Podcast #493: 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die

There are over a hundred million books in existence. And the average person only has 8 decades in which to read them. So which books should you choose to read over others before you croak? It’s a question that’s launched scores of lists and many an argument, and my guest today has fired his own missive in the debate. His name is James Mustich, he’s been in the book business for over 30 years as a book seller, reviewer, and editor, and he’s created the ultimate book list in his book 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die. Today on the show, James explains his guiding philosophy on the books he decided to include in his list, and how he designed the book to have the feel of browsing through an ideal bookshop. James then makes the case for why book lists are helpful, but should never be seen as strictly prescriptive. We then dig into the surprising genres of books that James includes in his list, including science fiction, detective novels, and children’s books, and one or two of his very top recommendations in each category. At the end of our conversation, James makes a list just for the AoM audience of books every man should read before he dies. Show Highlights * Jim’s guiding ethos as he selected these books * The ire that book lists inspire in others * Why are book lists helpful? When do they become burdensome? * What sets Jim’s list apart from other book lists * Why sci-fi often gets shorted when it comes to book lists * Why crime fiction is also often seen as low brow * Jim’s inclusion of “pleasure” reads * The importance of variety in your reading * What separates a bad memoir from a good memoir? * Jim’s favorite type of book * The benefits of books over social media or other online conversations * A short list of books Jim thinks every man should read before he dies Resources/People/Articles Mentioned in Podcast * 1,000 Places to See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz * 100 Books Every Man Should Read * The Leader’s Bookshelf * AoM’s Libraries of Famous Men series * Books So Good I’ve Read Them 2X (or More)! * Sci-Fi Must-Reads: * The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester * The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov * Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card * Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe series * The Life and Times of Dashiell Hammett * Make Way for Ducklings * The Liar’s Club by Mary Karr * How to Read More Books * Why You Need a Reading Plan * Within the Context of No Context by George Trow Jim’s List of Books Every Man Should Read * Meditations by Marcus Aurelius * The Mouse and His Child by Russell Hoban * Endurance by Alfred Lansing * Independent Spirit by Hubert Butler * The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S.

beltsquid replied to Saints Row:

It’s heavily referential but do it anyway because it’s really fun and 4 specifically parodies Mass Effect.

rinnannon replied to Saints Row IV and Agents of Mayhem on sale:

SRIV is a very fun gameplay-wise game with aliens, superhero powers and almost every single companion is open for romance. even one who is, essentially, a robot alien eye. you can’t be with Keith David tho! but that’s you da– I mean, that’s Anderson from Mass Effect, tons of people would NOT do that. but there are many callbacks to previous games, and a lot of openly suggestive themes that the series is famous for

you’d still love the game as a fun, musical and crazy adventure! and all consoles as well as PC have good key/controller bindings, which also adds a ton of fun. you also customize your Boss! Gat Out of Hell is a standalone to the series, and you can play only as Johnny Gat or Kinzie Kensington, and has EVEN MORE callbacks. also gunchair.

and personally I was disappointed with Agents of Mayhem? but I can see how some people might like it. it just felt much clunkier than Saints Row franchise, and combat is 90% of game in comparison to SR, which ain’t my cuppa at all. but it might be just me who sees all the faults after playing Saints Row games and compares AoM to the franchise on daily basis, I suppose…

thank you for the better deets than I was getting on Wiki! I yoloed both and look forward to eventually (my backlog is long and Horizon is good and I am tired) making a fly Boss to smooch some girls

in: Featured, Heading Out On Your Own, Money & Career, Networking, Professional Skills

Brett & Kate McKay • August 9, 2012 • Last updated: September 23, 2020

Managing Your Online Reputation

This article series is now available as a professionally formatted, distraction free paperback or ebook to read offline at your leisure.

All the basic life skills we’ve covered so far in this series have been things that your dad, and even your granddad, had to learn when he left home for the first time too.

But today’s young man faces a new challenge that Pops never encountered: managing his online reputation.

Despite the nascent nature of this skill, I truly believe it’s one of the most important things we’ll talk about in this series. As the line between the offline and online world gets increasingly blurry, your online reputation is your reputation. Before you meet your freshman roommate, before you pick up a date, before you shake the hand of a potential employer…you better believe they’ve already Googled you, already formed a first, first impression about you, your interests, and what kind of person you are. Thus, if you’re not careful and conscious about the content you create online, you can end up shooting yourself in the foot in all areas of your life.

