I treated myself to a new PC for Christmas with oh so many ambitions of play and work. I haven't had a working PC since I accidentally bricked the last one around 2014/15 while trying to play Rogue Galaxy while also trying to render some video on a very hot day. Poor choice, in retrospect. Now in 2021, I somehow found myself falling face-first into Death Stranding. This game is dumb as hell but I just can't put it down.

This can't possibly sound reasonable, but I find catharsis in it. There is something in the solitary moments while patiently trudging across the beautiful and harsh landscape. With my own time in war now over a decade in my past, I find it almost romantic. The exact lines currently allude my grasp, something like "fuck this" and "feels good", but these little offhand comments that Sam makes in those moments stirs something in my soul from days when I was alone with nothing but my boots, some small arms, and a very heavy pack of rations and radios on my back.

Also the story is totally bonkers. I do not recommend, but am loving it nevertheless.

Stuff like this is exactly why this is the greatest website ever forever. Bravo.

Waffles all the way.  Pancakes start out great but quickly turn into a mushy suck-fest.

Can we petition Microsoft to rename the points as "Microsoft Banana Bucks"?

I'd love it if Brad Nicholson reviewed all of the work-out games that are coming out.

Modern-day Pittsburgh is one of the most awful places on this planet, and I've seen a fair amount of it.  I put this in my top ten of awful places, a list that includes Buffalo, Detroit, and Kandahar Afghanistan.  Pittsburgh is slightly cleaner than Mumbai.  Side note-Buffalo has a slightly higher employment rate than Kandahar and Detroit is actually less safe than Fallujah.  I say this fully knowing that I am less than half an hour from Baltimore, "The City that Bleeds".  Actually, Baltimore would make a great expansion for Fallout 3.  Just add a little more map to the North... please?

I like to do it like I like to do chocolate milk.  Burger goes in the mouth, sauce goes in the mouth.  Yum's in the mouth.  Our yum.

Nah, I don't do that.  I just wish I did.

But really, Worcestershire is great.  I just don't think it's a requirement, but I do understand.  I have the same love of Old Bay seasoning.  Everything I cook gets a little, and I don't think everyone likes it.  It ends up in my drinks.  Maybe a Worcestershire, Old Bay, & Burger slushy with bourbon... but I'm getting off topic.
