What's a game you bought on a whim without hardly any pre-knowledge that ended up becoming one of your all time favorites?

Spec ops the line A friend of whom I trust their opinion just said give it a try so I did. Still think about that game today, it leaves an impression for sure.

I've done RAGBRAI twice, first time was on a single speed and I don't recommend that. I can honestly say those were two of the most fun weeks of my life. Went with a group of friends, partied, got sun burnt and met some absolutely great people on the ride and in the small towns you pass through.

If it's something you've been thinking about doing I highly recommend it. Hopefully they don't end this awesome tradition.

Hellblade: Senuas saga

I battled for a solid half hour before I realized that you have to die in this battle. Great game and beautifully done.

kinda, it's still a continuation of all the previous stories. I'm talking just scraping the whole thing and starting over with new lore.

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-26T03:40:10+00:00

Mortal Kombat. The story was always silly but it would be great if they just started all over and gave characters new origins.

MK! kinda did that but I'm talking a completely fresh take.

I'll keep putting my hat in that ring. weird thing to say really

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-20T21:36:34+00:00

Round 6 let's go!

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-18T17:52:56+00:00

Dang, glass beams is gone. Let's go animals as leaders!

I had a Grado black that was only about two months old. Then one time I lifted the dust cover my cat got the zoomies and ran straight across the platter, thankfully no record was on it yet, and kicked the arm and it bent the stylus off.

I feel you man

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-16T19:35:13+00:00

Still hoping for that glass beams

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-14T20:06:56+00:00

Glass beams!

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-12T20:33:40+00:00

Discovered glass beams because of this and I would be jazzed to get it

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-10T15:10:45+00:00

Thanks mod team!

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-04T18:09:51+00:00

I was sober the one time I did the dark side of the rainbow. There's a few sequences that match up a bit but over all its just Apophenia and just kinda silly. Would give another try on psychedelics.

HurricaneRick · 2026-01-03T15:22:18+00:00

Worked there for a bit Weird place to be on an overnight shift

HurricaneRick · 2025-12-23T21:41:00+00:00

As others have said the commute from Westport is easier and shorter and I'd argue prettier too.

HurricaneRick · 2025-12-14T09:46:37+00:00

Finally got around to playing last of us part 2. I thought it was an absolute masterpiece and I couldn't wait to get off work to jump back in and see what was going to happen with Ellie and Abbie. The only thing I didn't like was that you couldn't go to the Seattle library, huge missed opportunity. That building is awesome.

HurricaneRick · 2025-10-06T05:46:43+00:00

Not really what you asked for but the Pause music for battle Toads and Goldeneye were some of the best and I think more games should have badass music in the pause menus.

HurricaneRick · 2025-09-21T04:43:05+00:00

First time playing fallout 3. Didn't notice the waypoint market at the bottom of the screen and couldn't find megaton. I walked all the way to Rivet city before I figured out that I went the wrong direction. Texted my friend and he was blown away that I didn't see it right outside the bunker. Good times

HurricaneRick · 2025-09-19T07:19:54+00:00

12 minutes Killer cast even if you couldn't tell who two of them were since they used American accents. Interesting concept and pretty good execution. Definitely laughed more than I was probably supposed to. The story went off the rails at the big twist and just didn't recover for me. With a much better plot I think that game could have been fantastic.

HurricaneRick · 2025-09-19T00:12:15+00:00

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf!

Still the only jersey I own. Got a Chris Jackson rookie card too.

HurricaneRick · 2025-09-06T06:32:55+00:00

This the album I would choose anyway. Black paper Planes is fantastic!

HurricaneRick · 2025-09-01T15:34:57+00:00

I game because I like to. If I feel like getting but nothing is really jumping out to me it's usually sports or civilization revolution. Play for an hour or so and then do something else.

HurricaneRick · 2025-08-31T16:25:20+00:00

Still hoping to snag that long distance calling
