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!

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...
  Fractal Space Demo Review (Xbox One) I recently decided to start making a list of interesting looking Xbox One game demos to try out, and I figured as long as I’m trying them out, I could review them too! It might seem strange for me to be reviewing a games demo over its full release, but I can’t always afford to be buying new games, and sometimes I want to buy a game but it has DRM or it’s from a company I don’t want to give money to so I just play the free demo instead. Speaking of such -many companies won’t even put demos out for their games anymore, (or if they do it’s a limited time only DRM affair) so as a potential customer, I want to let y'all know that getting try your game before I pay for the full version greatly increases the chance of me being interested in doing so! All that said, onto my review of this charming little game demo, Fractal Space! Fractal S...
