Reading assignment

Reading list I've been wanting to do this for a while. With all the gaming that I've been doing recently, and with all of the social media I've been devouring, I feel like my attention span has wasted away to almost nothing. And so, I'm beginning a project where I actually read all of my actual, real, sitting lonely on a shelf books. We've accumulated so many books over the years that even though we've started to buy more and more digital books, we still have a small library's worth of books in our house. The project is daunting, so I'm starting small. One small shelf in one of our shorter bookshelves. It's full of classics mostly, with some contemporary fiction. Some of them I've already read, but that's OK. First up is: You know, an light and easy read to start. Happy reading everyone!

Gloomy day, gloomy gaming

The Three Kegs Inn, The Black Mirror Just when the heavy humidity, draped over everything, became oppressive, the clouds ruptured and rain sluiced down, saturating the roads and earth.  Hah. Gloomy days always fill me with buckets of purply prose. Summer's coming to an end for sure. Yesterday, evening crept in earlier than ever, and this morning, it's 841 am, and the angle of light coming in my window is flatter, no longer high and sharp as it is during the hot days of July.  It's the perfect morning to play a bit of The Black Mirror . I've been slowly replaying this cult classic, which was released back in 2003. If you read the comments for the review on AdventureGamers.com , you'll see they run the gamut from "one of the worst games I've ever tried to play" to "black mirror ROCKSSSSS." The prerendered backgrounds are detailed and full of atmosphere, but, yes, the voice acting is emotionless at times and nonsensical at others....
