23. Worms Armageddon
24. To The Moon
As Dear Esther already showed, a game doesn’t need compelling gameplay to be a good game. But is a good narrative enough for a good videogame? Would To The Moon have been as good as a movie? I’m sure smarter people than I (1/14)

Video games are amazing because…

They turn time into memories.
Effort into mastery.
Lonely hours into meaningful ones.

Sometimes they’re just fun.
Sometimes they’re the thing that keeps your head above water.

Either way…this medium is special.
And I’m grateful it found me 😊💙

#DendensMovieDen. No. 155. Mallrats. I’ve been dying to dive into the View Askewniverse for the Movie Den. Mallrats might not be the best, it holds as much nostalgia to me for the days of...erm...in between studying as the likes of Clerks or Dogma. We’d gather as many good friends into (1/10)

25. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
26. Age of Empires II: Age of Kings

I suppose it’s difficult to believe I’m also a big RTS fan when taking a quick glance at my top 400, with the genre quite poorly represented overall. My own theory is that, besides the fact(1/11)

#DendensGamingDen. No. 151. Pokémon Red (1999 PAL region, Game Boy)

Personal status: Ranked at 70 in Top 400, the game that taught me the ins and outs of RPGs. Shares its spot with Yellow, which is basically the same game with some added colour and a companion. (1/10)

Best study music? For 25 years now: The Sims OST. Perfect for building, but studying as well. Calming, without being sleep-inducing. Energetic, without being distracting. The Sims was a brilliant game, and the soundtrack was the best.

What's your favourite study music?

We put our curses on a company and move on. For those attached to the project, for those whose careers depend on this one shot, it's devastating. Between dabbling in AI and the latest example of mismanagement, I am severely disappointed in Ubisoft. Just stop, Ubisoft. Please, for all our sakes.

This was where it started for me.

Before I knew what a JRPG was.
Before I knew games could be sad, or angry, or beautiful in a way that lingered.
There was just a girl in the dark, a city of steel and smoke, and music that felt heavier than it had any right to be.

This was my first Final Fantasy 💙

Playing Mission: Impossible on PS1 after 25 years is just how I remember it: clunky controls with difficulty spikes of clumsy action in between half-arsed stealth sections that are either too easy or give you an instant game over. I fucking love this game. #GameSky #MissionImpossible

27. Crash Team Racing
28. Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

I dabbled in the original when the whole concept of the Oddworld series was still new, but gaming outside of my Game Boy and Game Boy Color in general was still a new concept for me as well. (1/12)

And most video games in general, I’m always looking to broaden my horizons! Let’s chat :)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 155. Of the many albums they made, there was bound to be a Jethro Tull album that felt like something was missing. Under Wraps isn't bad, but it feels like they played it relatively safe with this one, lacking creativity and energy. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #Vinyl #JethroTull

Share one of your favorite lines from a horror movie.

Hellraiser III's full of them. My favourite is this:

Pinhead: Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh. (1/2)
