I've mentioned it a couple other places but I GOT THE SPECIAL EDITION DOCTOR WHO 50TH ANNIVERSARY STAMPS.

They come in a fancy package with all sorts of fun info.

I was so excited to see them. Unexpected presents rule.

So I played Rogue Legacy recently. It's pretty bloody great. It's a strange side-scrolling dungeon-crawling action-RPG that doesn't take your shit, and its hook is that every time you die, instead of loading a previous save or whatever, you pick an heir from a group of three randomly generated descendants to pick up where you left off. Random gender, random name, random class, and... 0-2 random traits. Ranging from stuff like peripheral arterial disease to Alzheimer's to attention deficit disorder to hypochondria to stereo blindness to irritable bowel syndrome to nostalgia. Kind of like in real life, you don't get to hand-craft your kids and have to just kind of take them as they are, with their quirks and their choice of profession (well, eventually you can get an upgrade that lets you use mad science to reroll your kids once per generation, but that's it). Sometimes they're fat or a little potty-mouthed or are terrified of chickens or are insane or are not the profession you were hoping for or are just really tall or have an eidetic memory or are exceptionally flexible or are gay or so on, and that's OK. (Some of the traits that sound negative, like peripheral arterial disease, are actually really useful, and this amuses the stuffing out of me for some reason.)

I went through 72 goddamn generations trying to get to the throne room of that castle, and on the 72nd, Lady Faye VI, the Legendary Lich Queen, beat the final boss when she was one hit away from not going back to her wife and kids. It was pretty tense. And then I started New Game Plus mode, at the end of which Lady Stephanie VII, the Legendary Spellsword, was the one to complete the family's quest, which I imagine beat the hell out of her other potential career choice, that of putting on a jester's costume and being Stephanie the Farter, flatulist to the king.

You know what I'll just shut up and give you a link with a trailer and screenshots and a description that does it better. http://store.steampowered.com/app/241600/
