'I actually enjoyed "Firewatch" as a story, although I'm still not sure if a game was the right medium to tell it in.'

I bought Myst at Lechmere in Cambridge (shout out to Boston folk) not long after it first came out. I liked the Maze puzzle. Of course, the clues completely escaped me, so I mapped the maze step by step*. I. Mapped. The. Whole. Damn. Maze. ::dope slaps self:: Second time through it became painfully obvious what I…

This gives an interesting twist to "Nutty Buddy".

As a kid, my favorite was a spaghetti sandwich. Two buttered pieces of scali bread with spaghetti and meatballs inside. I guess my growing body needed carbs.

Doom took a lot of great things first used* in Wolf 3D, but to better effect to my mind. Things like secret levels and hidden rooms, for example.

Then there's the ghost in a mask that asks young teenagers if they think he is sexy. Whatever they answer, he removes the mask to reveal himself as Rod Stewart. Then he sings until they die or until middle aged women throw their Western style panties at him.

Huh. I loved Mulholland Drive and disliked Inland Empire. Not hated, but definitely not loved; it seemed a bit like throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks. Great performances, but it seemed affected rather than artistic.

I thought Olympus Heights was depressing, and Apollo Square outright creepy. But, I liked them though. (Except for the part where your plasmids get imbalanced.) It just ramped up the disintegration of Rapture. After that, I found Point Prometheus to be boring in its cleanliness. Proving Ground was either one of…

I mapped it the first time, saving after every move. It's kind of a spiral, IIRC. Then the second time I played I gave myself a dope slap. You just listen to the sound clues and you can't go wrong.

See how we are?

"…Got new skank it's so reet…"

Thank goodness it wasn't an homage to Who's Next. The world already smells too much like urine.

I bought both the LP and the EP for both versions of Talk of the Town.

They did a very limited concert tour in support of that album. The crazy thing is that there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of slides that they showed throughout the concert; only a limited number made it to the album. A DVD would be the perfect medium to reconstruct the concert, but I don't think that one was ever…

Once Peter Gabriel left Genesis, we both agreed to disagree and I chose to follow Gabriel's career instead. Nothing bad to say about Collins; he changed the focus to music that appealed to a lot of folks but not me. He always seemed to be an agreeable fellow and there was a sweet interview with him on This American…

Is that Moonshine Stills? I love him!

When friends would come over, I'd put on If I Could Only Remember My Name. They'd just listen, amazed that they had never known about it or heard anything from it. And yet it would languish in cut-out bins. It has to be the least promoted great album I know of.

I'm looking forward to a guest cameo by the refrigerator that survived an atomic bomb.

After they killed off Wash and Preacher in Serenity, I stopped watching anything that came after that.

"…private karaoke room…"
