I'm new to the community and I'm very curious about what creative things the community is up to such as videos, music, art or written pieces. I was wondering if there's a place for this kind of thing on the forum that I may have missed. I'm really interested in seeing everybody's talents as well as critique. Thanks, Bomb-bois.

@shindig: Oh, man. I've revisited everything you listed other than The Quiet Man. I almost went for it too. It had a launch price of less than 15 dollars.

I'm one of those people who kind of have a sick sense of curiosity when it comes to games that are considered to be kind of garb-o. I recently found a sealed copy of Too Human and spent a few bucks picking it up because I just....had to know? Sometimes I even put time into these games as opposed to experiences I know are of a higher quality because of this curiosity. I've been playing Geist over the last few weeks for absolutely zero reason other than to see what the nightmare is all about. And to laugh of coarse.

Does anybody else do this? I'd love to hear about all the weird and not great things you all have picked up or sunk time into.

@nutter: Oh man I just started the same journey this last week. I'm about the same level as when you made your last post. I'm taking my time and enjoying every second of it.

It's corny as heck but my partner and my cat are making things really manageable for me lately. My partner is supportive of me and my cat is a great source of unconditional love!

My cat spends a lot of time hanging out with me as I've recently taken my first in depth stab at The Witcher 3. She's there with me through late night Witcher sessions and it's a source of great ease for my mind. I was recently laid off from a gaming industry job (nothing that's been in the headlines) just due to company growth and shifting. I survived the first two waves of layoffs but the third wave (whyere we lost a whopping 45 employees) got me.

I've been using this time of unemployment to finally sink some times into games that I've been shelving for way too long. I've also started making discussion based gaming videos as a hobby. Some days suck really hard. But these three things have really been giving me the will to push forward. Heck yeah!

I'm Luke and I'm 27 and I'm from Portland, OR.

I probably have the weakest skeleton in here and video games are my biggest weakness and strength. But mostly weakness.

I work (barely) in the industry doing QA and I love to make talk-y videos about video games because it's easier for me to talk than it is to write.

I have a really cool cat named Chowder but she screams a lot.

I've been a GB viewer/consumer for years. I'm a recent premium subscriber and I'm pretty much a first time forum user right here! Weird, right?
