Ogier the Dane is ready to fucking go!

From his wiki page: "Ogier in Danish legend is said to dwell in Kronborg Castle, his beard grown down to the floor. He will sleep there until the day when the country of Denmark is in the greatest peril, at which time he will awaken and save the nation."

What four classic* video games to you find yourself replaying no matter how old they are?

These are mine:

*"Classic" = at least 15 years old.

Everything feels like it sucks, but before you give up hope remember that Jeff exists. That's something positive.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Finally got around to Down Cemetery Road. Emma Thompson would make an excellent Hartnell/C. Baker/Capaldi strain of Doctor.

Yeah, I can live with this.

A very big thank you to DigiPen for inviting me once again to evaluate World Bible projects written and assembled by their narrative design students.

Note: Stock photo alert. It was too dark and rainy to take a photo tonight of the campus.
