for some reason Valve added a music kit for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive from "trap metal" musician Scarlxrd.

I've listened to it and... it's not great? Better than screechy metal and eurodance anthems to half-baked esports teams, but I'll stick with the other music kits I have, thanks.

I always feel like I'm cheating when I listen to a greatest hits album.

I immediately start thinking of that Doors sketch from Kids in the Hall, feeling like I'm a poser not getting the true experience.

just wanna be pretty...

I sometimes wonder if I should try hrt just to see what it's like

an uncharted-like game where the magic macguffin gives people their wildest dreams, and for Our Hero that's to be the gender they really want to be.

we need an action-adventure game with a trans hero, I'm just saying

friday the 13th more like tired-day the 13th 😴

Oh hey, The Game Awards is happening tonight.

While it may be under a new moniker, the Video Game Awards have always been a hot mess.

To commemorate this occasion, here's something I wrote many years back about the trainwreck of the VGAs:

At that point in my life where I try to think of stuff I want for Christmas and just... struggle with coming up a good amount of stuff.

I mean if I could be more femme in public, I'd just shove my Amazon wishlist with like a dozen dresses, skirts and leggings.

Somehow my blog got like... 70 views yesterday, I think that's a record since I moved the site off wordpress.com.

I always appreciate the 2-3 people who stumble upon my site and then just binge on some of the content, it tells me that what I've been writing for six years is worthwhile

A couple of days ago I removed the shrinkwrap off my James Bond blu-ray collection and am now rewatching the entire series, since it's been a few years.

Dr. No and From Russia with Love are good, competent films that have a few bits of questionable material but are otherwise pretty solid.

I considered writing about the films but putting 1,000+ words into 24 movies is a bit of an undertaking.

Since there's a certain video game awards show happening tomorrow, I updated an old article I wrote back in 2012 so it's more up to my modern standards.

...and that's about as much as I've done today besides take a shower.

I swear, if Giant Bomb recycle last year's GOTY format where the first three days are boring spoiler-filled commentary followed by like 5 hours of deliberating their top ten, I'm straight up skipping them.

That format was garbage, went on for too long, and there was *still* confusion on what categories meant, which they should've figured out by now.

The site's been running for 11 years, by now you think you'd have your GOTY format locked down pat.

I always feel weird when I eat some cereal without milk, like cinnamon toast crunch or frosted mini-wheats.

though I'm probably not the only one, so

Having this Pop Tarts cereal and I just realize they just rebranded Krave cereal but put brown sugar cinnamon inside instead of chocolate.

Not a fan. Maybe it would work as a snack cereal without milk.

New(ish) on the Secret Area: It's Rambo: The Video Game, an action game based on that famous '80s action hero.

Likes, shares and comments appreciated.
