest beta tier for the better starting gear (worth).
Excited for after work and the rest of the rainy weekend!

The colour scheme reminds me of The Future is Now; my favorite kickstarter art book yet.
edit: I looked back to The Future is Now, this post the colours are FAR richer. I guess TFiN is a bit desaturated. Despite the theme similarities, the line work is very unique between the two artists. 

I took a gamble in convincing my girlfriend to play this with me since it has been sitting in my house for ages with nobody to play it with. I say gamble because I was not sure if I remembered it well enough to be able to streamline a game for us without digging through rules for hours.
Well as soon as we started it…

I’m gonna go on and put out a weee public service announcement and say that if you dont already have DCS on steam, try getting the standalone instead from their website. Generally a steam release comes secondary for modules with DCS.
I know they are trying to get it better lined up with simultaneous releases but it…

You dont notice at all, especially if you know your joystick well enough. I have mine centre-mounted. The only issue is that in older aircraft with less radar or RWR, visual spotting is far more difficult due to the lower resolution.

I absolutely love the paint smears that convey motion, especially the second image (blue knight).
That Overwatch concept is pretty rad too, I like how her forward leg ends in an elegant foot while the lunging leg is one of those springy prosthetic-type feet. 

I finally got into Prison Architect, excited to continue the madness. Really loved some of the sound design in regards to how rowdy the prisoners get, the rattling cups and spoons in the dinner hall was great.
Also, Escape From Tarkov has been circulating my usual gaming crew, I may have to bite as well..

Part of me also realizes, and I dont really care to admit it often, that maybe I have just been playing this game for over a decade and should let it go.
