CARPENTER LIVES

/

I know, i know, were a little late to the Carpenter game here. But who dies anymore really!? If you happened to be a major player in the entertainment business there is a good chance your soul is indelibly immortalized within the very fabric of the internet. Since he passed away i've been learning all sorts of things about the Master of Horror. For some reason i thought the actor Jennifer Carpenter was his daughter, to my dismay this is not the case. Shes still hot though and her performance in Quarantine was exceptional. She can scream a block down though, that's certain!

Reading through his filmography its difficult not to assume that this man was a babysitter. I know he was for me when i was a brat. No he didn't come to my house and he certainly did not tuck me into bed, the opposite really. He kept me very awake at night. So it seems he was the worst babysitter of all time, but his films left me dreaming. Which is the greatest gift of all.

Also he was a badass music producer. He created many of the film scores of the projects he Directed and Wrote. This i had just discovered today and it deserves a listening to. Its a lost mix of scores he never released. I don't typically do this but "Thanks internet. Today you have been good to me."

Please enjoy

Just a few screenshots of what I've been playing lately...

Dragon Age: Origins. While the Fade plays out as nightmarishly as the dreamworld it's supposed to represent, old women seem strangely immune to fire-pains.

Darkest Dungeon. First run on the latest patch had my whole party die of heart attacks in one combat. Reynauld woulda' lived, too, if not for the damn corpsepile.

TREASURE HUNT! WHO'S WITH ME?

Of course X never, ever marks the spot and most hunting takes place in the library if my Indiand Jones quotes serve me well. But golly-geewiz!  This is an enticing adventure! I'm a sucker for a good mystery and this one is of the highest caliber. Believe it or not an interesting and accomplished old man hid a treasure chest in the Rocky Mountains somewhere and wrote an ambiguous poem which, if interpreted 'correctly' should lead the hunter to the cache. He posted it on his blog and printed it in his memoir. So its public domain and has many people around North America dedicating themselves to X. Just reading the banter between treasure enthusiasts and theories to where the stash may be is immensely entertaining. It's hard not to become engrossed in the mystery or at least be mildly tickled by the intrigue. Have a read its a great story at the very least.

Oh and one last thought. Why hasn't anyone made a treasure hunting game? I mean we've all found  'booty' of at the very least 'loot' in many games, but i have yet to see an actual dedicated treasure hunting game. Where you have to research, decipher maps and brave the wilderness. I guess Tomb Raider was close but i'm thinking something less about killing people. Just an idea.
