I'm partial to applewood myself.

Quick question to any Doggie Dragons: Dark Arisen players out there. At what point can I swap my vocation to something that doesn't suck and can I swap my main pawn's vocation also?

Any excuse is a good excuse to watch T2. That movie absolutely still holds up today. It's the quintessential 90s action flick.

I can't blame Luck, he spent the vast majority of his career running for his life behind a patchwork O-line.

I started Doggie Dragons: Dark Arisen. Too early in the game to really pass judgment on it, but it's pretty fun so far. It has a really great character creator, about the only thing missing is a combover hairstyle. I can't really complain since the game gives you like 45 hair options, but a really ****ty looking combover would have been the cherry on top. I love the fact that I have 2 tall, statuesque, amazons following me around (one a mage the other a warrior) both towering over my short, fat, balding rogue in his mid 50s. It's quite the contrast and I get no shortage of chuckles out of it.

My Doggie Dragons: Dark Arisen character, Frundelstein: One of the few games that lets you make a fat, bald, old man character. 👍

OG's hyper-aggressive style was really impressive.

Liquid takes a crazy game 1. If OG wind up losing these grand finals, Ana is going to be haunted (pun intended) by not buying back on Spectre earlier. You can't wait on your buyback that long when there's a Meepo on the other team. Meepo kills buildings so quickly.

OG is looking super strong. They are the best team right now at recognizing when they have a power spike and taking the most advantage of it, often times just outright ending the game right away.

It's time for NoTail vs Fly The Grudge Match - Part 3

I love the old skool faces in different states of bloody next to your health. Why did games stop doing that? It's so much better than red bar or screen turns more red as you get hurt.

Here's the newest trailer for Spiders' latest RPG that inevitably will fall well short of its ambitions and be janky as ****, and that I'll play and wind up enjoying anyway. I'm so going to murder the **** out of the tree-hugger natives and Manifest Destiny my way across the New World.

Of course. You can also turn on the hand dryer, play the piano, knock paintings off the wall, shoot bottles, etc.

Muh Boys signed Jaylon Smith to a 5 year extension. You may remember Smith as a risk Jerry & Co. took in the 2016 draft, as the guy had a devastating knee injury in his final year of college that made him miss his entire rookie season. The gamble ultimately paid off as he's gone on to be one of the most important pieces of Dallas' D. The Zeke drama continues, but it's nice to know Jaylon Smith will be a Cowboy through at least 2024 (barring a trade, of course).

I started playing Ion Fury. Very quickly I was met with the indisputable fact that I am completely **** at old skool shooters (or any shooters, for that matter). I'm playing on the 2nd of 4 difficulties and I'm getting super murdered, but I refuse to play on baby's first shooter difficulty, because my ego can't handle that. With enough practice I will hopefully become slightly less **** at the game. Despite having my ass handed to me repeatedly, I'm having fun with the game. It's a decidedly mid 90s shooter where you play as Female Duke Nukem and progress through labyrinthine levels full of alternate paths, secret areas, and really ****ish places for enemies to come out of and horribly murder you while your character cracks wise. It's the Duke Nukem 3D sequel we never got. What's that you say? Something about there already having been a Duke Nukem 3D sequel? With all due respect, sir or madam, I don't know what you are talking about and you might be off your rocker. Lalalalala I can't hear you.

I'm home from the road for a few days and decided to drink some local brews. The Carolinas have a veritable embarrassment of riches, if you're into IPAs, but, if you're like me and prefer lagers, your choices are far more limited. Still, I picked this up: Pretty good. Fairly easy drinking and comes off smooth, but with enough robustness to satisfy my palette. It could stand to be a tiny bit more hoppy, for my taste, but overall it's the kind of no fuss, no muss, no spices, no fruits, no berries, old skool traditional lager that I tend to gravitate toward.

^ Gotta love a trailer announcing an announcement. Hopefully someone took this a step further on social media and announced the coming of the trailer that announced the coming announcement.

If the drone combat mode has you killing 80% innocent civilians, we'll know it's a true simulator.

Ion Fury

I don't remember the first 2 games having weird west elements, but I'm not opposed to them.

^ I tried hard seltzer about a month back, it was ok. I concluded that it would be a good drink if my aim was to get hammered and urinate a lot, on account of the fact that, while it didn't taste particularly good, it also didn't taste bad, and it was really easy drinking. Whereas the beer I usually drink tastes great, but is fairly robust and filling and something I generally can't drink quickly or a ton of, at least not at my age, not that I'd want to (different story 20 years ago ). I could easily see myself plowing through a 12-pack of hard seltzer without so much as batting an eye... Then regretting my life choices shortly thereafter.

^ I guess that's the video game equivalent of pivoting to an agile synergistic model to conceptualize the value-add proposition.
