The Steam Winter Sale is live.  Just picked up Season 2 of The Last Door.  Probably going to break down and get the Witcher III.

Oh yeah, what I've actually been reading.

I decided to read some old fashioned ghost stories for October, so I went through The Haunted Looking Glass a collection of 19th century ghost stories selected by Edward Gorey.  Aside from Lovecraft and Poe, I've never read much in the horror genre so it was kind of interesting checking out some more conventional ghost stories.  Though I did get rather tired of the device of having these stories told second or third hand, too many of these stories were bookended with accounts of the author meeting someone who then told them about some third person's encounter with a ghost.

I hope there's some M.R. James in there. Because M.R. James is the best.

I'm returning to my Civil War horror research, and currently going through Vicksburg: 47 Days of Siege by A.A. Hoehling. And I'm learning that for the most part, sieges are pretty boring day-by-day. "Sunday: everybody starved a little bit, some people got blown up. Monday: everybody starved a little bit, some people got blown up. Tuesday: everybody starved a little bit, some people got (what a twist!) shot."

Ah well, nothing like a little Ambrose Bierce and Carcosa to spice it up!
Don't know if this book is worth it (it does have Laird Barron though), but her is a collection of civil war ghost stories.

Just picked up The Ballad of Black Tom.  Pretty good so far.

I just noticed this on today's update as a potential reward
"“Lover in the Ice”: Caleb Stokes’ scenario converted to Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game "

Awesome news.  I hope to see this become a reality.

I've been looking for a book about 01% outlaw motorcycle clubs.  Thought it might make some good rpg fodder.  However, I can't really find as much information as I would like.  Seems like all Amazon has is a few self-published books.

Just started of Tell Tale's lastest installment of Tales From The Boarderland.
Some poeple were kinda meh about this, but I dig it.  It certainly isn't on par with a Wolf Among Us, but not much is.

Seems like a interesting little space horror RPG.  The buy-in seems rather cheap at $10 but looks cool.  It is designed to use with video chat programs like Google Hangouts.

I don't have the nerve to try the Witcher.  I'm afraid my marriage and career might take a backseat.

What is not to love about German versions of Beatle's songs?

Speaking of Delta Green, my wallet has a sense of dread in regards to the kickstarter.

I really want to read this.  The world needs more transhuman literature.

Good idea man.  It might be a bit easier if you add a field for dates (i.e. 8/22/15).
