Hey there. :) Short attention spans are certainly something to be celebrated. In my case at least, it means pretty much never being bored, as you just forget to. :)

I'm about to watch a bit of teevee myself (though I can't decide between wrapping up season 1 of Fargo or wrapping up season 1 of Fear the Walking Dead. I've got 3 episodes left of the former, 1 of the latter.)
As for gaming, I had a little tiny taste of Mercenary Kings last night, and it seems like it will be a perfect fit for couch co-op time with the lady, if I can get her into it. I'm never sure which games she'll take to (we have some very different genre preferences and such) but this one is just so easy to pick up and play. But... it's not easy. Holy crap, it's not easy. Probably because I just suck in general, but holy crap. Speaking from 20 minutes only, I'm guessing it's going to be a tough one.
Finishing up a CD of homemade music a friend sent me (we made music together in our youth, and he's still a musician... i never really was, just pretended for a short while) and writing some responses to it, then it's on to some television and likely another pot of coffee to help round out the night. :)

I'd like to second this request, as he's recently sent me a rather high-quality game just for the heck of it.

Your version is better than mine. Mine's just enough that it's both annoying and noticeable.

I'd say go with Fargo. Enjoyed both seasons of that quite a bit.

Hmm. I've seen a video of that one, and the person playing it didn't get very far. It looks like it gets very in-depth with gathering resources to make weapon and item upgrades.

Sounds like you've got a pleasant late evening planned, that's good. =)

For me, it's a combo of Mega Man, going back to Resident Evil 4, watching a Let's Play of Silent Hill: Downpour, and I think I actually have Mercenary Kings installed on my computer right now.

Goodnight Fredland, and always remember that Orange has 2 syllables.
(oops, a little bit of teacher slipped out there) :-)
Y'all sleep well when you get around to it.

I'll do my best, I hope you sleep well too. Have a good night, Endre. =)

Please don't make me dance. I know dancing hushes this place up right quick. ;)
Have a great night!

Speaking of +1's, if people would be so kind as to pass some NoNewTale's way when you see a post from them, I'd greatly appreciate it. =)

I can't find a way to make myself lean toward one show or the other, so I'll go with Fargo just because I have more left to watch, and I'm not feeling anywhere near sleep just yet. :)

The first Resident Evil was the first "horror game" I ever played. I loved horror movies as a kid, but lost interest as I grew up as they were just never effective, I guess? So apparently all it takes is throwing in the illusion of some degree of control. If I've none, no worries. If I've even a bit, like say, by holding a gamepad and controlling the dude when the first undead thing comes crawling out from under a car to attack, I apparently don't respond well. In that particular case, I grabbed my roommate's Playstation and pulled it from the wall. I guess on an instinctual level, unplugging it seemed the quickest way to make things okay again. haha.

Mercenary Kings looks quite promising, but I have a feeling I'll have to watch a couple youtube videos to get a better handle on things as they get more complicated. That seems to be the case with any game that has any crafting or "meta game" aspects though. I only have so much room in my head these days. :)

**No, wait! It was the first Silent Hill. I'm so bad at these things. I all but blocked out the memory.

So I think tonight is the night that I go oohhhwooohoooh (as said in a "telling scary stories with a flashlight in your face" voice) crazy and spend a whole $20 to get a couple of albums that I've been wanting :P

Then in a few weeks/months I'll grab the complete discography of Ayria, Allison Crowe (Again. She used to be on Jamendo a long time ago) and The Machine In The Garden. Gotta love Bandcamp's new-ish "buy everything at once and get a discount" deal.

Do it! I'm a bad influence in that regard though. I've spent more on music this year than I'm used to. It's been a surprisingly good year for music, though. :)

I haven't bought a lot on Bandcamp, but I adore the site and general approach, and I love the ability to "subscribe" to certain artists for support/catalog streaming rights. I need to go there and just browse more. I haven't done that in a good while. Lots of great music to be found.

I hope you've had a lovely weekend!

I'll definitely be doing it in a few minutes haha. I'm grabbing the new Warmer album, the latest full length album by Nicole Dollanganger (and I'm kicking myself for not grabbing what appeares to have been a time limited single by her) and I'll see if there are any unknowns that need a few bucks :P Any recommendations?

I hope you've had a good one too! Always glad to see you around :)

I'm not familiar with Warmer as far as I know, but I'll look into them. I would have said I wasn't familiar with Nicole Dollanganger, but I'm guessing maybe you've recommended her to me in the past? I pulled some up on youtube and was surprised to find it somewhat familiar. Very pretty stuff. *edit: shows how great my memory is? At least now I can make an Outlook "task" to look up more, haha

I think my favorite Bandcamp discovery has to be a guy who releases music under the name Lowercase Noises. It's almost all instrumental (occasional samples with voices, but only one song I can think of with actual lyrics) guitar music, and very sleepy stuff, but incredibly pretty. I don't believe he has a record label yet (and he's currently trying to put together a US tour by way of email, as he's just playing people's houses instead of clubs and such, which I think is a really cool idea... I thought of inviting him here, but the cul-de-sac we live in has nowhere for even a crowd of 10-20 people to park... just don't think we could accommodate, which is a real shame.)

Here's one of my favorite albums of his: http://music.lowercasenoises.com/album/carry-us-all-away

It's always good to see you around as well! I'm always open to recommendations as well, whether on bandcamp or just music that's "to be found, out there in the ether." I'll send out some carrier pidgeons if I have to. :)

Though not on Bandcamp that I know of, here's another that I just have to share, as it's had me wiggling a bit too much lately. The pup even wiggles every time it comes on. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7O0rBGSqjI

I watched Fargo pretty much back-to-back, then grabbed the second season when I could and did the same thing.
I'm partial to that one.

-laughs- Hey, that works. Probably for the best that you stopped early, Silent Hill's supposed to be hard on the nerves.

I'll have to play it to get a good feel, but it definitely looks heavy on the crafting. Figure it'll take a bit to learn the mechanics fully.


20 whole dollars!?! You maniac, your wallet can't sustain such abuse. ;P

Sunny morning planet and its inhabitants!

Good morning. =)

How are you doing today?
