NEW VIDEO:

I got sent a review copy of Tom's Crossing, the new book from the author of House of Leaves, Mark Z. Danielewski.

It's an incredible book and I absolutely loved reading it. So join me for my first book review for the channel!

I've seen people say a few times lately that Dead Money is the worst New Vegas DLC, and I'm just going to interpret this as Lonesome Road being so slim that it's getting overlooked or forgotten.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

In less anger/despair/weird news, I finished Citizen Sleeper 2 the other day and man... what a game. Like the first, it requires some patience to see it develop before it really lays out its best punches and tricks, but the reward justifies the path taken. The end is frankly genius.

Depiction =/= endorsement. It's a horror game designed to push buttons and clearly not meant for gratification. Everything you listed features in numerous other games on Steam, excepting maybe the horse mounting which is no worse than a trip to a zoo or watching a nature documentary.
I agree steam banning random games for not real reason would be stupid, but like.... the trailer for the game contains non direct nudity, implayed slavery, hanging person, footage of horse sex and general degerate behaviour.
I get steam here.

Steam's practices of banning games with little explanation and no course to appeal frankly Fucking Sucks. I'm trying to finish a video on another game that was also banned this year and, like here, unrelated to reasons with the payment processor fiasco. It's an awful trend.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Weird thing happened:

I don't have screenshots, but someone called Clark Dean commented about 30+ times on the MyHouse video in the last couple of months. They posted one long ramble after another and some people began noticing, but that's all the proof that I have these comments now existed. 1/?

RAM now stands for Random Access Money.

Feeling good I upgraded earlier this year before this.

Flashback to when me and my friends played Yu-Gi-Oh and I read the rules and tried to get everyone to play by the rules and then no-one wanted to play Yu-Gi-Oh anymore.

Out of nowhere reminded of the weirdly good Medabots RPG for the GBA. Man I sunk a lot of time into that.

I have finished ZATO now and it might be one of my favourite games this year. I love it.

It's a very personal love, where it's the right thing at the right place and time and it fits with me specifically so well that I don't know how others would find it but... I really love it. It's free. Play it.
Been playing and enjoying Z.A.T.O. // I Love the World and Everything In It so far. It's a completely free visual novel set in a USSR town where a girl goes missing and you play as hopeless optimist who doesn't believe in evil.

It is a V I B E

USSR, 1986. A girl goes missing in the closed city of Vorkuta-5, yet not a soul seems to be concerned. Uncover the mystery behind her disappearance and transmit your signal to the universe.

I'm playing into the stereotype here, but I grew up for ages thinking I didn't like fish, but after have some spicy basa with noodles last night, I've realised that UK cuisine really just sucks.

tl;dr a man got so many reports of toxic behaviour in Deadlock that the entire game went down. Truly aspirational behaviour

Just uploading a snippet of a wild conversation between two Soviet schoolgirls about their reading on The Plague by Camus.

Wasn't expecting to have enjoyed Dispatch as much as I did, but damn, it's a solid game. It has stripped a lot out of the old Telltale formula to go all in on story and presentation, but it works really well when the writing and performances and animation is this solid. Big surprise for me.
