Abject Suffering 16: Road Runner's Death Valley Rally
Kole has become unstuck in time. This is the epicenter of his primary dissonance: how can he be a 26 year old man, but appreciate Road Runner cartoons and Nick at Nite? The only explanation involves temporal fuckery, and a holistic approach to why he is entirely out of touch with this modern American world. Dream on, and play a bad platformer, you pilgrim of the (pre)modern age.

Watch Out for Fireballs! 51: Indigo Prophecy
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross express a chilly attitude toward Indigo Prophecy.It’s the strongest opening in adventure game history: Lucas Kane has murdered a man in cold blood, and he has no idea why. The rest of the game is dedicated to unraveling this mystery… and the answer is disappointing.LINKS OF NOTE:Hardball: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4aah1KY5vAScatman Crother’s bedroom: adhoc-staging.s3.amazonaws.com/cache/ima…image.jpgTheory of...

Abject Suffering 15: Where's Waldo?
Saving Private Ryan started out as a Where's Waldo film adaptation. True fact. But Spielberg descended into the heart of darkness, gradually turning Martin Handford's whimsical vision into a twisted hellscape of severed limbs and broken hearts. This NES game is a re-telling of that re-telling.
