The Gods Return: "Primal Rage II" now available for download


Younger gamers may not remember this, but there was once a game where the whole point was to messily dismember giant animal deities, as another giant animal diety, for dominance of a post-apocalyptic, neo-Stone Age Earth. You could rip the throats out of giant apes as a fire-breathing T-Rex, spit acid in the eyes of said T-Rex as a giant, psychic snake monster, or disembowel the giant snake monster as a raptor the size of the Sears Tower. This was a game that, of course, featured the visceral, dumb fun of cartoonish violence like only the 90’s could deliver.

Its name was Primal Rage, and it was f***ing awesome.

Primal Rage is a favorite among old-style arcade game connoisseurs and 90’s nostalgics alike. There was a sequel planned, but it was cancelled and never released.

That is, it was never released in arcades. It HAS been released recently, for download, at this website .

Broken just days ago, the sequel, creatively named Primal Rage II, can be played via PC emulators, provided you have a computer that can run it. Hardware and software specifications can be found on the home page of the above website. Some bugginess and troubleshooting may be required, but it’s a small price to pay for world domination.

"Solo: A Star Wars Story," AKA what pisses me off about my fellow nerds

***Minor spoilers for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" herein*** On rare occasions, I manage to avoid trailers before seeing a movie like "Solo: A Star Wars Story." I go in a total blank slate, and I get to enjoy or dislike the movie pure of externally-inherited bias. That said, apparently it was a particularly good thing I did so with this movie. A couple  of articles, as well as this video , have been circulating the web. The consensus seems to be that a good number of people wanted the movie to fail because they don't like that it was a movie about Han Solo that didn't include Harrison Ford as the lead role. Or, they didn't like that the project was greenlit at all. Or...name any of the millions of reasons people could have for hating a movie they haven't seen. I genuinely believe a lot of the Web-based hysteria comes not from people who saw the movie, but fans of certain reviewers. Apparently film critic Angry Joe, the Forbes writer Dani...

Update 7/19/2018

*Sigh* ...the world's pretty fucked up right now, huh? Since both of my jobs involve exhaustive research and writing, I feel like writing has been less of an outlet for me lately...it's felt more like a chore. Or at least, this blog has. I want to write consistently; as an independent professional, that's important. Even if I write nothing but goofy shit like this, with goofy shit like the picture above as my accompanying visual media, it's important that I don't stop. The most important thing for a writer to do is write...wait for it... consistently . Lately I've been wondering if I should try writing a book. The same amount of writing this blog takes, I've been thinking about applying that same level of effort to outlining, writing, and editing a novel. Maybe a thousand or so words a week. I'm not exactly in a rush - if I went through with it, it would be for me, so I can choose my own deadline. I've always wanted to write a novel. Th...

My new project

WARNING: 4TH LEVEL NERD SHIT AHEAD. Short post this week; it's been a difficult few days and I don't really feel like making a longer post. I'm back into Warhammer 40K in a big way...painting, building models, and now, beginning new projects centered around it. SPEAKING OF. I play a faction called the Astra Militarum. It used to be called the Imperial Guard, but Games Workshop, the company that makes this incredibly time-and-money-consuming hobby realized they can't copyright the phrase "Imperial Guard," so they renamed it something super gothic cyberpunk. The general strategy for the AM is this: bring bigger guns and more of them than your enemy, and shoot everything in your army at them at the same time before they get in range to start messing you up. Unlike some factions in the game, the AM are not supersoldiers or indestructible undead robots or ancient aliens with advanced technology; they are normal dudes with normal weapons taking on impo...
