The past week has mostly seen me continue to plug through One Deck Dungeon, leveling up my characters, figuring out my favorites, dipping my toes in two-character runs, and when I realized I was getting way more than my $0.99 investment in the deeply discounted base game, I grabbed a bundle with every DLC character…

I’m just looking forward to The Trial.

I’ve never seen this before. Why am I so certain it’s from Conan?

I’m glad Silent Hill 1 was covered here. SH2 had Pyramid Head and SH3 was the absolute peak of the series in terms of scares, but what SH1 had going for it was that I hadn’t adjusted to the formula. There wasn’t a formula. I hadn’t played anything like it. It got under my skin.

(it is very weird to see the 5 closest McDonald’s locations to me accounted for on a static header image, and even weirder to realize that I actually have strong opinions about all 5 of them. I need to eat less fast food)

Oh, of course the ice cream machine is down at the McKinleyville McDonald’s, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to the Valley West McDonald’s like a peasant.

I’ve watched a little bit of Phasmophobia, and from what I gather, I keep missing the most important part, where they actually get the ghost to materialize and positively identify it. So I’ve largely just seen an increasingly agitated ne-ghost-iator start off by saying the ghost’s name and asking, “Are you here?” and…

I would not immediately assume the president had been hacked if I saw him tweet, “BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT.”

... because it’s covering a dick?

Dead Like Me was still building new dimensions to its character relationships and slowly letting George come to grips with her own death at the very start of her adult life, memorializing the anniversary of her own passing, when it just ended without letting her have the full 6-season arc she deserved. It didn’t…

Well, if you’re a fan of the genre and want some recommendations,I played exactly this flavor of game all the time in the 90s. Shivers is pretty great (and for the price you might as well pick up Shivers 2, though it’s not quite as good - $5.99 apiece on GOG), and if it even exists in a Win10-compatible format,…

I haven’t put the time in for World of Horror to gel just yet. I like the atmosphere and concept, but I don’t think I’ve played it enough to really understand how to make progress, outside of the very much on-rails introductory mission. Part of me wants to pull up a guide or watch a video/stream of someone who knows…

There’s been no small amount of effort made to rehabilitate candy corn’s image this year, but I remain unconvinced.

I remember the beehive puzzle being a giant pain in the ass, but on my most recent playthrough, I actually nailed it on the first try. Either 37-year-old me is much, much smarter than 14-year-old me was, I got very lucky, or they nerfed the AI for the Steam release and it’s just been fixed to not be a giant,…

I hope you enjoy the hell out of Justice for All. With everyone talking about Great Ace Attorney right now, I’m getting the urge to go through all the games that have been released since I played the first 5 games 10 years ago. I’m hoping they port more of the series to Steam and/or Switch so I can actually support…

I think the strategy is going to be to introduce it at a smaller game night or even a one-on-one hangout and gradually expand to larger groups, making sure I’m never teaching more than 2 people a new role in a game, and to avoid the goblins until everyone else is comfortable with the general mechanics or has seen me…

It’s funny, because I only died against the final boss once after using 2 E-tanks and then misjudging whether I had enough health to tank one more homing bullet. I only had 2 E tanks + 1 S tank in my successful attempt and still squeaked it out. So my complaint isn’t even about difficulty. I needed more final boss…

I finished my replay of all 11 Mega Man games last week, and I’m so glad there are 4 good games after 7, because 7 really is just the one entry in the series I’m never going to adjust to and actually enjoy from start to finish. Even running out of E-tanks in the last level of Mega Man 9 and spending over half an hour…

I’m loving the censorship fish in lede images this week. Can I get one over the Borat ad?
