Though I only know him through Last Week Tonight, I love his personality and material.

Last Week Tonight is a political commentary Television show which posts some videos on YouTube. Some of its research and news material is quite impressive, and its comedic presentation makes it particularly entertaining.

He went completely fucking insane some time ago, and became part of the fake news / social justice propaganda network.

With a strong talent for ad-lib, inflammatory rhetoric and confrontation, Patrice O’Neal is (was) a hilariously wrong comedian. He is deceased.

Patrice is astoundingly hilarious, though all too often it’s because he’s so offensive. I’d like to say he’s speaking his mind, but it’s impossible to tell, because a comedian crafts a fictional personality to present comedic material, and his is fantastic. He comes off as refreshingly authentic.

He’s been a guest for a bunch of radio shows, and he is worth listening to if you can stomach the awful hosts.

With a tenancy to dive into relationship territory, Patrice neither ejects nor leaves a skid mark trying to land. Instead, he explodes like a meteor, throwing up debris and setting everything on fire. He does not hold back.

Driven by De Beers‘ manufactured value of diamonds, the story follows a robbery being investigated by police and an ugly insurance woman of some sort.

Maybe it gets better, but it’s slow and boring. Maybe I needed to see an extended-length pilot episode. This has John Hurt, but that’s not good enough for me. Maybe I should have given this more of a chance, but .. I’m not going to.

Has scenes spoken in the French language, with English subtitles. It takes place in France, so there are a lot.
Has scenes spoken in the Serbian language, with English subtitles.

Guild bounty hunters hunt bounties and stuff.

I like it so far.

I am reminded of Firefly – (2002 show).

A tower defence game with space ships.

I didn’t play a whole lot of this, because the novelty wore off with the first one. However, it looks like this is more of the same: Highly customizable and extremely fun, but with poor replayability. Worth a bit of coin if you’re a fan of tower defence games.

I was able to utterly blow away the first two practice missions. It does look like it gets a lot harder. I think maybe this isn’t really for me right now or perhaps isn’t my thing any more. I think I would like this game a moderate amount if I spent more time with it.

Playing a few hours in, the UI is really annoying. That alone makes this game extraordinarily hard. I hate having to fight the game itself to figure all my shit out. I’m giving this a pass.

Like its predecessor, bonus points for the author throwing away all sense of storyline. Fuck all that shit, I just want gameplay. I’m not joking.

Support was dropped for this game. See Indie game developers move on. Or they fail.

A roguelike game with a tactical side to it.

I like it, but only played a little of it as this sort of game doesn’t seem to grab me any more. Definitely recommended for fans of this style of game. Don’t be put off by its graphics. Like a good book, the pictures are in your head.

I didn’t take notes from back then. All I have are some saved fleets. Some of the game gets extremely hard, especially with technology restrictions. I fucking hate having those restrictions. This was a big downer to playing all the way through.

Bonus points for the author throwing away all sense of storyline. Fuck all that shit, I just want gameplay. I’m not joking.

I never tried its expansion Parasites.

Evil returns to find Ash.

Playful. It is clearly capitalizing on the success of the franchise, but it’s not really interesting to me, as though it’s stretching out the story ideas. It’s okay, though not especially recommended. I watched a bit of it, but I’d rather do other things with my life.

Balloons threaten monkeys, and you coordinate their defence.

I’m big on tower defence games, and this is a very good one.

The Flash version is liked. The Steam version is disliked. Maybe the more adult multiplay on the Steam version would make it worth some money, but not at its price.

The differences between the Flash and Steam versions
