Oh man, a Total War: Lord of the Rings could be pretty badass.




Yes, those are all major contributors, though some of them overlap.



This is going to be one of those chapters in future history books that makes us look like real idiots.


Oh, man, I’m looking forward to trying this. Anyone given it a shot, yet?


Best full-price video game deal in history, in my opinion, was NFL 2K5 selling for $19.99 at launch. I still consider it the best football game ever and I miss it dearly.

It was such a good deal that EA shit themselves, bought the exclusive NFL license, and ruined football gaming for future generations.


Tempting, but I’m waiting to see whether SD cards catch on before buying in.


If you’ve played any Rimworld, you’d likely feel pretty comfortable with it, after the major UI update a year or two back.




They couldn’t get real Tetris, but Soviet Blocs is even better, comrade.


There’s warmongering despot money and then there’s TF2 hats money…


This one is misleading though. It’s a bit like, “Who would ever want a second hit of meth!? Just try it this once! Only takes 5 minutes!”







Another vote for Disco Elysium. For an old-school classic dripping in atmosphere, check out the 1997 Blade Runner PC game.



His PEGI 18 work is great, but his PEGI 12 work is overlooked. I think it’s where he really hit his stride in that role.


Thanks, I downloaded the demo. Looks interesting.


One that actually slightly boosts or decreases your circulation. It’d be so good. Also AI-generated text articles could be incredible.


I think it might have been Falcon 3.0?




Generally, you use Script Hook: http://www.dev-c.com/rdr2/scripthookrdr2/

It just goes in your game folder, as I recall. I did have some luck doing it on a pirated copy, too, which is nice because Rockstar are assholes about breaking mod functionality with updates semi-regularly.


Yes, a proper sequel based on the skeleton of Burnout 3 is the dream. BeamNG (or at least Wreckfest)-level car physics. Mmmm.


I’ve never heard or seen anybody else mention Suzerain. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure political strategy game, which is pretty unique. You are the new leader of a fictional nation wrestling with corruption. Your decisions will affect the outcome. Game is only $6 on Steam right now and is well worth it.

Also worth mentioning Ostriv, a beautiful city-builder in which you build an 18th Century Ukrainian village, complete with individual little villagers wearing their villager clothes. It’s lovely and made by ONE GUY, as best I can tell? Also, last I saw, the entire game was somehow under 1 GB, if I remember correctly. It’s absurd.



It’s kind of you to ask. I never get to show them off. Here are some so-so photos in an album. I ordered custom bands for each–that was my “customization/personalization.” All less than $100 (probably with bands included, even). I like how they’ve turned out, so far:

The first one is a Sputnik watch (the letters on the gold center part spell Sputnik in Cyrillic and the little Sputnik spins), the second is a Raketa Moonphase (they have tons of cool color options throughout the years). The third is from 1975, commemorating the Apollo-Soyuz-19 collaborative mission or “space handshake.” The fourth is not space-themed, but is, I believe supposed to be based on a Soviet tank operator’s watch(?), but I’m not totally sure on it, as it’s listed elsewhere as a Gagarin pilot’s watch. It’s an old Soviet one, not one of the reissues they’ve started offering Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of the movements, but they’re really cool, some have visible rubies and whatnot.


I’m not a proper “watch guy,” because I don’t have the money for it, but I’ve built up a little connection of Soviet mechanical watches, several of them space-themed. It’s a really fun way to dip into that hobby.


The article says it was actually twice in a week this time, two different tanks.



It takes a solid 45 minutes before it even begins to get rolling, and by the end it’s absolute pandemonium. It’s wonderful.


My most-beloved would also probably be pre-2015. Miss the way you felt Blackberry boo.


I miss peak E3. It was an EVENT. I’d read about it for weeks leading up to it and after.
