Game EXP: Egg (PC) A blog about video games. Game Reviews, analysis, thoughts, sentiments, stories, anecdotes.

Sometimes a game comes out that challenges expectations and conventions. Egg is not that game. I played 1% of the game for 33 minutes and then I wrote about it.

I tried a week ago and was told that ticket prices for when I wanted to fly were between $800-1400 more expensive than what's usually charged for this particular flight. And all the flight times/layovers sucked, unless I wanted to fly out at 5:15 AM.

Mm hmm. . . .and?

Trump and his Administration want to make an example out of me so they can scare Americans like you and keep you from speaking out against him.

The most patriotic thing any of us can do right now is to keep speaking up.

We have a bit of out of left field choice with today's MIDI Week Single, both in terms of game and that it was cut from the game. So enjoy this track from Chicken Little.

I had to look up the solutions to a couple of puzzles, I know I didn't unlock all the endings, and I found out I'm absolutely terrible at Animal Shogi.

Loved the execution and integrations of the limits of a VR headset.

I'm currently looking at my wishlist, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 has been there for 12 years and is currently $7.99, but I'll wait because I know I won't play it immediately and it might get even lower during a future sale.

I recall reading articles in the early 2000s, but didn't really start reading regularly until 2007 when my roommate went to PAX to be an [Enforcer].

A couple questions: Is this a standard novelization of the movie, and/or was it generated by AI since it has a publication date of September 2025?

My thought too.

Looks like someone was inspired after finally watching the first Iron Sky movie.

Is this a custom Hero Quest door?

I think you nailed it, suggesting that Disney/Lucasfilm should've leaned hard into the parodies of traditional Super Bowl commercials. What's an additional 24 million going towards the advertising budget for three more commercials that could also be aired the hell out of on YouTube?
