Though I’ve only heard her two songs, I really really like her cover of Bruno Mars’ Locked out of Heaven. Hers was my first exposure, and I strongly prefer her. I wish she had done/shared more.

Yes she’s hot. Oh so very hot. But she can also sing damned well, which is more important. Probably.

  • Not to be confused with an Italian singer “Erika”. I think.

A fixed-angle-view roguelike.

My general conclusion is that it’s a good game, but doesn’t have enough variety of abilities.

Path of Exile – (2013 game) is better in terms of difficulty, complexity and player-immersion. In fact, Diablo 3 has been copying features straight from Path of Exile. Doing things badly, but, still, obviously copying.

A woman, dying in a macabre soap opera, is filmed by a man with cybernetic eyes.

Great movie, but the main actor’s performance is absolutely horrible.

  • Based on The Unsleeping Eye – (1973 book), by David G. Compton

A free-to-play 2.5D action semi-rpg game. Get gear, assign your abilities, explore and kill. Procedurally-generated areas and special “maps” give end-game replayability.

While straightforward to get into, it becomes atonishingly complex and unashamedly hard. They are also committed to keeping the game “hardcore” and not stooping to the level of appeasing the filthy casuals who ruin other games. This includes not avoiding pay to win.

Its developers care about their game more than any other developer for any other game I’ve played or have even heard of. Other than the little things, the game gets major updates every three months. Major as in expansion-quality new stuff.

Their community participation is strong.