Heading Out on Your Own…And Into a Fishbowl World

Leaving for college or another kind of adventure after high school has long been an exciting and heady time. It’s an age where you’re experimenting with ideas and values, testing new freedoms, meeting new people, and often changing your mind about who you are and what you want out of life. One week you feel one way, and the next you feel another. During this process you often make mistakes, and do bone-headed things that twenty years later will still make you wonder, “What was I thinking?”

Just a decade ago, only you, and a few of your closest friends, would have held the memory of those crazy and sometimes cringe-worthy moments. The only record of them could be found by digging up a private photo album or journal.

Today…it’s a whole new ball game.

Now, everything you do and say can potentially become part of your permanent and public record. Everybody’s got a smartphone and can snap a picture of you anywhere, anytime and post it online. And things that go up online about you and from you can remain there forever. Mistakes you made when you were just 19 can haunt you for the rest of your life. Being a young man used to mean you could entirely reinvent yourself by moving to a new place and making new friends, but now your online reputation will follow you wherever you go.

I don’t mean to sound all doom and gloom about it. But that’s the sobering reality of living in the Internet Age, and it doesn’t help to bury one’s head in the sand and try to whatever that reality away. It absolutely doesn’t mean that college can’t still be the fun, spontaneous experience it’s always been; it just means you need to take a conscious, proactive approach to taking responsibility for what parts of that experience end up online and in the public eye.

Why Is Proactively Managing Your Online Reputation So Important?

One of the greatest things about the internet is that it is a giant pot that people can both add to and take from. This puts the most enormous wealth of knowledge in human history right at our fingertips and provides an endless amount of inspiration that can be added onto and “remixed.”

The downside of the big internet pot, is that the moment you put something into the pot, you pretty much lose all control over it. Many viral embarrassments have started out as something someone just wanted to share with a few good friends. But those friends shared it with their friends, who shared it with their friends…on and on until it ended up on Tosh.O.

There are essentially no guaranteed take backs when it comes to what you put online. You can erase your Facebook status, blog post, comment, tweet, or video, but someone else may very well have already shared it, copied it, taken a screenshot of it, or downloaded the video and reposted it somewhere else. How websites looked on a certain date in time are captured and archived on sites like the WayBack Machine (take a look at AoM circa 2008!). Emails that you thought you deleted forever can still sometimes be retrieved, and just because you deleted an email doesn’t mean the person you sent it to didn’t archive it. If someone else wants to post something of yours, you may not be able to get them to take it down without suing.

All of which is to say, pretty every piece of digital content you create can potentially exist forever. And this digital record can be accessed by any of the 250 million internet users in the US, not to mention the 2 billion online all over the world.

What’s on that record can have a big impact on both your personal and professional life.

Your college’s admissions office may have Googled you when they looked over your application. As soon as your freshman roommate knew you’d be bunking with him, he Googled you. When you network with someone at a party and tell them about your great idea, they’ll Google you later. And 81% of singles say they Google or check the Facebook page of someone before meeting him or her for a date.

Even though only 7% of Americans think their online reputation influences hiring decisions, in reality, 75% of US companies have made an online screening a formal part of the hiring process, 85% of recruiters and HR professionals say that having a positive online reputation influences their hiring decisions, and 70% of recruiters say they have rejected candidates based on something they found about them online. And since those numbers come from a study done in 2009, they’re undoubtedly even higher now.

What kinds of online discoveries cause recruiters and HR personnel to push your resume to the trash? This chart shows the most common red flags employers look for:

As you can see, it’s not just content you create that employers are checking out, it’s stuff your friends and colleagues post too. Be careful who you associate with.

Some young folks may be tempted to respond by saying, “Well, if a company is going to reject me for posting pictures of my drunken revelry, I wouldn’t want to work for them anyway.” But that’s pretty short-sighted. I’d venture to say that these companies aren’t rejecting candidates so much because they like to drink or swear, but rather that their willingness to show off these behaviors publicly shows a lack of judgment and wisdom. Not at all an unreasonable assumption.

The information that new friends and potential employers can find about you online may not even be true. Some people will try to verify it, some will not. And what they see will often come without any context – maybe you were being funny, maybe it’s an inside joke, but they won’t know that, they’ll simply make immediate judgments about what they find. This is why when it comes to managing your online reputation, you must be both proactive and defensive — deleting anything inappropriate, wisely choosing the digital content you create, and purposefully creating positive content about yourself.

