I only recently became aware of this band, and especially this song, and have probably listened to it on repeat at least a hundred times, and this acoustic live version is amazing. The song was released a decade ago, but damn it's so refreshing from the crap that is mostly being released today, and as always, good

I remember the first Doom game back when I was a kid. I believe we had it on the Sega Genesis. I wasn't too into games back then so I pretty much loaded them up, fiddled around, and quickly turned them off after quickly becoming bored. I remember most games at the time being platform left to right runners, and racing games. Doom really stood out to me even back then with my lack of video game interest due to it being an immersive 3d first person game. Lately I've been looking for a ne

As it turns out, the contact form has been broken for a long while, without me knowing. Not sure, how, or whatever, it just hasn't been working, which I just now discovered. I know a few people have submitted applications to start writing here, but either I got the application too late, or they never received my reply email. The contact form has been changed to a newer one that seems to have a fail-safe in place, which it not only emails me, but it also saves it server side

I wrote an article last year about how I was inlove with Prison Architect, but also about how it wasn't worth playing at the moment due to the performance. Once you got above 400 or so Prisoners, the game would lag so bad where you'd probably get 5fps, which made the game pretty much unplayable. 400 Prisoners might sound like alot, but it's really not. You can reach 400 prisoners within minutes. Each time there is an update patch for the game I like to scan through the patch notes to

I'm going to be honest. I wasn't a very big fan of Prince. I liked a few of his songs, but meh. In a way I suppose I was destined to be anti Prince since I grew up as a huge Michael Jackson fan, and they were rivals, so it makes sense. but then again, it wasn't a big, or even a real issue in the MJ community. I guess you may be confused as to why I'd be turned off as a child by Prince's weirdness and not Michael's. Michael's weirdness was always childlike to me, while Prince always came across a

Many, including myself, have always been fascinated by the Titanic. So it's no wonder that this latest Titanic related video is making its rounds on the internet generating huge interest. The video simulates the sinking of the Titanic in real time - the entire 2 hours and 40 minutes - with "accuracy and attention to detail." https://youtu.be/rs9w5bgtJC8 The video was created by  developers of an upcoming game called "Titanic: Honor And Glory", which I

ARGGH! Okay, I've finally had it with the spam on Microsoft's Outlook.com service. Spam has periodically been a problem for years where it seemed like the spam filters would randomly break and spam would get through for days at a time, then all of a sudden it'd stop and would be fine for weeks. But not anymore! For the past few months to a year spam getting through has been constant! The most annoying thing is that it's obvious spam, that any common sensed filter should catch, but som

I remember first being suggested it years ago, and all the reviews said it was crap, which is the case for nearly all of the Early Access/Zombie Survival games out there, so I didn't pay it much mind and certainly didn't buy it. I'm forever looking fo

Google announced last month that they were killing off the Picasa App for windows, which has been my main photo app and organizer since about 2003 when it was paid software, long before google acquired it. This news was horrible for me, but not surprising, since the program hadn't been updated in a super long time, other than small UI tweaks and buttons to link to Google Services such as the Picasa Web Service, but it was still bad news. The reason I really liked Picasa was

I've been watching CNN for the past few weeks in total disgust. I used to think it was only Fox News who twisted, took things out of context, and even just made stuff up, but as it turns out, its the entire "media" in general. The only reason I even attempted to bother with CNN is because I subscribe to Sling TV, and CNN is their only real, well if you want to call it "real", Mainstream News Channel, and I wanted to watch the GOP Debates and such. I never knew how bullshit

Edit: Minecraft server closed down - also the host sucked, stay away from MinecraftServers.net - Shady people original article: mc.hyzteria.com or 104.218.101.37   I know many will say that since I am 32, I am way too old to be playing minecraft, but thats not true at all. For me Minecraft is really meditative. I like to simply load up the game dig some holes, build a shack, farm some plants, ride some horses, etc and think out my real life problems, and it be

The day before yesterday Donald Trump's campaign released a statement that they would be skipping CPAC and were instead going to be campaigning, and added a stop in my home town of Wichita, KS. At first I thought "cool?" I assumed the rally would be in the evening, at the time that I work, so I assumed I just wouldn't be able to attend, but then I learned it was early in the morning at 9am, which then I realized that I could actually goto this. I usually don't bother going to... well

Local news reported Nihole Mischke from Good Morning Spokane has recently interviewed 110-Year-Old Flossie Dickey on her birthday. Info: Flossie doesn't fight aging, and likes to nap. https://youtu.be/OAUn3A4QtaI

Where Have I been? As You may have noticed, New content on Grunch is sparse these days, and this is the reason: So for the past 15 years i've been suffering, or should i say living with weird health systems. I don't really want to dive into all that right now, but the main symptom I have is severe brain fog. What is brain fog? Well mine is lack of mental clairty, and over all the inability to think. It's like something in my head is preventing signals from connecting, I can't re

Lately I've been really missing and wanting to play DayZ Mod. It's been nearly a year since gave up on it and closed own my servers, and really haven't looked back til recently. DayZ Mod has always had bugs and issues, but the game was still very fun, and the positives used to outweigh the bugs, but the ultimate game killer for me was after the GameSpy network shut down, and no one was able to reliably find and connect to servers. The GameSpy network controlled the login and auth/server systems

The past few weeks have been such a headache. You my have noticed that I haven't posted anything in a while. This was mostly due to ASO (A Small Orange, My Host), messing up, and having issues. I used to strongly recommend this company, but I am now reconsidering this. A few weeks ago Grunch was down for nearly an entire week, as were nearly every other Cloud VPS customer of ASO.  ASO didn't provide much info as to why they were down, only that they were working on bringing the server
