I think this is the best take so far. It's ok to want to just be a writer, not a writer and front-end developer and marketer and...

Crusader No Remorse is mine. I got the CD-ROM Classics version for around $20 just before winter break when I was a senior. I played through it that break and still revisit it almost every December.

Really, we can't get enough of the weird enemies in Great Greed. Who's your fave?

Imagine going to a university that thinks the first step in writing starts with reams of raw content.

The easiest thing to write is what you already know. It's why you can bang out 1500 words in a text when you're angry. If writer's block is happening, the solution is to go learn more.

Still need more baseball?

We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

Guitar Hero was released 20 years ago this week, so it's now about as old as Super Mario Bros. was when Guitar Hero came out.

Game of the Month Clubs One of things I really enjoy is a good game of the month club. These are small communities that form around playing and discussing games, typically older one...

I remember the subprime lending crash of 2007-8. I didn't even own a home but I got to deal with being furloughed and a seven year pay freeze. It was a great time to start a family!

The cool thing about our system is that we're told the capitalists deserve the rewards because they're the ones taking the risks, but when it all goes belly up everyone has to pay.

Monster (American) Football Grandpa and grandson Earlier in the month I posted about Grave Yardage, a DOS game I hadn't thought of for decades. I backhandedly asked how that game r...

What an opening half inning.

It's a very frustrating admission that most people think our representatives get to pick us instead of the opposite. We get to say who we don't want, especially years before the election!

October Game 3 - Phantasmagoria I was listening to the most recent podcast while also deciding which game to cover next, and I think the game they covered. Phantasmagoria, would be g...

Phantasmagoria! I think it's a swell game that does a lot of things well and some things poorly. But it's less than 6 hours if you use hints/walkthroughs and it's time well spent.

The Boss Tweed strategy. We're leaning into the Gilded Age.

One of the five best games released in 2024 is getting an expansion!

And that pattern matching becomes our heuristics, those mental shortcuts we use to make decisions and judgements quickly and they grow and change as we age. If someone or something seems off there's a good chance it's violating your heuristic, positively or negatively.

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

Fucking monsters.

Can someone good at economy tell me if it’s good that this thing that has consumed more investment than the interstate highway system is incapable of providing any kind of economic return

Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

If you haven't picked this up on PC yet then here's a great excuse to get it for Switch.

We love these cute lil' cutscenes in Ghostbusters II.

I'm reading through it right now!

There are very few games you can realistically play forever. Qud is one of them. I really think everyone should play it for five hours before they judge it.

October Game 2 Well, the plan to write "a couple [of posts] a week" fell through. October in education is something else. Anyway, this week's game is Grave Yardage, the ...

Grave Yardage! I forgot this game existed until someone mentioned it in a Discord channel and I had to go back and play some of it.