Self-Reflect Before You Self-Reveal

“Young people in particular often self-reveal before they self-reflect. There is no eraser button today for youthful indiscretion.” –James Steyer

There are some practical ways to manage your online reputation, and we’ll get to them in a moment. But the first step in taking responsibility for your online presence is creating a mindset for how you want to approach your online life.

Matt Ivester, the author of lol..OMG! (despite the silly-sounding title, this is actually a great book, with solid advice from the guy who learned about online reputation management firsthand from his misadventures in founding Juicycampus.com), suggests three questions to ask yourself before you put something online:

1. Why are you doing this?

Why? This is the most important question of all, and one that unfortunately usually goes unasked and uncontemplated.

Today’s colleges are welcoming the first “digital natives:” they’ve never known a time when the internet wasn’t a huge part of their lives. And even for those who are old enough to have used encyclopedias for elementary-school research papers, interacting and participating online has become so ubiquitous that it’s hard to imagine that life was ever any other way. This is just how things are, and we do what everyone else is doing, so much so that we hardly ever ask why we are doing those things. Once we do start asking why, the answers are surprisingly hard to come up with and articulate.

Why do you update your status or share a link on Facebook? Do you want to share news? Are you bored? Do you want to be thought clever? Are you trying to make someone else jealous? Do you want to see if people feel the same way as you? Why?

Why do you care how many likes or upvotes something you submit on Facebook or Reddit gets? Is it confirmation that you shared something with value? Why?

Why do you leave comments on blog posts? Do you want the author of the blog to know that you appreciated the article? Do you think you have the insight to add that might help another reader? Do you want the author to know how and why they are wrong? Why? What do you hope to accomplish? Do you think it will change their mind? Is it because the psychological angst you feel when you think someone is wrong needs to be discharged? Why?

Why do you participate in online forums? Does it provide a feeling of camaraderie? Do you like to hear others’ opinions? Why do you respond when you think those opinions are wrong? Why do you care what a stranger thinks about you? Why?

When you ponder the why behind creating any kind of online content, from a status update to a YouTube video, you may come up with a reason that you find satisfactory and worthwhile. Or you may find that your motivation is hard to make sense of and decide it’s not worth your time. Either way, by asking why, you’ll become what Ivester calls “a conscious creator of content.”

2. Is now the right time?

The internet creates a perfect storm for impulse control: at the same time that it actively solicits impulsive communication and make satisfying those impulses incredibly easy, it makes taking back the results of those impulses incredibly difficult; it’s easy to hit “send” or “submit,” and quite hard to un-send and un-submit something.

Facebook asks, “What’s on your mind?” while Twitter wants to know “What’s happening?” They owe their existence to people’s desire to share their thoughts, videos, and photographs – and they need to be constantly fed to survive and grow and make money. And blogs (including ours) want to engage readers and build community and so ask for comments. The internet is set up to encourage you to share whatever thought crosses your mind, and taking that thought from your cranium to the walls and screens of the digital world only takes a few clicks.

But just because you can share your thoughts on impulse doesn’t mean you should. Not only because you probably haven’t thought through the why behind wanting to share first, but because strong impulses are usually born from strong emotions: anger, depression, and grief, or from chemically-altered states (like being drunk). When you spout off and share personal feelings while emotional or trashed, you will likely come to regret it once those strong emotions fade or you sober up.

The best thing to do when you feel you’re dealing with an impulse to put something online that you might regret later, is just to sit on it. The internet creates a false sense of immediacy, giving you an overwhelming feeling that you have to respond now. But what you’ll find is that something that felt super urgent and mega important to say in the moment, will seem totally pointless when you wake up the next morning.

One method I use to thwart impulsive responses is to imagine myself living before the internet. If I feel a burning urge to tell the author of an article what a chucklehead he is, I think of reading a magazine in the 80s, and how I would have had no outlet to express my opinion about it besides writing up a letter to the editor or talking to my wife or close friends about it. Or if something annoys me and I want to rant about it on Facebook, I think of a time before Facebook when I would have had no choice but to keep my rant to myself. It makes me realize that just as sharing whatever crosses your mind wasn’t necessary then, it’s not necessary now. The fine-folks of the 80s, while they made some questionable fashion-choices, weren’t any less happy than we are now that we’re able to shout what we’re feeling and thinking to everyone 24/7.

