Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

Norsemen was a great series but I understand why people didn’t get into it or even tried it. The humor is very special and maybe takes a little time to settle. It all feels like the cast didn’t know what’s going on and was making it up on the go, which is part of the fun.

Another one: Minesweeper. I feel like most people never understood how this game even works and just clicked randomly until something exploded. It’s actually purely logical! In the classic Windows version there is unfortunately always a high chance to encounter fields that can’t be solved by logic. This is what Mineswifter solves. If you want something more complex, there is the Hexcells series. Get the last one, Infinite, as it has a puzzle generator integrated.

    What's the logic that can guarantee your first move won't be a mine?

    Edit to add: Norsemen was great, loved it.

    I had a friend that was amazing at minesweeper. Watching him play the hardest levels and clearing them in under 30 seconds was incredible.

    Tetris beats minesweeper every day. People pack their vacation cars/suvs and refer to tetris-ing them. No one every says, "I minesweepered that."
