Two rather cruddy Steam games I've tried in a row, that I'll probably end up getting refunds for.
One of them, I'm really not sure what I was thinking when I bought it. I guess I couldn't see/hear the clunkiness/awkward silences whilst watching the trailer. The other one actually looked pretty decent, though!

Both seem to have far more positive reviews than I would have expected.


...I am also deeply Disappointed in myself for shamelessly necro'ing this.

There's a few metal covers of Holding Out For A Hero, one of my favorite songs of all time that could totally be my favorite metal song of all time too. They all unfortunately don't live up to my (really nitpicky) standards. They're all totally listenable but none of them match the original in intensity and feeling.

At least Moon Hunters has turned out to be really good from the brief look I've taken so far!
Seems so much better than I expected... honestly, that soundtrack is beautiful enough that it's probably worth the price of admission on its own.

I used to think that the song "Nehanshika" by Deino3330 must be really deep, based on a translation that used to be the most common one (it's the first section, I couldn't find a better source). Now however a new translation has come out, which totally contradicts the earlier one and reveals the lyrics to be broken Buddhist prayers, anime and pop culture references, and nonsense. The line that was "random consonants grouped together" in the earlier translation literally is random Japanese characters.

Not being a Japanese-speaker of any description, I have no idea which one is more accurate and can't translate the song for myself.

The wonderful vegan bakery down the road was closed, after I gathered up all of my coins and trekked down there in the hopes of acquiring one of the amazing, amazing mushroom pies and a loaf of bread, and I wound up going to some other bakery further on and getting bread there, along with a thoroughly mediocre vegetable pastie instead of the mind-blowing pie experience I had planned on.    

I guess the place is closed on Saturdays. I couldn't see any opening hours for Saturday on the window... maybe they simply decided not to mention on the sign. Odd that they apparently open on Sunday (at least 'til 4 pm), but not on Saturday. Curious. I should have checked first.

There's a Costa Rican restaurant (that's freakin' amazing) where I live that's open on Sundays, but not Saturdays, as well. It is very odd.

Maybe they're Hasidic Jews?

I almost witnessed my first bar-room brawl today.
Keyword is almost.

Did you scream and run away?

Comic I borrowed from the library has awesome art and aesthetics, but rubbishy writing and whiny, douchetacular characters.

Did you scream and run away?

If I remember correctly I just stood there, eagerly watching to see if a proper punch-on would actually occur. Unfortunately not - I think the publican intervened.
Probably wouldn't have been much of a brawl anyway, the place was almost empty and one party was far more physically intimidating than the other.
Would have still been entertaining to see him pulp that other twerp, though!

You do appear to have been so traumatized by the event that it took you a year to reply, though

I saw a barroom brawl once.

I was the chef in an open walled kitchen. At the back, there was pool, a jukebox, and other more electronic games. Two large groups of drunks were back there, 3 to 4 each. Something happened and two medium sized guys started pushing each other. One tripped over our Death Step (random step 4noraisin) and fell into a small candy machine. As he did, the other guy performed an Olympic class, perfect form kick to the face. Fell guy jumped up and they all started brawling. One lady was whaling on a guy with her pool stick, fell guy stumbled into the kitchen wall and turned to glare at me murderously, right over our rack of knives.

So I snatched the entire rack and threw them in the freezer and sat on it. He went back to their fight, then cops came.

You absolute fucking legend, you probably saved some lives that night

My boss was pissed cuz I ripped the rack out of the drywall and she made me repair but yeah I felt pretty good about the whole "no one got stabbed" thing.
