Heads Up: Dog of Dracula 2

I liked the first one so much, that when I saw this I figured I'd share the news even before I had the chance to try it out!

Indie Alehouse - The Belgian Barnyard IPA

This one's nice... I know not everyone's into the bite that rye can give a beer but it can be quite nice if it's blended properly with the right hops so it is a bit more rounded. Also if the rye is added in moderation so that it's not all you taste - I've had one or two rye beers where that's all you get and it wasn't all that pleasant an experience. There are many ingredients that one can add to beer where it can be beneficial to add in smaller quantities (certain types of dark crystal, chocolate malt, buckwheat, molasses, brown sugar, biscuit malt, caramber malt,...) but if you add too much in relation to your base malt backbone it can totally wreak havoc with the resulting beer and overwhelm everything. Rye is like that I feel.

This particular beer, to my palette, is just a bit much with the rye, but is still very agreeable. The flavours of the malts including the rye are well balanced with the hops, the bitterness is pleasant and there is a noticable aroma of something like rye bread.

I prefer the Cameron's RPA to this as it feels just a smidge more refined, but would not turn the Belgian Barnyard down if it was on offer. Now back to my growler... I've got a porch to occupy and a beer to drink

Will You Ever Return - In Da Hood

FYI there are some very NSFW moments in this one, including a very excited Satan.

I haven't been able to complete the other Will You Ever Return games... mostly a lack of patience. When this was posted on the IndieGames.com site with a comment saying that this was his most accessible one yet and that it was a bit shorter I jumped on it. My first try was frustrating as I had trouble crossing the road and got stuck. Later on I found that you could only cross the road at crosswalks, and then after that the game opened itself up. It's sarcastic, trashy, a bit melancholy and also self aware in its dialog. I laughed out loud a number of times but then my humor goes down this road. Also you have to be able to handle the way things look. We're talking sloppy pixel sprites here, I think it suits the game very well but it's not everyone's cup of tea so... Anyways, I felt this one was worth playing so I'm posting it.

Just don't play it if you're easily offended.
