I've started playing the many games I have gotten unsolicited since my last Wolves video (about 11 so far). First one is Cantaloupe Chronicle, which I played for two hours today and found phenomenally boring... but sometimes unintentionally hilarious. youtu.be/HkTNcQYzbQY

Surprise! New video! Before the chicken nugget meme, there was a band of Swedish dumbasses and a guy named Joe who had cotton for eyes. And for some reason they made an adventure game in the mid 90s. Yes, this is real.

My computer is going on 15 years (thereabouts) and it's on its last legs. Therefore I have chosen the worst months of the year to ask for support in getting new components to build myself a new computer that will hopefully last for another decade.

I've now got no less than 9 games for my next To The Wolves video to play. Sigh. Why do developers keep doing this to themselves?
9 seems like a bad number, though. Who will be no. 10? Next game in my inbox will be the last one before the Gates of Indie Misery close.

My video on Core Design's second (and last) adventure game, the sci-fi "epic" (?) Universe, is up now for Early Access Patrons. It's one of my longest ones at almost 44 minutes, and I barely take a breath throughout it. Buckle up.
The video will premiere publicly in a couple of days.
