You may already have all your gimmicks planned Video Games, but making one month dedicated to playing games from 2007 would be a cool one.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
Just tried Steam streaming for the first time in like two years. Apparently that's not a giant piece of poo poo anymore. Playing Cities Skylines on my 2012 MacBook Air and it's great.

I loved Stranglehold when it came out and I was in my late teens, but I tried playing it a couple of months ago again and it's aged pretty poorly to the point where I gave up 4 levels into it. It's probably for the best though, as it means I've played even better games since then and that my tastes also changed and evolved during the past decade, which I assume is something that will keep happening until the day I am no more and ascend to video game heaven (or descend to game heck): :angel:

The Darkness also came out in 2007 and it was an excellent game made by Starbreeze who also worked on The Chronicles of Riddick game from 2004. It grabbed an atrocious comic book series and turned it into a action/drama hybrid where you play as an angry mob man with demon powers who slaughters other mob men while cool heavy metal music plays during firefights. Amongst the linear missions there was a NY/subway hub world with a great amount of interactivity where you could dial phone numbers, interact with radios, initiate conversations with characters for sidequests or just random chatter, and even turn on televisions to watch full films like To Kill a Mockingbird or whole episodes of Flash Gordon alongside many others. The game oozed atmosphere and the storyline was pretty self-contained too which is a rare thing in this medium, to the point where the average sequel, which was made by another developer, had to handwave away a lot of the first game's conclusion.

A lot of its key developers later on left Starbreeze to found MachineGames which worked on Wolfenstein The Old Blood and The New Order, both which share a lot of tonal and gameplay elements with The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

Darkness was flawed but so good. It's a credit to Starbreeze that they took the knockoff "Spawn"-ness of the source material and made it into something great. Seriously look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkness_(comics)

The second game was also flawed and generic and definitely closer to the source but I thought it was at least a fun "shoot dudes and rip em in half with hellpowers"-em up. Can't wait to see what Machine Games comes up with next!

I read the original Darkness comic around the game's release and wish I hadn't. Even its writer admitted in an interview a couple of years ago that he didn't give a poo poo about it and only wrote it for the money.

Happy new year!

...I missed the midnight countdown because I opened Civ V around ten or so and suddenly it's 12:36 and I hate the Incans for repeatedly building wonders before I do! :argh:

(This game is great and also a menace, jesus christ no wonder it's so feared on the internet. One more turn indeed!)

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


My cousin brought his NES mini to the new year's bash and all the cousins and significant others of cousins around our age had a great time reliving old memories, yelling while we were playing punch-out and Mega Man, teasing each other about the rusty skills. A true nostalgia machine.

Everyone was impressed that I remembered all the weaknesses of the punch-out guys.
