Nier is really cheap at Gamestop right now. I saw it twice complete in the box and didn't get it. This week, I looked for it and didn't see it. DARN!

I dream about gaming stuff frequently now. The last one was: I was living in a house that was burning down and I had to choose quickly what games to grab (apparently there weren't any people to save). I didn't actually get to choose in the dream, but later I thought it might be a good blog topic. What games would you save?

That was super cool, especially since they didn't just port the original game, but tweaked it a bit to make it feel more like New Order. Super great!

I saw them do the song "Bored" on Old Grey Whistle Test and that's about all I've heard of them. That song stuck with me though. It expresses boredom pretty well. 

When it's not fun, it's time to bug out. Co-op is supposed to be fun for all right? Sounds like he was a horrible host. But on the lighter side. I can't wait to play Far Cry 4. It's very high on my list for when I finish Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. And I agree, don't kill the elephants.

Fear Agent is really great. I only read the last handful of issues of it though. I'd like to read that whole series sometime. 

Cool! I'll remember this one next time I'm at a flea market or Goodwill. 

Love that Lego goalie mask! I should pick up a Roots album sometime. I like their retro interests. 

I'm liking this Steve Wilson album, but today, I went back to my 1970 prog playlist. There's something raw and special about the music from that time. Modern music can be overly slick and a little too virtuosic. Like Wilson totally nails some of the prog sound with the dueling Hammond B3 organ and Les Paul guitar stuff, but it's a little bit too good, if you get me. I'd like for him to take that sound and do something totally weird and different with it, not just tug on my nostalgia tentacles.

Everything was going more 3D in the late 90s. Putting characters into third person just showed off the environments better, I think. Tomb Raider was one of the first to be really successful with it. I just wanted more of L.A. Meltdown. Third-person seemed very un-Duke Nukem to me; it's a shooter, not an exploration game.

It's like $25 a year. If you don't go in there much, it's not worth it, but it gives you 10% off everything, even the coffee shop.
