8 episodes into the new Dexter and I’m having so much fun with it. And it’s not just oodles of nostalgia. That’s there, obviously, but putting him in New York with his group of “WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THIS PROGRAMME” not-pals has added so much too.

Finally put on the first episode of the new Dexter, absolutely furious at myself that I can’t shake the Michael C. Halls. Especially true after that dreadful prequel series.

Apropos of nothing, been thinking about how the mention of Sunset Overdrive conjures up strong feelings for those that played it, over ten years later. There are a lot of games from that era that made much more money and are far less memorable.

Creature in the Well was a wonderful pinball-infused hack and slash game from a few years ago. Your sword is basically a portable flipper, and you fire balls at bumpers in a room, destroy all of them, and then move onto the next room. It's great fun. store.steampowered.com/app/852300/C...
