Season 1 was one of my favorite anime binges in a long time. Such a fun mix of thoughtfulness (movement through time), silliness, and cool scenes (The Ruins of The King's Tomb). I can't wait to watch season 2. I know it's airing as I write this, but I like taking in entire seasons at once if I can manage it.
It's fun thinking about this game. I think it's a great game for people to play even if they don't have the nostalgia. Holds up well. Steam Deck verified (naturally). There are more and more indie FPS games inspired by Half-Life 2 and some of its styles and gameplay loops - and all of them are so fun. O.G. Halo + This, and you have the backbone and inspiration of a lot of great games.
One of my favorite games ever. Does anyone else remember the promotional VHS tape that Nintendo Power sent out to promote this game? As a kid, that was the coolest thing. I bought a Super Nintendo because of it.
This game is simple, fun, and moves fast. The dealer moving every round lets everyone have a moment where they're 'leading' the game, but it's nothing more complicated than flipping cards for people. I have two groups of people that I'll play board games with - people that love a lot of thinking, and ones that just want to have uncomplicated fun. Flip 7 is awesome for people that want to have un-complicated fun. The unique makeup of the deck (12 12's, 11 11's, etc) and the extra bit of card variety with a few actions and bonuses creates a good mix. For more 'party night' style board game events, this is one of the best.
The Dice Tower is the single best source for board game info. Tom is a champion of the hobby. Genuine, open, and hardworking. I get nostalgic and sad whenever one of the main voices on the show changes roles or moves on. For as long as Tom continues producing content, I'll be watching.

I know this game is divisive, but I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Part of me thinks the divisiveness comes from whether you're up for punishing games. Right now, I don't want a game to kick my butt after a long slog of a day. I just want to have fun and explore. This is it. Vantage has plenty of medium-level challenge and decision space. But you fail forward and get to have an incredible experience.
Too many open world, exploration games punish you for exploring. Vantage is refreshing and absolutely awesome.
Easy Delivery Co. is such a wonderful gem of a game. If you have a retro driving itch, this is a great pick. I was looking for an atmospheric driving game, and this satisfied that itch perfectly. While the graphics are PS1 era, the snow brought me back to the Donkey Kong Country snow/blizzard level - and it was just perfect. Highly recommend checking this one out.
