Mountain King for the Atari 2600. The fact "In the Hall of the Mountain King" starts playing when you need to get the crown to the top of the mountain within a certain amount of time youtu.be/hbCc4BTI370?... was epic.

The LEGO Game Boy is a fun build. The way the d-pad and buttons actually "work" is pretty cool. And how chunks of the machine slide and lock into place is masterful.

Watched Cabin in the Woods with my kids last night. While they didn’t get all the tropes and references, they enjoyed it.
Lots of great jump scares and a couple laughs in there, such a fun movie.

Our house it gluten and dairy free (my daughter is celiac and has EOE). Our goto bread is the Schar deli style bread. Best for toast and sandwiches.
But it’s $6.50 for 6 scales : (

My wife plays daily and wants a real drum kit for Christmas.
Back in the day, we would host game nights with 40+ people that would turn into drunken Rock Band nights. We own so many songs and bought a bunch more before the store closed.

I remember liking the DLCs for the original Alan Wake more than the main game. Love it when things get weird (which is why I love Control so much).

They didn’t play the song off the soundtrack here in Cleveland like they did at other cities. But I think Boys Noize did play some samples before the show.

“Mother should I trust the government?”
I was surprised the amount of people in Ohio, at a concert filled with mostly 60+ year olds boo so loudly after that line. Biggest pop of the night.
At a Brit Floyd concert and damn, they’re good.
