* Hypnospace Outlaw (via GOG)

   It's... fine. It plays a bit too heavily on the nostalgia
   some people have for that era, and is a bit too dependent
   on Easter eggs and secrets. The gameplay itself is sort of
   bland.

HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW IS SUCH A GOOD GAME THO, THE INTERCONNECTED STORIES OF
EACH OF THE CHARACTERS IS FASCINATING AND THE ENTIRE THING IS SO
CHARMING

* it's actually, both, or neither, depending. Both are wonderfully
ambiguous words and can mean either "twice per week/month" or "once
every second week/month". A better usage would be semi-weekly or just
"every other week", but if we wanted clarity in our language we
wouldn't be speaking English. ;-P

Good ol' english.
