one of the greatest party videogames of all time, right up there with mario party / kart, smash, etc. at first glance it is a game about ducks killing each other - and that is an appropriate literal description of what happens in it - but it's actually the world's greatest collaborative engine for spontaneous slapstick comedy.
blow up your friends with dynamite strapped to an rc car; hit them with a mind control ray and then make them jump into a sawblade; convert them to your religion and by reading them the Good Word (pictured); ride a chainsaw across the ground so fast that it literally leaves a blazing trail and sets you, the stage, and everyone else on fire.
it's genuinely amazing, and even after playing it for ten years i learn something new literally every time i play it with a new group of people. cannot recommend enough - it's $12 on steam and usually goes on crazy sales

GOATED VIDEO GAME (pun intended).
its like if animal crossing was evil. you get to start a cult and recruit members that you take care of and go on quests in magical forests to keep them fed and safe.
you also get to design your land, and get to pick out what your cult members look like, along with their names. best part is that it gets easier and easier the more you play! Fun storyline, a bit spooky, and straightforward. I could play this game all day and never get bored.

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
