Recently came across Boneworks's phenomenal OST while watching Digital Foundry's analysis of Half-Life: Alyx. Nice to see those two VR titles get the credit they truly deserve, and even nicer to jam to their tunes while doing some word-wrangling.

If Greyhound turns out to be as thrilling and isolating as C.S. Forester's The Good Shepherd, I'll be a chipper chum. This reminds me that there ought to be a film based on the exploits of the U.S. Navy Black Cats in World War II's Pacific Front.
Reckon I just stumbled upon my favorite (gaming) soundtrack of 2020 so far. Seriously though, it's amazing that something like Black Mesa exists in the first place. Equally as amazing's the fact that Xen's now worth visiting... and listening to.
https://michelsabbagh.wordpress.com/2018/03/05/welcome-home-becoming-part-of-the-bethesda-family-after-nearly-a-decade-of-enamorment Got caught in a car crash half a lifetime ago. Sent me to ZeniMax for a brief time instead of upstairs.
After weeks of contemplation, I decided to make better use of Goodreads by creating my own book review list, titled "LitBazaar." https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/110903767-michel-sabbagh?shelf=litbazaar
Very unfortunate what GDC went through in light of the coronavirus. Hope that the organizers, attendees, and exhibitors stay safe amidst worldwide woes and that they still get to celebrate game development this year.
Someone by the name of Arne has been whipping up tribute art for Shogo: Mobile Armor Division lately. Thrilled that I ain’t the only one who fondly recalls this happy marriage of anime and FPS. http://androidarts.com/Shogo/SHOGO.htm
A year later and I still can't get enough of Finishing Move's work on Crackdown 3's soundtrack. For me, it nails the feel of open-world thrills with its beats and crescendos.
Been nearly three years since Atomic Heart first surfaced with concept art and a trailer. While I’m worried about the game’s development cycle, I remain cautiously optimistic. The style alone’s the kind that makes me hope there’ll be an artbook.
Videos like this remind me that before it became... something else post-2008, COD had admirable experience goals. The intensity of #2, the pacing of MW, the thematic heft of WaW... Those remain favorites of mine thanks to their unique qualities.
Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm still lurking here and there in spite of my absence from QToid and the C-Blogs lately. Creative Writing MFA and leisurely reading have kept me plenty busy. Hanging in there. Always treasuring your company!
Watching yesterday’s TVA debate between the Canadian party leaders left me disappointed at the fact that Scheer/Trudeau/Singh were too soft on Blanchet. The Bloc’s brand of tribalistic nationalism has no place in individualistic North America.
