What’s that one adventure game you can just boot up and have a great chill time with? Mine would probably be Day of the Tentacle. It’s such a wonderful, colorful world to inhabit, and all the characters are lively and oozing with personality (no Sludge-o-Matic pun intended). I could spend hours just walking around talking to characters and not even think about solving any puzzles.

What’s the one game you’d boot up to just relax with?

    I spent a lot of time in my childhood with no money for games. I had a computer that could play older games, which is how I played Deus Ex around 2010. But when I wasn’t playing Half-Life, or emulating ps1 or n64 games, I played those point-and-click escape-the-room puzzle flash games. My favorites are the ones by Neutral. I replay them all every year at Christmas, now with Flashpoint. 10/10, would recommend. I also like the Homestar Runner flash adventure games. Finally, those crappy find the hidden object games with names like Amazing Tales 2: the Secrets of Stony Brook, or Ghost Story 8: This One’s the Same as the Previous 7. Whenever I’ve had a bad day, I make myself a drink and bust one of those out, put on a podcast, and enjoy the awful story, art, and voice acting while I solve really simple puzzles.
