Once again, nothing much happening.
The only thing a managed to do was, finish the providence trials with each character in Risk of Rain Returns.
That’s about it. What’s everyone else doing?

DM of the Rings Remastered CXXXIV: Hold Your Horses
I Think This Time of Year Every Year…
…things get a little bit busy. And by “busy” I mean sometimes **** just falls off the rails and you struggle to keep your head above water. That’s mixing metaphors quite badly, I think. Images of a train crash and going in the water in an uncontrolled way, which I guess *could* actually be related. The Well There’s Your Problem podcast did a great episode on the “Overseas Railroad” for the Florida Keys, where a train crash could literally throw you into the Atlantic Ocean. Or technically the Gulf of Mexico, I guess.

Not much has happened this week.

And I started playing a bit of Risk of rain 2 with my sibling. Not much else.
What’s happening with you guys?

This week has been quite mundane.
I played a bit of Risk of Rain Returns. Nothing new there.
I also played a few Itch.io horror games. The only one worth mentioning is Microbial Sector. You are analyzing a bunch of objects and marking what microbes are present. that’s mostly it, it’s pretty short but got a good spook.
How are things for everyone else?

From The Archives:
PC Hardware is Toast
This is why shopping for graphics cards is so stupid and miserable.
Push the Button!
Scenes from Half-Life 2:Episode 2, showing Gordon Freeman being a jerk.
Revisiting a Dead Engine
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.
Charging More for a Worse Product
No, game prices don't "need" to go up. That's not how supply and demand works. Instead, the publishers need to be smarter about where they spend their money.
Game at the Bottom
Why spend millions on visuals that are just a distraction from the REAL game of hotbar-watching?
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.
The Best of 2017
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2017.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
Wolfenstein II
This is a massive step down in story, gameplay, and art design when compared to the 2014 soft reboot. Yet critics rated this one much higher. What's going on here?
Who Broke the In-Game Economy?
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
