I seem to have stumbled upon another “type” of game that I enjoy. The kind of game where you try to break it. Not actually break it but you take its rules and gameplay and find ways to do absurd things with it.
It’s the nature of the game itself and could easily be called “ways to crash your PC”. There was Ball X Pit and CloverPit, Vampire Survivors and Mega Bonk, and now I’m doing the same with Raccoin. I’ll probably stream some gameplay here not long after this has been posted.
I’m always surprised by what can hold my attention. More and more it’s games that let you play for about 30 minutes or so before you’ve done what you needed or wanted to do and then it’s your choice to continue or to stop. It always makes me wonder if my tastes are changing but then I look at what’s coming out that’s exciting to me and realize that no, my tastes are just as they’ve always been. I say that because I saw a new video of the Lego Batman game due next month and I’m just as excited for it as I would be any other game in the Arkham series.
In other news, Matt’s still alive and finally getting around to Cyberpunk. And finally getting around to joining us for his first episode of the year.

In no news whatsoever, we’re still waiting on Splinter Cell. Ubisoft, it’s been 4,626 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released.
Also, there’s been 3,248 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.
