Nice Guy Island by Phil Torcivia (2 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

TOUR OF NICE GUY ISLAND You single? How's that dating thing working out for you? Getting your recommended nightly allowance of love and affection? Or are you at the point where a bottle of Pinot, a good TV series, and a pet or two are all you need? Thirteen years of being single, after thirteen years of marriage, has left me in a peculiar place -- on Nice Guy Island. I'm not the aggressive bad boy who hooks women with his mysterious behavior. I'm polite, kind, and considerate, which translates into "fucking boring" for far too many potential mates. Hence, all my paddling away from the island lands me in strong currents, taking me back where I started. If you visit my island, what you'll find is an often-sedated, yet content population of one and two-thirds (male felines, Syd and Symon). The fridge is full of beer, tuna, hot sauce, and prepared meals. The freezer has ice packs for sore, old muscles. Nothing else to see here. Not exactly Barbados. On this island, even masturbation has become tedious, so I venture out nightly in search of stimulation. These pages document those travels. May you find humor in my message -- it keeps me afloat. Yours, stranded, Phil

The Forever Pact (The Bachelors of Paradise Valley Book 1) by Jaimie Casey (486 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

What's that saying? What can go wrong will go wrong? I think that should be the saying for my life. I'm Pippa Chase. I was about to become Pippa Snothead, but then my fiancé cheated on me, and I called off the wedding... I'm heartbroken, but at least I avoided a horrible last name. And now, I'm on my way to Paradise Valley, Montana, to lick my wounds and figure out what's next in my life. I'm going to live with my childhood best friend, TJ Wyatt, on a ranch he bought. Ever since we were young, we had a pact that if one of us needed the other, we would be there for each other. Granted, TJ and I haven't seen each other since we were thirteen, and we stopped our barrage of letters and emails when we were eighteen. However, we still send Christmas cards yearly, and in one of them, he did say, "If you're ever in this part of the country, drop in." I don't think he meant it as literally as I took it. So, that's how I ended up living on a remote ranch, in a log cabin with a man who didn't seem quite as happy to see me as I thought he would be. But maybe it didn't help that I showed up in my wedding dress, and everyone in town thought I was his new bride. Oops! This may not have been my best decision, but I'm hoping that Paradise Valley can help to mend my broken heart.

Tempest: Geometries of Play (Landmark Video Games) by Judd Ethan Ruggill (University of Michigan Press) (6 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Atari's 1981 arcade hit Tempest was a "tube shooter" built around glowing, vector-based geometric shapes. Among its many important contributions to both game and cultural history, Tempest was one of the first commercial titles to allow players to choose the game's initial play difficulty (a system Atari dubbed "SkillStep"), a feature that has since became standard for games of all types. Tempest was also one of the most aesthetically impactful games of the twentieth century, lending its crisp, vector aesthetic to many subsequent movies, television shows, and video games. In this book, Ruggill and McAllister enumerate and analyze Tempest's landmark qualities, exploring the game's aesthetics, development context, and connections to and impact on video game history and culture. By describing the game in technical, historical, and ludic detail, they unpack the game's latent and manifest audio-visual iconography and the ideological meanings this iconography evokes.

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine (Landmark Video Games) by Bernard Perron (University of Michigan Press) (130 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine, the second of the two inaugural studies in the Landmark Video Games series from series editors Mark J. P. Wolf and Bernard Perron, is both a close analysis of the first three Silent Hill games and a general look at the whole series. Silent Hill, with its first title released in 1999, is one of the most influential of the horror video game series. Perron situates the games within the survival horror genre, both by looking at the history of the genre and by comparing Silent Hill with such important forerunners as Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. Taking a transmedia approach and underlining the designer's cinematic and literary influences, he uses the narrative structure; the techniques of imagery, sound, and music employed; the game mechanics; and the fiction, artifact, and gameplay emotions elicited by the games to explore the specific fears survival horror games are designed to provoke and how the experience as a whole has made the Silent Hill series one of the major landmarks of video game history.
