F'eeze!

Not so long ago they put Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exodus on STEAM for three quid. Three quid!

If you don't know what Abe's Oddysee is then SHAME ON YOU! TWENTY LASHES! But seriously, I cannot stress how frustratingly-puzzling, and yet masochistically-enjoyable Abe's Oddysee is. It has fairly basic graphics, which you might expect from a 1997 Playstation title, but that is actually part of its charm.

There's no fancy interface or complicated structure to it. The game itself is very simple. You can walk, run, sneak, jump, crouch, roll, talk, pull levers, push buttons, and throw things. That's basically it. But that's the best part: it's simple.

I'm sure I've gone on about how much I like Abe's Oddysee before, so I won't repeat myself. I just wanted to mention that since the earliest Oddworld games were only three pounds on STEAM last month, I have been playing them almost to the exception of anything else.

I'm looking to get another job. There is a posting coming up in the not-too-far future which I really, really hope I can get. It won't be here - it'll be somewhere I can learn, progress, and advance; things I have been unable to do in my entire time here.
