The Gaming Den

I found a collection of all of Howard's Solomon Kane stories. I'm actually liking these more than what Conan I read. Maybe because Solomon has a BIT more depth and maybe because the howling racism isn't quite so loud. It does make me wonder why they've never done a movie on this guy. Hell, a video g...

.... Did you miss the part where he defended pedophilia?

He didn't just defend it, he advocated for it.

Nioh get I did the beta. If you did it, too, you get a couple of helmets themed after the bosses of the beta missions For some reason, the actual game is a lot easier (we'll see if I say that upon reaching the Bat Bitch). But that might also have something to do with me figuring out something simple...

I get that I shouldn't swear at customers, but I'm not the kind of person who can just be insulted and silently take it without doing anything Then you're not the kind of person that can work retail successfully. The masses are asses. Game On, fbmf It is for this reason that I'm a janitor who start...

Well, anyone who wants, there's the Annotated Pratchett File. It cuts off at about Going Postal -but-, it's good for citing references and all: https://www.lspace.org/books/apf/index.html In other news, Tales of Berseria is now my favorite Tales game. My favorite JRPG. There is a scene that hits lik...

Any longtime lurker with a memory for small details might remember that I'm a big Discworld fan. I've read every one of a book except for the Science of Discworld series, which I could never lay hands on. I've been reading Discworld for nigh-on twenty years now. And it still gets me. One of the firs...

Jokes about the development studio being named Cyanide I will leave to the reader.

Well, if I recall, you're in California, right?

Housing is a good deal less affordable there.

I think AH was just hoping to catch someone who didn't know what an 8 track looked like.

I have, in fact, had to explain VHS and what a VCR is to a ten-year-old cousin.

I haven't read it. Christmas prep and stuff has kept me from reading up on a ton of threads I need to catch up on.

In preparation for the encroaching nuclear apocalypse, I picked up the Mad Max game on Steam. Not Fury Road, the one not based on any specific movie. (no, not REALLY in preparation) I'm actually kinda impressed. It reminds me of Shadows of Mordor in how the progression goes--at first you play extrem...

Aren't they those librarians that tinker with ringsized lascannons and the such?
An army of that sounds fun. Like a barrel of monkeys.

Monkeys can't pick you up by your ankles and bang your head on the ground.

Or, in other words, "Eek!"

AH, how would you then deal with the 'knowledge is dangerous' trope, if tomes become mere tools for the investigators? I think I agree with all your above points, but that is the first question that jumped into my mind because CoC - from my very limited perspective - loves to fap to the lure of kno...

On consideration, I don't care if Jim Butcher is a libertarian as long as it doesn't obviously come out in his writing. Sword of Truth, Dark Materials, Dragonlance, Left Behind, one might notice something those all have in common: They're preachy, and they suck. An author can use their ideology to i...

Spoiler'd for size. Dumbass confesses to doing inhalants, including huffing air horn gas (and complains of not being able to hear shit).

She was 99. I think we can forgive that one.

The dude sells them on Etsy, if they care enough. I knew enough chemistry to laugh at it.

My sister's co-worker came up with this shirt. Which is becoming a thing.

So, Ryleigh is the friend who lets deadbeat Cthulhu sleep on his couch..

R'lyeh is the city/island where Cthulhu sleeps/is bound.

I think a lot of Republicans, especially Ryan, are waiting to see just how far they can manipulate Trump - who did make promises to do things they strongly oppose like never cut Social Security - before they decide what, ultimately, they are going to do.. Trump is easy to manipulate if you can flat...

Another big problem with the Harry Potter setting is that we've never been given a measure of what "a wizard of great power is". Yeah, magic is the Potterverse, we're told, is a complicated and academic process, but in practice it always comes down to concentration, will, and intent. Dumb...

I got the Last Guardian for my birthday. THis game. This game is gorgeous. The puzzles can be awkward, but that's more because of the Shadow of Colossus controls/movement. You take a moment to start running and the general motion feels a little imprecise, like you're puppeting the character instead ...

Found a book recently released as a free PDF: A to Z of Cthulu mythos http://www.rollespilsakademiet.dk/mythos/mythosabc_english.pdf Funny that. I've been on a Lovecraft kick recently.
