Places Worth Visiting

My Steam Curator Page

Jacquouille: A dude in his early thirties working with heavy machinery, installing triple-phase generators, annoying all people around with sci-fi techno-bable, and all his deeds are always accompanied by very loud thrash metal. Like Morbid Saint. Also very old gamer that always annoys people with tales of 80's and 90's gaming glory. His all time favourite games are: Ultima Underworld 1 & 2; Mafia 1; Silent Hill 1, 2, 3, 4; Ultima 6 & Martian Dreams; Manhunt 1, 2; Planescape Torment; The Bard's Tale 1, 2, 3; Bloodnet; Darklands; Inquisitor; Serpent in the Staglands, Metal Gear series and of course Viva Pinata.
