Today I started playing Operation Raccoon City for the first time. I have always been a fan of the resident evil games, and have started to resent Capcom’s decision to move away from the zombies and survival horror in favour of a more action set-piece oriented shooter (replacing zombies...
[Off-Topic] Scroobius Pip: Distraction Pieces
posted by Justin Tolerable
It may come as a mild surprise to people who know me that I’m a hip hop fan. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it though. I love hearing people bend our language to their will, expressing complex thoughts and concepts with incredible dexterity and skill. There are some extremely talented, intelligent wordsmiths out there (I hate the word ‘wordsmith’, but it does seem to be the best description), but there is a lot of complete rubbish too. A great MC is a breath of fresh air. That being said, I’m not exactly plugged in to any music scene. Somehow I came across Scroobius Pip, whose website...
[Off-topic] Project Zomboid Stories: Part 2
posted by Justin Tolerable
The following continues on from Part 1, and is an account of a single play session on the excellent Project Zomboid – a cross between The Walking Dead and Ray Mears. All details, however small, happened in the game. Day 3. Morning. I wake up in intense pain at around 3am. My hand is healing, but far too slowly. I realise where I am and quickly scan the room to check for unwanted, undead guests. There are none (or I’d be dead I guess). There are no groaning sounds either, and no hammering at the door so it looks like I’m safe here as long as I can keep quiet. I’m running out of pills, but I chomp away on the...

For those people who haven’t heard of Project Zomboid, shame on you. It’s an indie PC game in development but with an alpha funding model that means you get to play it before it’s done. Think Minecraft, where you get to see it grow over time. Then, to get a feel for the game,...
[Off Topic] Why you should care about MS Flight.
posted by Justin Tolerable
Our off-topic section is a place for Inhuman League peeps to talk about whatever the hell they like. You are not obligated to listen. Some of you may have noticed, but I am a massive geek. That’s okay though, because being a geek is cool now – and anyone that argues is clearly a nerd, which is totally NOT cool. Although to be honest, I’m probably a nerd. I took a briefcase to school, was in the Model UN (representing Cuba), was a mock barrister and I played Games Workshop games in my lunch break. My school enforced a blazer policy, but that wasn’t enough for me. I got one with brass buttons. I may be...

I don’t profess to be an expert reviewer. In fact, I’m pretty terrible at making sure I cover all the bases. But I am opinionated and loud, which must count for something. As a result, I’m going to tell you what I think about Saints Row: The Third. If Niko Bellic could...
