• something awful hiding in the basement, lurking unseen for months. Finding out what it is is always a dreadful moment. (This has mostly stopped.)

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but 2016 was really more of a filler year. Not even a particularly good one. I got a job, but I just worked and was bored. And the politics... oh god the politics. I can only hope our country doesn't completely go to shit in 2017, that we still have some semblance of a democracy at the end.

• Alchemilla (Silent Hill mod): Very impressive for a fan-made mod. It's a little slow at first, and honestly even once it gets going, it's never very action-packed. The devs couldn't find anyone to implement weapons, enemies, or inventory, so you'd think the game would be almost unplayably boring, but the strength of the visuals makes it worth it. I hope whoever made this is hired by whichever studio is making Silent Hill these days, because the visuals were spot-on. The gameplay is very puzzle-oriented. It's basically like Silent Hill 1-3 without enemies, but it still manages to be surprisingly creepy. Without enemies though, there's never truly that same feeling of dread as in the real games. 7/10
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent : 8/10
• Bioshock : 10/10
• Bioshock 2 : Worth playing, but doesn't add much to the original. 7/10
