  • The Thief series. I LOVED the first one especially, Thief the Dark Project. Medieval (low magic fantasy?) stealth shooter. The more valuable you pick up directly translates to what you can buy as a load out for the next level so you’re encouraged to explore, though even the low level enemies can kick you ass so you have to be sneaky. Actually great stealth mechanics even for an old game. The world building is amazing, with it’s own lore, culture and slang. The plot of the games are also great.

    The Kingdom of Loathing is a game I’ve played almost non-stop since about 2003. Web based and free, it’s based off of old text based games. But it’s fun. Really fun. And hilarious. The currency is meat. The classes are goofy. Saucerer? Disco bandit? Seal Clubber? A lot of games deal with things like power creep or inflation, or how the heck to get people to actually help pay for it. This game solves problems like these elegantly. The user base is fun and friendly and corporative, there’s always new stuff coming out to try, they do a holiday special every year, and all the pictures are crudely drawn stick figures.










  • Not to rag on your wife but New Yorkers have the worst opinions on pizza. If it’s not made in New York in some corner pizza store they say it’s the worst pizza in existence. They get mad that Chicago Pizza exists. I think if they knew Detroit Pizza existed they would explode.

    I’ve had New York pizza. It’s mid. It’s fine. It’s ok. It’s not the best pizza in the universe guys. It’s convenient because there’s no place to sit anywhere and you can walk and eat it by the slice. I swear they have some sort of collective Stockholm syndrome about it.
