Beat Warhammer 40K: Boltgun a little while ago. Pretty good overall but the amount of monsters gets a bit over the top at times. Boss fights get tedious and repetitive as well. Now gonna do one last run of the System Shock remake demo before full release tomorrow. Must contain excitement.

Nocturia (having to get up to piss throughout the night) has become more of an issue for me over the past year. Either it's early stage old man problems, or I just need to start cutting off any food and fluid intake after dinner.

Only times I saw them were at the Holocene in Portland, the Showbox in Seattle, and the Imperial in Vancouver B.C. on the 24th, 25th, & 26th respectively back in Sept 2015. As for the ticket prices, I forgor.

Anyone else want more Shobaleader One?/What do we want next outta Tom?

Anything along the lines of FMWT, Hard Normal Daddy, Big Loada, and a few select trax from Selection Sixteen and Damogen Furies for me. Also his NTS set from 22 June 2019, as well as Vortrack (Fracture mix). Basically the hard electronic stuff with high-speed sequenced percussion with a side of retro home computer chip sounds thrown in does it for me. Either way, I can't think of other artists who can match his sequencing prowess, aside from maybe VSnares and 1995-2001 Aphex. -
Seems like the best new games so far this year are all remakes of classics. Apparently E3 got cancelled this year as well. Regardless, I wish companies would focus less on being ambitious or trying to push the envelope and more on making games that are enjoyable and/or original. I think it's completely fine if they draw influence from classics though.

Just beat RE4 remake on Hardcore, smashing the last of the 16 Clockwork Castellans in the process. And now I've unlocked a bonus weapon. Might be a while before I play again though. But I'm sure a Separate Ways DLC is inevitable. Maybe I'll try a Professional run next time and get my ass whooped hard. Also just bought Warhammer 40K: Boltgun. Supposed to be the next great boomer shooter apparently. Guess it's something to play while waiting only one more week for Nightdive's long-awaited System Shock remake (the full release)

The fact that a new AAA video game shares a title with a track from an Autechre album 13 years prior somehow bothers me.

I'm on my second playthrough on Hardcore, coming up on the Verdugo fight. I didn't have the firepower to take him out the first run and ended up just fleeing instead. So hopefully this time, now that most of my guns are maxed. Yeah ammo is quite scarce compared to the original RE4, but at least you don't completely run out for attempting to kill every enemy like in the RE2 remake. And merchant-san is the type of guy you'd wanna have a few drinks with but have to maintain a strictly business relationship.

VHS Head - Phocus (out 7th April 2023)
ambermonk replied to YELLOW's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
Kilgrimol Dissolve is still the top track for me, but Drown A Star is starting to grow on me for some reason. I dunno, feel like there's a surreal juxtaposition of, say, 80s pop/high school films and B horror that I can't adequately pinpoint in words, yet it's something only VHS Head can achieve. -
Finally beat RE4 remake today. Well done, Capcom, well done. Now time for a new plus playthrough on Hardcore with all my carried-over gear. Hopefully I can smash all those stupid-ass clockwork Salazars this time.

Over 25 hrs into RE4 remake and still on the first playthrough...guess part of that is all the backtracking for treasures 'n shit. Finally met the Regenerators though. Felt damn good to grab that special scope. Also, not to spoil anything else, but I get the feeling that at least one Capcom employee has played Carrion.

VHS Head - Phocus (out 7th April 2023)

It's OK. After nearly 55K miles, 8 oil changes, and 8 years (from brand new), I'll risk it. -
VHS Head - Phocus (out 7th April 2023)
ambermonk replied to YELLOW's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
On my second listen of this album now. Gotta say that Adrian Blacow has made a strong return overall after a near 8-year hiatus. A bit difficult for me to pick a fave track atm. But I like Skinflex, Fake Sweat, & Kilgrimol Dissolve in particular. I also noticed that Strange Tangents has the same crystalline bell sounds as Body Magic from PoV, or at least it sounds like it. Will probably be putting this on loop in the car for the next several months, as it's the only new music I genuinely appreciate atm. Ae be either slackin or teasin us as of late, so this is the next best thing as far as I'm concerned. -

Damn. I honestly don't know that much about him, but I remember his music vids appearing frequently on MTV AMP back in the late 90s. Will have to check out more of his work as a posthumous tribute. 坂本さん安らかに眠れ (RIP)
