Beauregard knew there was no honor among thieves. Boys in the game only respected you in direct proportion to how much they needed you divided by how much they feared you. There was no doubt they needed his skill. My goodness, what a powerhouse of a character! Such an ultimate badass that I really connected with since again, it just felt so real how someone who grew up the way he did dealt with a hard life. Not everything is peachy keen as they say and especially when it comes to what he went through in this novel. Besides him, all the characters were great and memorable.

An incredible journey into the world of rubbish, full of fascinating characters and mind-bending facts’ Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland Wasteland was one of the first games featuring a persistent world, where changes to the game's open world were stored and kept.

Since hard drives were still rare in home computers in 1988, this meant the original game disk had to be copied first. [10] V. Froude, Elizabeth Vol. I, ch. iv, letter of De Quadra to Philip of Spain: “In the afternoon we were in a barge, watching the games on the river.

Eliot: the man is ungodly brilliant and I love almost everything he's written. Does this mean I understand a single goddamn word of it? Of course not. But (and this is the great part) that doesn't matter. Eliot has been quoted as saying he's perfectly aware that no one has any idea what his poems are about, and he's perfectly cool with that. Understanding Eliot's poems is not the point; the point is to recognize that he writes with incredible skill and to just lose yourself in the words. My Lit book, How to Read a Poem, said it best:
