I saw part of Rubber (last 30 minutes, give or take) on some movie channel once while drunk at a friend's house. If I give it credit for anything, it was that I watched that entire approx. 30 minutes just to figure out what the hell was happening. I don't know that I could have watched the whole thing, but that section at least had me intrigued in a "what the hell is this?!?" sort of way. |

I liked Mandy, but couldn't stomach Rubber. It felt like it was trying too hard to say, "Hey guys, look how self-aware I am! I am such a self-aware movie and that's cool, right!? Adore me!" |

Appreciate the nod -- I really enjoy my impromptu Amiga adventure, even if my hopes for more X-Out were cruelly dashed. Good times had, regardless. Thanks for the kind words. |

And so the year, this awful, awful year, is done. I am the king of 2020. I do not care for this crown. It sits heavy. |

Once again, I have no excuse for this being late. Sure, I can blame the terrific Stories Untold and the decent The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing for chewing up some of my time, but really it just fall down to being late as usual. |

Thank you very much! I will admit to feeling bad for whoever handles ROTW in October. |

I obviously didn't see this before now. Thanks for offering to help, Jerec. I finally got to work and churned out all three topics in basically one day. |

I was talking to Marc about shooters not long ago, and we commented then that we still tend to review shooters in a very different way than any other type of game. We blamed 2004. I'm okay standing by this. It did knock off X, which is a bastard of a letter now I've run out of X-Com games to write about. |

Heh heh. I wouldn't say I'm "getting into" the super tough platformer genre. It's not something I generally enjoy, but I was in the mood to finally try Meat Boy and it wound up getting its hooks in me enough that I persevered. With Phantom (you do remember correctly), every attempt to fight and win against him was a long way from a checkpoint, so it was just a lot of backtracking for each ill-fated attempt and I had better things to do with my time. I did finally beat him, to end the constant ribbing, and made it a few stages deeper into the game before it lost my interest again. Back then--and now too--I didn't (and don't) see the point in grinding too much with a game beyond the point where I realize I'm no longer having fun. Anyway, thanks for the comments and I'm glad my review could take you down memory lane. It's a great place to visit sometimes! |

Got through the holiday season pretty okay-like, so it's time to do my last RotW of 2020. In 2021! |

I used some images in this review per the instructions on the screenshot page. They appeared just fine in the preview before I submitted it, but now they images are 404'ing on the live review. Looking at the html that gets generated, it generates different url's for the image and link. |

I've mentioned in a few places already but, sadly, the team behind Alpha Polaris folded and rather than pull the game, it's now free on Steam. People should at least pick it up. It's worth the price. |

One of the worst games I've ever played, that Quiet Man. I'm just glad I never have to think about it ever again. |

Thanks Masters! Glad to know my approach is working. I remember seeing the other reviews posted that week, and I knew I wasn't making the top 3. Not that I'm writing these for recognition or prestige or anything. Usually just to get my thoughts out. |
