Now through February 20th, Steam is showcasing games “about romance, heartbreak, or even a desire to remain single.” They also mention it’s their first Valentine’s Day themed game festival, and I hope it’s successful because I’d love to see it replicated in the future. Some of these games may be available on other platforms, but I did not check to see if the sale prices were valid elsewhere. Here are games on sale that I … Continue reading Steam’s Valentine’s Day Game Fest!

Sometimes the follow through is so bad the City of Baltimore files civil contract claims against … Continue reading Folks are Dropping Getting Witchy With It After Organizer Posts Video about Minneapolis
Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite is $2.99! This is book one in the Dorothy Gentleman series, which I know was highly anticipated. Book two is out in March! Did any of you pick this one up?
I really, really love spelunking in the depths of vintage YouTube, and this clip dates back to somewhere between 1999 and 2003, from a sketch comedy show called Smack the Pony. You can tell because it says “Smack the Pony” at the top, but mostly because of the exceptionally good resolution on screen here. Woof. It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and I hope your pink Halloween candy is delicious, and that you are treating yourselves and the … Continue reading Friday Videos Clean the Windows
