Culture kills... wait, I mean cutlery: Review: Pinball FX 2
http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2014/04/review-pinball-fx-2.html
Wednesday, April 02, 2014. Review: Pinball FX 2. When I was a kid, I loved pinball. I was always excited when I'd go to an arcade or a convenience store and they had a new pinball machine to play. The sounds and music from classic tables are still implanted in my brain even now, and I remember all the good times I had back then. But the last time I really played a pinball game on a console or PC, it was way back in the days of the Atari 2600 with a game called Midnight Magic. At its heart, Pinball FX 2.

Culture kills... wait, I mean cutlery: Two Types of Geek Friendships?
http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2014/02/two-types-of-geek-friendships.html
Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Two Types of Geek Friendships? A few weeks ago, a thought struck me, one which I presented to a couple of friends who told me that perhaps I was on to something. I am just spitballing this here because I. Basically, I think there are two general types of geek friendships based on the nature of the individual geekdoms. AI War: Fleet Command. Unapologetically. And I am recommending Brooklyn Nine Nine. To everyone I know in an admittedly hardcore way. Which I really enjoy, but ...

Culture kills... wait, I mean cutlery: Multiplayerphobia
http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2014/03/multiplayerphobia.html
Saturday, March 08, 2014. I've had a bit of a problem the last few years, one which I rarely if ever talk about. You see, I am generally uneasy playing multiplayer games online. But after having given the matter some more thought, it occurred to me that it was the pressure of failure, of screwing up, of letting someone else down, that has been weighing on me all these years. In those situations, you are making a commitment to another person and if you mess up or have to leave, you are wrecking their.

Culture kills... wait, I mean cutlery: My Year In Gaming 2014
http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2015/01/my-year-in-gaming-2014.html
Thursday, January 01, 2015. My Year In Gaming 2014. The fact that I don't even want to mention it by name, and yet I'm still afraid random people might show up here to try to "debate" the merits of said hashtag. I'm saying that knowing that I would financially benefit if they did though. Traditionally, the first game I start in the new year is a rogue-like/procedurally generated game, since they fit with the theme of restarting and putting a new spin on things with every new iteration. Don't Starve.

Culture kills... wait, I mean cutlery: I Am Trying To Understand Gamer Rage Over GOTY Lists
http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-am-trying-to-understand-gamer-rage.html
Tuesday, January 21, 2014. I Am Trying To Understand Gamer Rage Over GOTY Lists. When the PC Gamer Game Of The Year selections were slowly being posted, I'll admit that I took a perverse glee in reading the asinine and outraged comments beneath each one. Like how dare PC Gamer come to a consensus about some games they enjoyed and share those conclusions with the world. For example, I am a subscriber to the magazine, so when they decided that Spelunky. Some people didn't agree:. Again, no one is forcing y...
