Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

tonight's pick was MEMORIES OF MURDER (2003). another rewatch, another banger. bong always amazes me with how he balances tone from scene to scene. comedy smashed together with disgust and heartbreak, and it all works. sucks you into the town, makes you care deeply, and leaves you with nothing.

tonight's pick was LEONOR WILL NEVER DIE (2022). i've seen it a couple times before, but it blows my mind every time i watch. i love movies. i love movies where you can tell how fun it was to make. the things we make and the people we make them for are all that matter sometimes.

tonight's pick was SORCERER (1977). can't remember the last time i held my breath the way i did thru half of this. hellish and awesome. only contributes to my theory that 1977 was the best year in movies.

our next game is about getting swole as FUCK with the homies. in order to facilitate that, we've built a rig that allows individual muscle groups to scale up and change shape.
