Game Cocktails: The Colt-Fashioned

Rise and shine your guns (again), darling. You’re back on this washed-out shore (again), reeking of Sunday blues and just enough willpower residue left on you. Again. Are you even trying to break the loop? Or are you content to rinse and repeat (again), going through the motions (again), reliving the hazy fragments of mundanity […]

Game Cocktails: Dirty Wastelander

Ain’t post-apocalyptic life just grand. Gambling away at New Vegas casinos, chugging irradiated beers, advocating for ghoul rights, scavenging for toasters… I’ve taken shady jobs, sure. Stole a thing or ten until I couldn’t fast travel. But baby, there’s no denying. I’ve crawled out to the fallout and rejoined society! So come down to my […]

Game Cocktails: All-Mother’s Embrace

Nothing beats the thrill of the hunt. I’d tracked my prey for weeks, picking up on its earthly scent and losing it again in the valley of scattershot ideas. I’d kept chasing it as it grazed away my herb garden. Many dawns had passed. I’d paused. Nay, I let go completely. I held my breath […]

Game Cocktails: Gorący’s Brew

[INTERFACING] [Easy: Success] A new blog post appears. You catch a whiff of beetroot. Disco Elysium is one helluva game… it’s just disco, my absolute GOTY 2019. It’s a slow-cooker stew of hilarious writing, tabletop RPG mechanics, and political commentary. You play as Harry Du Bois, an addict detective trying to solve a murder he’s […]

Game Cocktails: Lemnos Sour

Focus, boy. These runic inscriptions guard a recipe desired by every soul from Midgard to Helheim, dead or alive. They speak of an unearthly beverage that ignites courage, charisma and an occasional dad joke. Many have fallen in pursuit of the Lemnos Sour, pecked to death by Odin’s ravens for seeking its taste after 8 […]

Game Cocktails: Isabelle’s Whisky

The bobber twitched and her heart sunk. Duh, it’s a sea bass. It’s always just a sea bass. It was meant to be a spring of true escapism. An end to all her consumerist impulses and the rat race. But now they come knocking. Reminding her about the loan and so, so many errands. And […]

Game Cocktails: The Final Strand

I’ll say it. Quarantine. With so many of us hunkered down, relying on contactless deliveries, craving oxytocin and small talk… That one game kept cropping up in my head. DEATH STRANDING. Arguably the strangest and most beautiful gaming experience I’ve had in 2019. And now, inevitably, it has inspired me to mix a topical cocktail. […]

Game Cocktails: Noble Pursuit

Ah, the freedom of emergent cooking! Mixing toads, mushrooms, bokoblin horns, apples, and producing a foul mess. The brilliant Breath of the Wild features dozens of gastronomic and potion recipes to discover. But what about the booze? This week I’m paying tribute to a mysterious drink I’ve encountered in Hyrule. Psst…Just don’t tell Link about […]

Game Cocktails: Saint Denis Sazerac

A tumbleweed rolls by a deserted saloon, its doors creaking slowly as if yearning for better days. Dust has long settled on the ornate glassware, covering the traces of many poker games lost and even more drunken shots fired. A rider appears at the prairie’s horizon. She’s determined. She has to keep at it. She’s […]

AI Has Feelings Too: Three Adventure Games to Try

Autumn has a strange effect on my pace of life and game library. I’ve been spending more time on adventure games, walking simulators and just good ol’ stories. Exploring abandoned space stations has been a running theme. Just me, the cosmos, and tons of other people’s things to snoop through… But wait. There’s always an […]
