City Photos from the internet

I find big cities very pretty. I've lived in one suburb or another my whole life, so a city felt foreign to be in, and thus like an adventure every-time. I especially developed a fondness for the look of Ukrainian and Russian cities, thanks to games like Half-Life 2 and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Now if only these lovely looking countries could be free of putin's invasion and both country's anti-lgbt bigotry...

Here is a screenshot of a city skyline from a youtube music video titled ""30 seconds to mars + sia + eurythmics - hurricane breathe me again (mill mr dj mashup)" (that's a mouthful, I know!)"

You can find a lot of wonderful photograpy on tumblr! Here is a love winter trainyard photographed by user "573p5". You can view their works here.

Ammo1007 is another talented photographer on the site. They have many nice photos of winter and city environments. Some have a nice liminal space quality to them, too. You can view their works here:

Here's a nice eerie one. Apparently this is called a "depth map settlement" in Russia. I don't know what that is, but it sure looks cool and spooky. The source is unknown for the rest of the photos I'll be sharing.

Old dirty rugs being used as a path in Russia. Strange use of a rug, but it's very pretty and gives the space lots of personality!

Assorted Photos - Misc 01

The Rest of my posts in the "Assorted Photos" series will just be from miscellaneous places. Big rock near a local shopping area that looks like a frog. A sign I found in a somewhat hard to find area of the Half-Life 2 mod "Black Snow". I never did figure out if it was a secret puzzle or anything.... "Cougar Squad!" from the Quake 4 video by Civvie 11, I think. He's a really fun Youtuber, go check him out! Some cool and colorful bike racks I found at a Beers and Queers event. The Dickson Street Book Shop seemingly taking a jab at fascist republican losers. A small collection of furry cereal mascots. Our local Harps Grocery Store has a plushie claw machine that I always enjoy looking side of. I don't play it, because claw machines are bullshit, but I love seeing the plushies. This time they had what looks like a knockoff of Sans from UnderTale! Along the usual assortment of adorable colorful animal plushes.

Artist Spotlights - Natalia Trepenok

Natalia Trepenok is artist who makes wonderful animal art for story books. I recall seeing some painted murals in the third S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game that even reminds me of her work!

Dead Space (Xbox 360) Review

Dead Space is a survival horror game set in - you guessed it - space! Specifically, the USG Ishimura. You'll follow protagonist Isaac Clarke as what started as a an attempt to fix up a spacecraft turns into an wonderful example of "everything that can go wrong definitely will". The story takes several twists and turns and you'll even get to venture beyond the game's central location a few times! As usual, I won't go too deep into the story because I'd like you to be able to experience it for yourself if you've never played the game! I quite it enjoyed it though, and the game created a good sense of isolated fear while also making me concerned for the safety of Isaac's few surviving crew-mates throughout the game. The combat is very intense as most of the creatures you'll encounter move in a very violent and erratic manners, and you'll want to target their weak points - usually the limbs. Thankfully, the game has a cool upgra...
