Nothing new on the streaming side of things, but check out the new Summoning Salt video on Ninja Gaiden:

Grats on finishing zack! Im trying to spend as much time as i can in my workshop, knowing i have to do other things today too.

I’m glad that there are that many people playing. Often hearing that these games are suffering from the problems they have been, its easy to kind of write them off. Those whales that are supporting this game must really be supporting it though.

This is my thought. Local connections are getting overwhelmed in a geographical area. She has to drive about half a mile, and thats probably enough to switch to a different tower. Im wondering if she lives close (within a mile) of some sort of largish employer, but I think the real answer is that she lives in a rural…

So between this and Fallout 76, I find it just astounding the lengths that these publishers and studios are going to to keep these games “alive” for a better sense of the word. It’s an interesting shift in how some of these “games as a live service” models have adjusted. Before hand, these sort of not-successes would…

Totally. Def check out the second youtube link. That guy lives in Italy and practically everything he does is all in a small apartment sized room that he uses as a workshop area. If you are only in an apartment, you will probably want to stick with hand tools. The good news is that you can definitely get some decent…

Happy to help. If nothing, it makes for relaxing watching.

I did a lot of smaller projects with my dad when I was in scouts, but I didn’t really do anything for about 15 or so years until I moved into my house coming up about 3 years ago. It has a dedicated basement workshop space and my dad gave me his radial arm saw. I decided to really get into it then. I’ve gotten all my…

I think I’m going to free myself from the turnips this week in Animal Crossing. I’m excited to start work on building a new desk for myself this weekend. I don’t anticipate the frame taking too much time. The desktop will be a longer process though. I have some boards that I will need to resaw, joint, plane, and glue…

I know I've poopoo'd this game in the past, but this really leaves a sour taste. It kind of feels like users are really being nickled and dimed here for just the base level experience.

Well, it was time for me to take the hair plunge that was on topic on Monday. I had hit that point where my hair stopped being part of my head and started being its own thing. Had my wife buzz down my hair, and it was very clear she did not have experience in this. Not necessarily from the results, but in how you…

with how much money GTA Online has brought in, it’s really a surprise that something like this hasn’t happened sooner. That being said, if people are still more than willing to pay $30 for your game, why give it away for free?

Remember Ian, fire is cleansing

You missed the opportunity to roleplay as Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy.

I really feel like I’m making an effort to turn things around, but then I also feel a blinding rage when the ideas I put forth two years ago which were shot down and trashed as all of a sudden praised and made a priority when they are put forth by someone else.

I held off on this series after Rogue, so I wasn’t aware that the stealth blade had really fallen off like it seems like it has. I’m definitely in the camp of fans of liking the older versions of the games, and I really miss the conspiracy laden puzzles in 2-3,  but I know that is something that can’t really come back.

I was dealing with that a little bit, but now I’m just despondent. I feel like I am stuck in my role with little to no opportunities for advancement. I also know what happens to people who complain alot at work. 20 million people filled for first time unemployment benefits last month, and I have no desire to join them.

I got word a few weeks ago that WFH is in place for my job until Sept, at a minimum. That part is good. I’m going to be working on building a desk because I am really dissatisfied with my current one. But I am just feeling a high level of unhappiness at work right now, and it’s only partially related to secondary…

Who knows, they might go the Ubisoft route and realize that making all of your games super similar isn’t a good thing.
