JEMISIN IS VERY GOOD, BUT I CAUTION YOU: ONLY IF YOU ARE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO DOES NOT MIND NOT REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHY ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING UNTIL THE LAST ~25% OR SO OF THE FINAL BOOK, WILL YOU LOVE THIS. IT IS POSSIBLE YOU MIGHT LOVE IT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE BEING IN THE DARK THAT LONG, BUT BE AWARE.

I HOPE TO FINISH TRAILS OF COLD STEEL 2 AND START MASS EFFECT LE. I HAD THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN LAST WEEK, BUT IT TURNED OUT THE DEFINITELY FINAL DUNGEON (WITH A FOUR-PART FINAL BOSS FIGHT!) WAS ACTUALLY THE THIRD TO LAST DUNGEON, AND HAS TURNED FINISHING A GAME I WAS ENJOYING INTO SOMETHING OF A SLOG.
THE DEGREE TO…

PICKETT ALSO GETS CREDIT FOR HONESTY. LEGEND GOES WHEN ASKED WHY THE CHARGE FAILED, HE REPLIED “I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE YANKEES HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.”

THE “HEADHUNTERS” LOOK VAGUELY ROMAN. PERHAPS THAT IS JUST AN ACCIDENT OF THE SCENE. OR NOT.

THIS REMINDS ME OF A RAY BRADBURY SHORT STORY, LATER TURNED INTO A NOVEL. THE SHORT STORY WAS CALLED “THE CREATURES THAT TIME FORGOT, AND THE NOVEL WAS CALLED “FROST AND FIRE”. HUMANS HAD LANDED/CRASHED ON A PLANET WHERE INTENSE RADIATION CAUSED THEM TO AGE RAPIDLY. PEOPLE WERE BORN, LIVED, AND DIED WITHIN ~8 DAYS. A…

I GENERALLY ENJOY WES ANDERSON, BUT THIS TRAILER IS LEAVING ME COLD FOR SOME REASON. I CANNOT QUITE PUT MY FINGER ON WHY.

APPARENTLY HUMANITY IS CAPABLE OF MASS TIME TRAVEL, BUT STILL USING OLD-STYLE SLUG THROWERS TO FIGHT WITH. I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE LOSING.

THE “GUN AS A PENIS” SECTION IS GOING TO BE UNINTENTIONALLY HILARIOUS.

AND PEOPLE ARE STILL RELEASING MODS FOR IT. IMPRESSIVE, REALLY.

IT DESERVES RECOGNITION, BUT SOME PART OF MY ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION REBELS AT THE IDEA OF MS FLIGHT SIMULATOR BEING A “GAME.” I AM ALSO NOT INTERESTED IN ARGUING OVER WHAT CONSTITUTES A GAME. NOT TODAY, ANYWAY. THIS IS JUST A WEIRD TIC OF MINE, PLEASE CARRY ON.

THIS BRINGS TO MIND THE RATHER PECULIAR HOT WHEELS:WORLD RACE DIRECT-TO-VIDEO MOVIE AND ACCOMPANYING GAME. I HAD FORGOTTEN THESE THINGS EXISTED.

I AM NOT CERTAIN WHY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO REALIZE THAT THIS SCENARIO (THE ZOMBIE VEGAS HEIST PART, NOT THE BITTEN ZOMBIE PENIS PART) WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT MOD OR DLC FOR FALLOUT:NEW VEGAS.

WELL WRITTEN. AS A COUNTERPOINT, THE KEEP IN DA:I WAS AN ABSOLUTE CHORE TO NAVIGATE.

WILL START TRAILS OF COLD STEEL 2 ON THE PC. IT IS A FUN ENOUGH STORY SO FAR, BUT I AM CURIOUS...DO YOU EVER GET TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT MATTER IN TERMS OF THE PLOT? ANYWHERE IN THE SERIES?

THIS MAY BE AN UNPOPULAR OPINION, BUT I FOUND THE HEADER IMAGE TO BE VERY AMUSING. PERHAPS EVEN A DELIBERATE EFFORT TO DO WITH A MAN’S BODY WHAT IS TOO OFTEN DONE WITH A WOMAN’S IN PHOTO AND DRAWN MEDIA, CONTORTING IT IN BIZARRE WAYS IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE SEXUAL IMPACT.

THIS SEEMS THE REVERSE OF THE NORMAL SP GAME SNIPER PROBLEM. USUALLY, THE PLAYER IS THE SNIPER AND IS SPOTTED AFTER ONE OR TWO SHOTS, NO MATTER HOW FAR AWAY THEY ARE, NO MATTER HOW WELL IN COVER THEY ARE, AND DESPITE HAVING THE SILENCER.

AH, FRESH AIR. VERY NICE.

I LIKED AWKWARD ZOMBIE TODAY.

SEXUAL ABUSE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LOT LONGER THAN GAMING OR A GAMING COMMUNITY (SEE VIRTUALLY ANY GROUP WHERE ADULTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE INTERACT), SO I DO NOT THINK THERE IS ANYTHING SPECIAL ABOUT GAMING THAT CREATES THIS SORT OF INDIVIDUAL. WHAT GAMING *MIGHT* DO IS HAVE A LARGER SUBSET OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE TOOLS…

STRANGE. I READ THOSE “RUMOURS” LYRICS AS BELONGING TO THE BOBBY BROWN SONG “MY PEROGATIVE”. THEY ALMOST SCAN THE SAME WAY AS WELL.
