I have been cyber violated. You have shattered my innocence and I'll never get it back. /faints

I had tons of fun with Dying Light, abysmal QTE final boss fight notwithstanding. It's the illegitimate love child of Mirror's Edge and Dead Island. I'm looking forward to the DLC that adds vehicles.

Quite possibly the most expansive and, dare I say, important DLC ever made: All joking aside, this stuff better be in the base game of American Truck Simulator when that comes out. I need a bobblehead in my Peterbilt 597. Also, I hope they include the ability to flip people off when the honk their horn at you for the authentic American trucking experience.

I would think cyber bullying and cyber violence would be one and the same. I think cyber violence is just a ludicrous and sensationalized term for cyber bullying, which I deem to be an accurate term (Surprise, people can be ***holes over the internet just as easily as they can be ***holes in real life. In fact, it's easier to be an ***hole over the internet because of anonymity so that cowards in real life can be tough guys and gals on the net [it is my theory that the majority of bullies and trolls on the net are cowards in real life]). I have no clue what kind of nonsense cyber touching is supposed to be. Is that like pinging somebody's computer?

Crazy, right? The whole hoopla over D&D getting people into satanic rituals and making them kill themselves, that was back in the 80s, wasn't it? Edit: Never mind, Amentep answered that question while I was typing this.

I'm subjected to cyber idiocy on a daily basis. I've also been the victim of online trolling more times than I can count. I ask for, nay DEMAND, justice. Also, send money to my Patreon to help with my terribly wounded psyche.

This really is PMRC all over again. Every single form of media has to go through this manufactured sensationalist hysteria crap at some point. The good news is that this crap always fails eventually.

Man, Kirk Cousins was awful last night. That was a winnable game for Washington, but Cousins couldn't hit the broad side of a barn yesterday.

I gotta say, the in SOMA are pretty relaxing so far. Outside of a it's been pretty lovely. On the less pleasant side of things, I finally managed to die once. It was On the plus side, I think I have the mechanics of damage figured out now. I also managed to break the game once. I walked out a door that led to outside the game area and plunged into the abyss while I saw the game area float upwards away from me. It was hilarious.

Allison Road - The game that aims to fill the Silent Hills (R.I.P.) shaped hole in people's hearts.

Holy ****, it's like I just time traveled to a webpage from 15 years ago.

A picture animated gif is worth a thousand words? That's an ice cold stare.

You have a seven fingered hand? Badass! I just hope, for your sake, that you've not done any harm to the family of Inigo Montoya.

She wouldn't be very quiet if she kept talking all the time, now would she?

For me, Frictional does a really good job of constantly weighing on my nerves in their games. They create foreboding really well, in my opinion. I think it has a lot to do with their sound production, which is flat out terrific, as far as I'm concerned. The ambient sounds, the breathing of your character, his heartbeat, the sound effects, even for mundane things like knocking a plastic bin over, they all work really well together to constantly make you feel on edge. I don't much care for jump scares, I find they lose their effect rather quickly (once or twice will get me, after that it's like "another jump scare, whatever"), and Frictional does use jump scares also, sparingly, thankfully, though their jump scares tend to be of the audio variety rather than visual. However, constant tension definitely gets to me, I can only take that weight on my shoulders for a little while before I get real uncomfortable and have to walk away for a bit, which is why I tend to play Frictional Games' titles in short spurts. As for Isolation, I've purposely avoided in-depth reviews and most discussion of the game, since I want to play it eventually, but I have heard from several sources that the game outstays its welcome. I'll find out soon enough, I guess.

Well, I'll probably still find Isolation scary because I'm a wuss. The couple times in SOMA that were quite tense for me. I'm sure for some people it was like whatever, but I was like "nope, nope, nope, nope, nope".

I'm a little over 2 hours into SOMA and I really dig the game so far. I have to say that it's been less scary (there have been a couple tense parts) than I anticipated, but plenty disturbing. It's still early into the game, so plenty of room for getting me frightened to come, plus I'm a bit of a wuss, so less scary is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm definitely keen on finding out more about what's going on. Plus, there's no shortage of other scary games for me to play in the coming weeks with the long rumored Linux port of Alien: Isolation becoming a reality in less than a week and Fatal Frame 5 coming in about a month.

That thought definitely crossed my mind, but that almost seems too obvious.

Dragon Age: Inquisition: Maximum Menial Labor Edition

Wait for the twitter hashtag #notallpedos. #JaredDidNothingWrong

And it's been postponed by about a month. Maybe they can use that extra month or so to implement an option for static level creatures in user created adventures? Please? Pretty please, with a cherry on top?

So, Jets good, Colts bad, or a little bit of both?

Not at the very beginning, anyway, but where I left off things just got weird and I could sense unfriendly things were going to be happening. [shameless plug]Check out my first LP video if you want to see how the game begins. I scheduled the video to go up in about an hour (9:30 AM EDT), though it probably won't have a 1080p/60 version for several hours longer and longer than that for 1440p/60.[/shameless plug]
