I was in the military and we had this big conference table that could fit a good 12 people at. About once a month our boss would give us the key for the weekend and we’d play Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, and Red Alert 2 for 12-18 hours straight while pounding back Mountain Dew Code Red.

The Panoz Roadster in Midtown Madness 2.

“Destroy him, my robots” from Impossible Mission on the C64.

It was the first videogame I ever heard talk. And full disclosure, 5 year old me, thought it said, “destroy him my-rin bolts”. It wasn’t until years later, my dad actually corrected me.

Not frustrating until the last level of Portal 1. I still feel bad about never finishing it. But that last level was brutal. Maybe it’s time to dust off my 360 and give it another go.

I agree that forcing you to create an account for a single player game is stupid and annoying. And they only do that on the PC version. However, I can never recommend RDR2 enough.

I bought it because I had just finished GTA V and wanted more. Some told me RDR2 was like GTA with horses. But it is so much more than that.

It is now my favorite game of all time. I’ve done 2 complete playthroughs on PS4 and recently started another on PC. Once I finish the PC playthrough I plan to start messing around with some mods.

My wife is not very spatial, but enjoyed playing coop Portal 2, for a little bit. Once we got to the stage where I was just telling her where to go or stand the entire time we stopped playing together.

When I was in the final mission of chapter 6, on my first playthrough, my wife came in to tell me it was time to put the kids to bed. She took one look at my face and the tears rolling down it and put the kids to bed without me.

Wonder how many are like my son who had it on the Xbox 360, then the PS4, then the Switch, and now on PC.

Day 5947, please let me retire before I hit 60

I actually watched that again a few years ago when I started coaching my daughter’s soccer team. It honestly holds up fairly decently for a 90s movie dealing with gender. However, Rodney Dangerfield totally carried that movie himself.

I’d look pretty out of place as an overweight 43 year old man playing in the Women’s World Cup.

I still can’t believe they made some of the Flashbacks with IR remotes. My kids grew up in the age of the Switch. They have no idea how to keep a controller within line of sight of the console.

Slay the Spire works great on a touchscreen as well. It runs great on my Surface.

However, there is a weird bug if playing on a Surface, that I feel obligated to let other know when recommending this game. You have to have the keyboard attached for the touchscreen controls to work in Slay the Spire. But you can flip it around the back and still play with the touchscreen.

Red Dead Redemption 2 made me bawl my eyes out.

Interesting perspective. It seems popular now for people to dismiss him as someone got more attention than they deserve. Which may be true, but like you mentioned that has more to do with the media and law enforcement not knowing what to do with him.

There is no doubt that the attention he received helped his later career. But it’s not like he just rode those coat tails. His books were informative and entertaining. Not something many can pull off. And while Know2Be is boring ass cyber training, I’ve seen much worse products on the market.

Your article makes me wonder if he has the resources and support of a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, would things have been much different for him.

Also, FYI, the URL link in your comment didn’t work for me. I had to copy the link and extract the URL from it. I’m using the Connect app on Android.

Works great on my Surface. Only thing is you have to keep the keyboard attached for it to work. But you can flip it back and still play with just the touchscreen.
