Avernum 4: Greed and Glory is up to Very Positive reviews. Thanks so much for the kind words! They really make a difference to a small indie. Our huge indie RPG in the underworld is selling well enough for us to write more games. Might be worth a look!

About game difficulty debates:
Some players are difficulty fetishests. They will ALWAYS tell you to make your game harder, ALWAYS oppose making it easier, and ALWAYS mock people who have trouble.
It's one voice to listen to, but you must always, at some point, tell them no.

I went to saw Weapons. Horror movie with a great hook (written on the poster).
It's a really fun movie. The sort of trashy, B-movie-with-good-production horror movie that provides a reliably enjoyable night out. The way the story is structured is extra-neat.

For my next blog post, I took a pic of my Harlan Ellison collection. Most of his works are out of print. They must be owned as crumbling paperbacks.
The acid in the cheap paper slowly eats at them. When I die, they will be dust. They can be mixed with the soil over my coffin.