3. How controversial do you want to be?

The younger generation (including those my age) was raised with a lot of rhetoric about how special and unique they are, how important it is to be “authentic,” and that it’s good to be “transparent.” This can lead folks to throw caution to wind about what they share online because, “I’m just trying to be me! And if other people don’t like it, they can bite me!”

But just because you can now display your opinions and personality to a greater number of people than ever before, doesn’t mean you should, or that the more you share, the more authentic you are. Going back to my suggestion of thinking about life before the internet, people used to only be able to share their quirks with a close circle of family and friends, and they weren’t any less themselves than we are (actually they were probably more themselves since they didn’t get instant feedback on all of their quirks).

Examining the meaning of authenticity isn’t within the purview of this post (although it will be a future series), but suffice it to say for now that the ideal for many of the great men of the past was not transparency, but sprezzatura – only revealing themselves to others slowly as a relationship of trust developed. You may want to “be yourself” by trumpeting your religious, social, and political beliefs online every chance you get, but if those meme’s you keep flooding Facebook with is the only thing new acquaintances know about you, they may decide they don’t want to get to know you before they even do — they’ll miss the complexity of your character that would have shown through over time…that you’re both a liberal and a rabid gun owner, or a fervent Christian and a scientist, or a zealous vegetarian and a Marine.

The three questions above can go a long way to helping you judiciously choose what and what not to post online. A final question to consider is what the general public might think of the content if for some reason what you post went viral or you were suddenly thrust into national prominence. Would it embarrass your family? What impression would a stranger have of it? You and your friends might think it’s funny, but would others find it offensive? You never know who’s going to see your post, what’s going to be dug up on you later, and who might be looking at your phone.

How to Manage Your Online Reputation

Managing your online reputation involves both deleting content you don’t want out there and creating content you do. Follow the steps below that Ivester and others have suggested, and complete each step right after you read it. This is the kind of thing that’s easy to put off indefinitely. Do it now.

1. Google yourself.

Before you can know what actions to take to manage your online reputation, you need to know what’s already out there. To do this, first deactivate Google’s customized search – when you typically do a Google search, the results Google brings up are based on things like your location, what you’ve clicked on before, and things your friends like. But you want to see what would come up if someone else searched for you. Here’s how to take off the customized search feature.

If you have a common name like “Rob Smith,” then search for your name with a qualifier like, “Rob Smith St. Louis,” or “Rob Smith Tulane University.”

After you look at Google’s results for you, check out other search engines like Bing and Yahoo as well.

When you look at the results that come up for your name, try to imagine what conclusions someone might reach about you if they had no other context for that content, and knew nothing else about you.

2. Try to remove content that you don’t want showing up in search results anymore.

After you do a search for yourself, it’s time to try to delete things that showed up that you’d rather not have out there anymore. Maybe you signed up for an internet forum with your real name. Maybe you left a comment on a blog post under your real name. Maybe you wrote a review or a blog post that you now feel is too controversial. Some of these things you can delete yourself.

If you can’t delete something yourself, like a blog post comment on another person’s blog, then try to contact the owner of the site to see if they will remove it for you. They may or may not, but the nicer you are about it, the greater the chance of them helping you, so make your request as civil and appreciative as possible.

If you can’t find the contact information for the site owner, try the site WHOis. Website registrars are required to publish the contact information for the person who registered the domain. Oftentimes when you look up a site on WHOis, you’ll find that the owner has decided to keep their direct contact information private and have instead given a proxy email address. Either way, your email will end up in the same place.

Understand that even if you’re successful at removing the offending content from a site, it may take a few days or even weeks before it’s reflected in search engine results. Also, understand that the offending item really hasn’t “gone away.” There’s a chance that it has been archived on the WayBack Machine. Remember, what’s put on the internet stays on the internet forever.

Moving forward, be extremely judicious when using your real name online.

3. Proactively create a positive first impression online.

Your best bet in managing your online reputation is proactively creating positive content about yourself that pushes the bad stuff off of the first few pages of search engines. Set up accounts with large social networking sites that typically rank high on Google and other search engines. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google+ profiles are often on the first page when you look up someone’s name. Set up accounts with them and post stuff that you’d be proud to have your name associated with.

