Everyone should go play Firewatch because it was recommended in chat and just came out today and I am playing it and it's beautiful and also fun and immersive. It is a 1st person narrative puzzle/mystery adventure game blah blah. Basically you are a sad sack named Henry who is stationed as a Firewatch in isolated Wyoming national forest country. Things seem normal at first, and then something happens and things get strange.

Seriously this game is pretty. Really pretty.

And the voice acting is excellent, understated and charming.

Also there shall be no anime in this thread.

What could he have been thinking of when he shot his best friend? What in God's name can he be thinking of now?

    If I lived in Dixville, NH, I would be that one asshole who showed up right before polls closed so they had to stay open all day.

    on the one hand, I still have not gotten an email or call to schedule a phone interview at that polling company

    on the other hand, it's a political consulting polling company, and New Hampshire had its primary today, so maybe they're a bit busy

    It's on Steam yeah. I think it's 20 bucks and it was 18 last night with that sale they had going on. Not sure if it still is.

    Oh and The Simpsons hasn't qualified as animation in like 10 years. It was officially declared a dark necromantic ritual long ago. A sort of bizarre, endless act of corpse-animation that lumbers on inexplicably leaving everyone to wonder why we didn't just leave grandma in the ground like God intended.

    so hey nerds

    power supply fan

    up so it pulls air out of the case or down so it pulls in from below the case?

    down seems like madness but the natural screw configuration points that way

    it can work both ways though so I went up becasue I'd rather cool my power supply with warmer air than suck a bunch of cat hair into it

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    One of these days I am going to get a terrible costume and make a series of youtube videos as an angry fire person in the milieu of a WASP who is angry that water-based organisms go around expressing their fluids everywhere instead of keeping it in the home.

    Great, yet another game everyone is splooshing over, but I can't play because it's download only.
