    Life outside of games and Spalls? This is definitely something
    different, and I'm wondering what prompted such blasphemy that would
    separate you from deeply researching and/or memorizing every gaming
    title on the planet and exploring the taste of toe jam between each
    and every one of them as a mission :)

    Spalls... did you finally get a girlfriendor something?

    (And creeping around Asia doesn't count as legit girlfriend :)

    "Hellblade 2" is on my "eventually wishlist". It's a game I want to
    play, but am in no hurry to get. The original was an intriguing mix of (fairly easy) Souls-like combat and walking-sim, and in terms of
    gameplay wasn't particularly good. It's story was a bit anvilicious

    Hi, I just had to mention: I had trouble with "anvilicious" until I
    found it on

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/anvilicious

    ...threw me for a loop! ;)

    Also, possessive "it" doesn't have an apostrophe, but I'm just
    being pedantic. ;) If I were more inclined, I'd cross-post to alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe, which is a real newsgroup
    (believe it or not).

    Otherwise, keep up the good work...you are quite a wordsmith. :)

    too,
    but I enjoyed its attempt to create an atmosphere of mental uncertainty
    that reflected its protagonists own viewpoint. Plus, I'm a sucker for
    Nordic mythology.

    But the original game ended conclusively enough that I think it didn't warrant a sequel (and, in fact, that any sequel would weaken the impact
    of the original's story), so I'm not thrilled that there even _is_ a "Hellblade 2". I certainly don't expect the gameplay to be any better.
    But I got enough enjoyment from the first to at least want to give the
    second game a try.

    Just not until it radically drops in price.

    I've meant to ask since you list Duo Lingo, has it become a game? Or
    what do you do in it?

    I've used it for language learning (Italian) years ago but I felt it
    sucked. Too much of too simple exercises.
