xyzzysqrlToday I decided to try two things and liked one of them.
Radical Heights is... well, it's a "Plunkbat", or 100-player arena shooter. It was free and very eighties, so I decided to have a look and see if I liked this genre. What I do like about it: There's a large open map with lots of buildings you're allowed to explore, and you can take items from these buildings.
What I don't like, unfortunately, is the 100 player arena shooter. I'm not actually much GOOD at the tricks people use to play shooters. I don't understand cover, I don't use dodgejumps to fly around the map, and I kind of have awful aim. The highest position I made it to was around the 25 spot, because I figured out that if you hang out in rocky zones away from everything, nobody comes looking for you.
That's rather dull though. I'd rather be playing Quake.
I also opened the chocolate hummus and braved two slices of plain bread spread with the stuff. It's strongly chocolate, a little bitter, very little underlying chickpea or spice taste. Texturewise it's like a less-creamy cake frosting, almost a mousse. I feel like this would go well with fruits or pretzels.
Either way my curiosity is satisfied!

I like the Smash TV-esque game show elements. Being able to bank found money to buy guns in future rounds is nice - but it's also nice that the placement of gun vending machines and ATMs is such that you can't be guaranteed to be able to do so. Otherwise people who've been playing a while would be unstoppable.