The best thing you can do to ensure positive stuff associated with your name is at the top of search results is to start a blog and update it regularly. If you can, try to secure a domain name with your given name for your blog. What should you write about on your blog? You can publish your resume (redacting phone numbers and addresses, of course), write posts sharing insights in an expertise you might have, or use it to create a portfolio of your work if you’re a freelancer. Whatever it is, make sure it’s stuff you want associated with your name.

Cross-link your blog and all your social networking profiles together: put your link to Facebook and Twitter on your blog, a link to your LinkedIn profile and blog on your Facebook account, and so on.

Even if you don’t plan on using Twitter or Google+ or even putting anything on your blog, it doesn’t hurt to have your name registered with those accounts and domain. You don’t want some Joe Schmo mucking up your good name with a bunch of crazy online antics.

4. Adjust privacy settings on Facebook and clean up your Facebook Profile.

To ensure that potential employers or love interests only see the best of you when they look you up on Facebook, make the following adjustments:

First, take a look at how your profile page looks to the public. If you see any information visible that you don’t want strangers to see, make a note of it.

To change what’s visible on your profile page, click “About.”

Click “Edit” on the next page. On each segment select “Friends” if you don’t want anybody who’s not your FB friend to see a particular piece of information. For networking reasons, I’ve left my job and school information visible to the public.

Visit the Facebook Privacy Settings page and adjust all your privacy settings so only your friends can see photos and status updates you make.

On the privacy settings page, update what your friends can share about you under “Timeline and Tagging.” Enable the ability to review and approve posts or photos that you are tagged in before they’re published on your Timeline. You can also disable Facebook’s tag suggestion when your friends upload photos that look like you. You don’t want your name tagged in an unflattering photo or post.

While you’re on the privacy settings page, limit who can see posts from the past. Even if you used to post everything publicly, this will retroactively make those posts private.

Review the photos that you’re tagged in and untag yourself from any unflattering photos. While you’re at it, you might ask your friend to remove the photo if it’s something you don’t want out there. Even if you’re not tagged in the pic, it could come back to haunt you.

Leave groups and unlike pages that may be seen as controversial…or just dumb. At least set the privacy settings on them so only your FB friends can see the pages you like. how.

5. Be more conscious of what you share and whom you share it with on Facebook.

Ask the three questions we covered above before posting something on Facebook. That will save you a lot of grief.

Also, take into account if what you’re about to share is appropriate and relevant to ALL your Facebook friends. You don’t need to share your weekend plans with your old boss and former professors. In real life, you adjust what you talk about depending on your company — do the same on Facebook. Create lists on Facebook for close family/friends, acquaintances, professional colleagues, people that are the same religion as you, people you enjoy talking politics with, etc. Before posting something, ask yourself if this is something all your friends would be interested in or is better for a specific list of your friends. And even if you’re only posting for a list of close friends, still keep in mind what others would think if that status or photo got shared with people outside the list. It could happen.

6. Create strong passwords for your accounts.

If the recent story of tech writer Mat Honan’s online life being completely demolished by hackers doesn’t motivate you to strengthen your online security, then I don’t know what will. Create strong passwords for all your accounts and change them every six months. A strong password is at least 8 characters long and includes at least one special character (&!#) and both upper and lower case letters. Your passwords shouldn’t be the same for all your accounts. To manage all your passwords, use an app like LastPass.

To reduce the chance of getting hacked, enable two step authentication. Here’s how to do it on Google (if you use Gmail) and Facebook.

7. Use passwords on your laptop and mobile devices.

An unattended laptop or mobile device provides a devilish opportunity for friends or random strangers to mess with your online life. I know several people who had to do a lot of scrambling to recover from an offensive tweet sent from an unattended iPhone by a mischievous friend. Avoid that. Enable password protection on all your mobile devices.

8. Set up a Google Alert for your name.

Keep your finger on the pulse of what’s said about you on the web by setting up a Google Alert for yor name. Just enter your name as a search query and Google Alert will email you a digest once a week (or daily if you want) of all the new content that’s hit the web with your name in it.

Conclusion

The internet is an amazing educational, social, and networking tool — you just need to use it wisely. Using it too little can be just as damaging to your personal and professional life as using it too much. Be a “conscious content creator” and use sound wisdom and judgement in deciding where you personally want to draw the line between your public and private life.

