The shot of dopamine I felt when I finally saw that save station while playing the medical section of #AlienIsolation ... As good as any weed, methinks.

I'm just curious -- has anybody actually asked a Working Joe about Sevastapol's safety protocols? #AlienIsolation

Just watched this again with my goddaughter for our weekly movie night. Such an effectively creepy movie. Highly recommended.

"Exceeded all expectations." What if the expectation was it was gonna suck? Does that mean is sucks even more than expected? #JiustCurious

This is one reason I love this artist so much. Absolute pandemonium, with heavy pounding beat and a little light, ethereal fiddle in the mix. Plus a crazy guitar solo from (I think) Dean Arnold. Holy crap..

Not just CM Punk's entrance music -- still as relevant as ever. As well as a kick ass tune with compelling vocals and lyrics and a scorching guitar solo.
