I spent this past weekend playing and replaying The Beginner’s Guide, an experimental narrative-based game released by The Stanley Parable’s Davey Wreden on Thursday. It’s described (vaguely, but accurately) on Steam as “the story of a person struggling to deal with something they do not understand.” I would describe it (also vaguely, also accurately) as sort of similar to the book House of Leaves, or the film Adaptation. If you find either of those things interesting, go and get this game immediately, because it’s brilliant. It costs under $10, and start-to-finish, it takes only an hour and a half to play all the way through. Truly.

Last month is was sorta kinda Fall. This month, though? Definitely Fall! A few lonely leaves are starting to float to the sidewalk and I wore my scissoring sweatshirt to the post office today. And when the air starts to deliver my favorite sort of crisp bite, that can only mean one thing: a Snakebite. And I head for this sort of drink because Autumn means hard cider, and (though I love cider) sometimes I find cider to be too sweet. That’s where a Snakebite is truly outstanding — the beer bitters up the cider as the cider sweetens up the beer, making the perfect combo.
Perhaps the most radical thing Amber Rose could have done to the already far-left Slutwalk movement was to brand it, to put her face and name all over it.
