Off Topic - Unique Experiences

   There's a game up on Steam called Superhot. It's a first-person shooter where time only moves when you move and the action is intense, so you must carefully plan out each action before you take it. You can punch a guy, snatch his weapon out of mid-air, shoot him with it, and throw that weapon at someone else within the span of a couple of seconds because most of the game is in bullet-time.

   This game also costs $25 for what is roughly 2-3 hours of actual content. "But it's worth it because it's a great, unique experience you can't get anywhere else!" No it's not. Hear me out. 

   Most games offer unique experiences. I'm putting that before the page break, since if you can't understand that, there's no point in reading on. Though I encourage you to do so anyway!

Salty Balm - Dirty Bomb Review

   Dirty Bomb is a class-based FPS developed by Splash Damage, published by Nexon, and available on Steam. You take control of up to three dangerous mercenaries and try to complete objectives in spite of the enemy team.


   This game is very objective-based, meaning there is no deathmatch mode and your kill/death ratio isn't the most important thing in the world. Though you can probably act as if it is, since killing is essential and you're still going to lose if you can't do that. But hey, it doesn't all have to be mindless bloodshed, right? ...it does? Okay. Well, this game has that and more as you escort EVs, blow up pylons, and deliver... "objectives". However, let's delve into whether or not it's worth your time to do so.
