Finishing up my Serious playthrough of TFE and what strikes me as unique to this game in particular is how funny the escalation is. What if you shot that screaming guy and 20 more ran at you? What if we spawned so many goddamn frogs they get a boss health bar? How dumb can the weapons get? (1/3)

Mind is wandering at work so badly that I caught myself briefly trying to search for a Dr. Neo Cortex anywhere in our organization’s records.

Luigi’s Mansion has something that I actually vastly prefer to every Wario Land-inspired game, which is really good treasure collecting. Coins scatter all over the room, bills fly everywhere, gems have a unique pickup animation, counters scroll up as you grab everything… learn from this, people!!

Yellow Submarine was last night’s movie night. Beyond just being a cool trip it feels like essential vinny vinesauce lore has been unlocked.

Isn’t it kind of weird that Ghostbusters is kind of a completely unique piece of media? Like can you describe anything else that “feels like Ghostbusters”? Is this an untapped market or is there some reason for this?

Halloween is such bullshit. I should be allowed to get sick on candy and drinking blood every night of the year.

The funny thing is that Serious Sam 2 (besides it updating in the middle of my playthrough) is that it’s actually a fine horde shooter once it ramps up and you get past the kind of spotty first planet. I’m not a fan of long elevator/lift sequences though. Also the game is still psychotic (neutral?).

It’s been a few days since finishing Anthology of the Killer and I’ve already done a full second playthrough and feel like actually doing a full breakdown/write up. Every 5 minutes it feels like the gif of the guy opening the book and getting blasted with fire because the writing is so fire.

They’re installing harder alternate routes with boost pads and guaranteed double item boxes on my way to work, for drivers who want to take the risk.

Finished playing Anthology of the Killer last night. It's a collection of short adventure games about death and murder. In fact it might be the most about death and murder than anything else about death and murder. It goes hard and goofy and incredibly heavy when it wants to and I kind of love it.

One of my favorite things I did in a game this year was to open up tc_hydro and run around listening to the developer commentary. It has so many unusual spaces you don’t really see on any other map.
It’s funny how some of early TF2’s prettiest and most artistically coherent maps kinda suck to play.

Assuming I ever manage to make a game, it will naturally have to be about ridiculously violent catgirls…

It’s been however many years of video games having been invented and I still can only think of like 2 where you can do a piledriver in first-person.

Art is something I wish I gave more serious consideration to while I was still developing skills. Instead of learning fundamentals or any important principles I mostly learned how to copy or approximate where the lines should go to look like the other thing. Do people ever overcome this?

Had a dream that Seth McFarlane produced and directed a legally distinct Helluva Boss spoof that was somehow better in every way. It appeared next to the original show when you searched it and had 58% on Rotten Tomatoes

There’s a shelf of AD&D adventure modules on the shelf at my parents’ house, and at some point I’d like to go through them and evaluate them as a resource for general level design. I think if you can make dungeons drawn on graph paper engaging to walk players through you are already ready for a lot.

Playing Portal for the first time and I have a headache so I feel like I'm taking in less than I should, but at least one thing I noticed is the mood of the soundtrack. Around the chamber you get the dual portal gun it gets very distinct from what the 2nd game's would be and I kinda dig it more.

Zeno Clash fascinates me for a number of reasons. One is just how someone mangled the Source engine into a first-person beat-'em-up, another because of the weird moment in time and place that it occupies, and lastly because it's just so... weird and cool absorbing whatever the hell this world is.

I am at the point where I feel like I got to go to the library and check out a book teaching you how to draw cars or dragons if I ever want to learn a dam thing in my life.
