Using high school as a marker for what to expect for the rest of life is such a terrible idea. Just throw that in the rubbish and go experience people for yourself. Wade through the assholes and you’ll find tons of nice folks just trying to live.

There’s an official dock you can get for it. I have one and it’s awesome. Has a USB-C for power, HDMI, and 2 regular USB ports for peripherals. It even has an Ethernet port.

What was the worst game that comes to mind from your time writing? I used to write album reviews for a metal site years ago and one of our writers got HIM’s latest album at the time. They really just didn’t like the album and I shit you not, the review garnered 1,000+ comments from pissed off fans. It got so out of hand, we had to close comments.

Man, DN4E sat in limbo forever. I remember waiting patiently for it knowing full well it would be a mess, but I didn’t care because I was such a massive Duke Nukem fan. Definitely on my list of bad games but I managed to complete it. It was so dated and clunky.

I vaguely remember Brink and all of the hype absolutely vanishing when it came out. I think I ended up skipping it because of the feedback people had.

Thanks for sharing!

If this isn’t in your library yet, absolutely get it if you can. It’s so much fun. I laugh out loud at it often.

I will happily continue to not pay for games that do this and I won’t be missing out on anything.

This is on par with restaurants that microwave garbage food. They’re phoning it in to squeeze as much profit as possible out of the product. That tells me you don’t want to make games people enjoy, you want to make games that do nothing but maximize profit. I ain’t here for that shit. I’m willing to pay money for companies that respect art and trades, not ones that worship capitalism and exist to appease assholes in suits.

I’ll be playing it via GamePass and can try to report back once I have some hours under my belt in it.

BG3 like everyone else seems to be, the System Shock remake, and I started replaying Half Life 2 and Dishonored recently. Just got a Steam Deck so it’s been fun being able to play all of my Steam games wherever I want.

I had a Q3 server running for a while that I’d hop in and out of. It was funny knowing that it had bots on it just endlessly fighting each other. I miss the Instagib and Urban Terror days.

Legend of Grimrock 1 and 2 are good ones. I’m sure you’ve come across those ones though.

Yep. The bottom logo looks slightly like the new X.com one from a distance though.

Diablo 4 with my wife, and replaying GTA V. Both have been a lot of fun.

Rip and tear until it is DONE.

Mick Gordon is amazing! I tweeted to him one time and he hearted my tweet. My friends and I played this soundtrack a ridiculous amount. Great pick.

The benefit to the radio stations in game is that you get the silly commercials and commentary too. I like the whole package together. Sometimes I’ll drive around while just listening too, which is fun.

Wow, I didn’t know he was one of the voices. That’s great lmao. I love how many celebrities they manage to get for the stations. Like Kenny Loggins, Frank Ocean, Iggy Pop, Kat Williams.

The Banjo games are such gems. I really need to replay those.

I haven’t played Lemmings since like middle school! Time to go find the music for it.

Tunic is such a masterpiece. I love all of the retro vibes and nods I get from it. I still have my old manual for Link and it’s fun to see the similarities side-by-side while playing Tunic.

Seriously, I might go make a massive playlist of everything everyone contributed. So many good ones in your list.

I have a Skyrim playlist I play through our Sonos network almost daily while my wife and I work, and when it ends, it always slips in Deus Ex, Cyberpunk, and Witcher tracks. So much good stuff from all of them.

Yeah, same! I think what makes me okay with the GTA ones is that they play full songs instead of radio edits, and I’m sometimes distracted by the GTA world’s randomness, so I let it slide. Otherwise I hate when DJs talk all over the already-shortened tracks.

My dad and I used to play 7th Guest together. What a classic! It’s been a long time since I played that one. Had it on CD-ROM. Now I need to go find the soundtrack.

I get old school Quake vibes from this. I love it.

I used to play a ton of Quake 3 Rails only Instagib! I was hosting a Q3 server for a while not long ago, but just didn’t have the time to dedicate to it. Might be fun to spin up again. It would run 24/7 with bots so I’d just hop in and out during lunch downtime or something.

What a throwback.

Wow, for the first time! Such a great experience. The goofiness adds charm. So many of my best and weirdest moments are from that game.

I started replaying Grand Theft Auto V since it was added to GamePass. Aggalos, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever, Tunic, and started replaying The Elder Scrolls Online.

I’ve been all over the place lately, haha.

Skyrim! You’re already used to FPS games, so the first person part of Skyrim should be a breeze (you can toggle to 3rd person too). It’s one of those adventure games that will really stick with you. My wife and I will both come back to it often.
