Quick Shots For 11/24/2017
This past week I remembered that the group Styx had a song on their Grand Illusions album called "Castle Walls". I remember listening to that song over and over again when I was a teenager, mainly because it has an instrumental bridge that sounded a lot like the theme from the movie Halloween. I promptly pulled up the song on Spotify. Terrence Koch and Spotify: Reliving childhood memories.
In the early 2000’s I was spending a lot of time in St. Augustine, Florida due to my job. It was that experience that inspired me to program Augustine, the text adventure game I wrote about elsewhere on Half Air. The game Augustine had many similarities with the Highlander movies, which led to me listening a lot to its soundtrack, an album by Queen called Some Kind of Magic. I pulled up that playlist on Spotify this week, as well. Terrence Koch and Spotify: Reliving one of life’s significant moments.
While taking my walks down memory lane with Spotify, I found out that there is a lullaby version of U2’s "Bad" . . . No! Not at all! That should definitely not be a thing!
To help circulation in my legs, my vascular surgeon recommends that I wear compression socks. The socks I wear go up to my knees and are best put on by turning them inside out and rolling/pulling them up the leg. One morning this week I thought to myself, “I imagine this is similar to putting on hose or leggings.” I began to sing, “Man, I feel like a woman.” My wife turned to me and told me I was a nut.
Steam’s Fall Sale is currently going on. As part of the promotion, Steam users can vote for their favorite games in a variety of categories. One category is the “Write-In” category, where the voter picks a game and makes up the name of the category. Inspired by my recent Bad Game Wednesday post I nominated Bibou for the “Discount Mario Minus The Fun Parts” Award.
