This is it. The big turning point of the game.

Such as it is.
We’ve come to the penultimate episode of Shamus Plays LOTRO. It all ends next week.
The “racism in Resident Evil 5” debate is SO old and played out. But I restarted it anyway because I’m a jerk like that.
EDIT: And now it’s done again. Let’s talk about something else.

While watching Spoiler Warning, take a drink whenever…
* Specifically, he said, “It will be very entertaining when hundreds of viewers die of alcohol poisoning.”

A stream-of-gameplay review of Dead Island. This game is a cavalcade of bugs and bad design choices.
The true story of three strange days in 1989, when the last months of my adolescence ran out and the first few sparks of adulthood appeared.
