This “game” is a piece of shit. Avoid it unless you’re a big fan of Borderlands. Even then, you should probably avoid it.

I can’t describe it without spoiling it’s best part.

I happen to like boring 8-bit games, so the initial moments of this game are just fine for me. I stuck it out, because I knew a little bit about what was to come. Even though I saw it coming, I was really moved by the introduction to “the game proper”. Holy shit.

Great game, I think.. but I just don’t get it. Treasure maps make no sense. Secrets are nigh impossible. The world map is hopeless. I gave it a good shot, based on old hype, but no joy.

A Connect Four-like game, with some goofyness akin to the various Tetris remakes.

Boring as sin. The free flash game from a decade ago is the exact same thing.

A terrible FPS semi-roguelike game.

Procedurally-generated levels. Extraordinarily unfairly unnecessarily hard. Not fun at all.

I ended up getting a refund.

A MOBA which also has good bots.

Like all the other “safe” games Blizzard has created, Heroes of the Storm is an accessible MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena) game. It’s pretty, plays well, and os reasonably fun. It has excellent bots to beat up for a chill game. Voice support makes it great.

I play a bunch of it, and like it. I don’t PvP. The versus AI started out being really boring but improved a lot over time.

  • aka HOTS
  • abandoned – It’s officially on life support
  • Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

aka “Erika”

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.

Wikipedia: Trance

Music has some notes on my taste, which apply to Trance.

I have a particular love of female vocal progressive trance. It’s lighthearted and romantic. I’ve been listening to this style and sub-style of music for a while now. I intend to keep listening, and I like to share the things I love. Isn’t that what love is? If you like my curating, then you’re in for a treat.

A top-down hack-and-slash game based on the Gauntlet franchise but with different controls, abilities and general gameplay.

This seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be a pretty shitty experience. Not recommended.
