Finished The Strain, book one in the Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan vampire trilogy. Starts out strong, but it tends to jump between characters a bit too much, there's also some parts that get a bit boring around the middle, but then it picks back up until Overall, an enjoyable vampire story that focuses on vampires being scary bloodhtirsty monsters, but one that falls short in some areas, certainly a book written as the first part of a larger story so there's a ton of unresolved mysteries and characters that only show up for a couple of pages at the end but that will undoubtedly play a bigger role in the following books. It's also been turned into a TV show if anyone prefers that, though from what I've seen, one of the characters was changed considerably from the book version which has caused some issues among fans, specially due to said character's role in the series. The show so far covers books one and two, with the next season being about book three.

National coverage of this has been interesting, they've been talking a lot about how surprising it was that the latino votes went (according to their stats) 63% Clinton 27% Trump, with the remaining 10% undecided, though they did mention that it is unknown how many people actually went and voted vs how many stayed home, this is interesting and sparked some (heated) discussions about who these people are and why would they vote that way considering the implications of choosing that man. Coverage has been going all day, though some people insist that we shouldn't care as we can't do anything, others have mentioned that due to the implications this election holds for our country, we should pay close attention. Hell of a day.

Siege tanks with integrated spine crawlers! \m/ \m/ Edit: DeepMind now working with SC2, that's pretty cool, looking forward to what it'll be capable of doing after some practice.

Pandorum, from what I remember (been a while ) it does fit the bill.

Resident Evil-esque enemies confirmed!

Just remembered that I haven't finished The Witch and the Hundred Knight, not a horror game, but it's pretty into the halloween spirit. \m/ \m/

SAG-AFTRA voice actors have gone on strike: http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/10/21/video-game-voice-actor-strike-begins

It looks really cool, and I hope that Mario game is a launch title. \m/ \m/ From being in that list makes me hope for an Armored Core Switch (or whatever name they go with) that would be awesome \m/ \m/

Unlocking the special costumes was awesome in RE4, Leon with the gangster outfit and the Chicago Typewriter was really cool, but what made it awesome was Ashley in the suit of armour, watching the ganados trying to lift her and failing over and over again was great. \m/ \m/

Never been a big fan of inventory management in the RE games, though arranging stuff in RE4 was kinda relaxing so I don't mind that one too much.

Anyone here still playing? Haven't tried co-op yet, looks fun, but everyone I know that plays SC completely forgot about it after Fallout 4.

We fry them with the shell still on, supposedly to better preserve the flavour, also, we eat the head, which made it surprising when looking at some recipes online which called for the heads to be disposed of.

Insects as food are pretty common here, fried crickets with salt and lemon are delicious, there's also escamoles (ant larvae) which are super expensive but totally worth it. Chinicuiles aren't slimy at all once you toast them a bit, they're slightly soft on the inside but none of that slimy-goo-dripping-out-them kind of thing , they're salty and crunchy, so eaten by themselves, it's like eating a crisp. When added to other stuff they replace salt and add a bit of smokey flavour. I've seen some restaurants in other countries use crickets instead of meat for hamburgers, and even as flour for cakes and other stuff, always thought those uses were kinda weird, but I guess you need to find a "friendly" way to present this kind of stuff to people not used to it.

We're making some salsa de chinicuiles, essentially, you take these little fellas, toast them a bit and throw them into a molcajete (mortar) with roasted tomatoes, habanero(or serrano or whatever you prefer) onions and garlic.

Aside from the asteroid shooting bit (which I hate because I suck at it ) I prefer DS over DS2. I just like the creepy ship where everyone's dead thing more than creepy space city where everyone's dead. DS3 was a thing though. The Awakened DLC was way better but still not enough to redeem itself.

Started Dead Space and Dead Space 2, both are still pretty creepy even after playing through them a couple of times, also played through DS Ignition, mostly to re-unlock the conduit rooms in DS2 as that one is not about scary horror stuff but rather about solving puzzles.
