For the rest of your life, the only TV show you can watch is Dexter but only sseason 8 or the only movie you can watch is Driven. You have to watch Dexter twice a year and Driven 5 times a year.

I'll become emotionally dead in both cases, but at least with Driven, I'll have some ...

Sometimes, you'll find a twenty minute EP from nearly ten years ago that you're still playing to this day. I knew nothing of Sister Crayon and honestly, I only just discovered what else she's doing today, which just makes me excited to hear more.

This Cynic EP starts with a beautifully dark and somber title track that m...

Unflattering Comparisons

raycevick post Unflattering Comparisons from patreon

By the time you read this, there's just two days left of the current Steam Next Fest. The semi-regular digital festival where Steam's packed to the brim with demos of upcoming games, dev-streams, and reveals.

While my wishlist isn't tripling like it did last time, I'm still finding lots of interesting games I never woul...

Is there any other games (other then Alpha Protocol) that you feel deserve the remake treatment?

raycevick post Use. Right. Click! from patreon

Two years ago, I wrote a Randomly Mine called "A Simple Standard" where I wished more developers would use WASD for navigating menus rather than force the mouse or arrow keys.

Now I'm going to complain about something that's almost identical.

In game menus, you left click to advance, so logically, you'd use the ri...

I've had months now to let this album simmer, and it still slaps from top to bottom.

The amount of mockery Michael Bay gets from viewers and critics alike I think very much stems from that he's clearly talented, and movies like The Rock show how.

After recommending Bring Me The Horizon's Post Human Survivor Horror EP, I was encouraged by Patrons to give the band's earlier work a try.