Any other tips on managing your online reputation? Share them with us in the comments (only after asking yourself why you’re commenting and making sure it’s the right time, of course)!

I would like an Agents of Mayhem matchup please, I am a bisexual male 5'10" I love playing video games and being adventurous while dealing with depression. I've had friends come and go through out my life few sticking with me when I'm going through rough patches most leaving when I need them the most. So because of this I sink inside my self come up with fantastic worlds where my life is just the way I want it without my parents who've said that all gays and bisexuals should go to hell

i would match you up with fortune!

fortune definitely has an adventurous side and would love to take you on plenty of adventures around the world. but she also would know what to do during really bad days with your depression and she wouldn’t leave you, no matter what. she’d love to hear about some of the worlds that you dream up, finding them to be exciting. she’d never make you feel bad about your sexuality (especially because i hc that she herself is pan) and if you parents make you feel bad about your sexuality, she would be there to assure you that there’s nothing wrong with being bi

i hope you like this! and feel free to send me a message at either my main (@projectkingdomkeepers) or my sr/aom blog (@agent-joule) if you ever need to talk to someone!~ Boss Mod

Every time I read "Great Sky Island," it's said in the ghost ancestor's voice from Mulan in the same way he says, "Great Stone Dragon"

Screaming like a tea kettle over the subtle care between Link and Zelda

Researcher Zelda getting excited over her discovery is so adorable I love her so much

I love that bass sound in the cutscene right before the castle starts crumbling as it's being lifted skyward

First death was in combat. To be fair, it was 3 vs 1, and my shield turned to ash from the construct that had his stick on fire, and then the other one landed a hit. Head caved in by THICC Stick!

Minor detail, but I noticed in the dark cave when I swung my weapon. It also disturbed the fog around me!

The second death is by grabby hands! My borrowed wild horse spotted something, turned and ran as I was grabbing a new plant item. I climbed a boulder to get a better view of what I saw slithering just out of sight, and I see why they ran, but it saw me too! I was not quick enough on foot...

In one of the shrines, you have to bat a ball to the targets. I was creating the bat and went to test it out to see if it even swung and not get stuck on the floor due to the angle and without timing it, the ball was hit and landed the target immediately lol

Me runs over and stands on a rock. Said rock begins to rumble, "Ah of course....". It was a Talos

Riding across a bridge, I see something sparkling in the distance. It's the head of an electric Gleeok that's in the coliseum...

I veered off and ran through a bokoblin camp. Trying to ride through to the stables, I realized the cliff drops off into the river. So I leave my borrowed wild horse. Who then ends up running the same way I did lol

The korok trying to get to its friend near the Outskirt Stable was a pain! Having to go up the cliffside to get there. At one point the korok fell (misjudged the landing) and dropped all the way down. I went to fetch him, and the little guy kept rolling down the path in somersaults as Link was sprinting to catch him XD

Sneakily sniping a Bokoblin on watch duty. The others were asleep (beddy bye time). I took a photo for the compendium and then silent strike the remaining sleeping beauties. Turns out that helping Kilton build an exhibition of monsters leads to Hudson recreating a photo in whatever pose it was captured with. Which was it sleeping peacefully before being murdered

I was dragging a Korok to its friend via horse powered harness, and as we're riding through, he starts screaming, "Help! Heeeelp!". An enemy must've popped up, but I didn't see any, so it just looks like he was calling for him from ME 😈

I like the attack roomba and roadkill shrines

Shamelessly sending a korok down a cliff because it was the shortest and quickest way to get him to his friend 👀

Witnessed a hinox get a wakeup call via lightning. Then it saw me, but the lightning helped out by striking it again

AoM aside if we get a new saints row game eventually I want it to either be a reboot in the style of resident evil 7 (new story, old mechanics people wanted to keep, seeings how everyone praises 2.) or at least go back to the style of saints row 3.

I honestly wouldn’t mind upper scale mafia buissness in 4 as president instead of fucking matrix rip off space adventures tm, and dont get me started on gat outta hell. (I mean i don’t dislike the game itself, just the concept. Saints row always manages to charm and entertain and be fun)

I like actually being a badass mother fucker, no fucks given, as my boss, and i did enjoy the upper scale of the saints publicity in 3 vs still being a street gang only in 2. Something appeals to me in that so much of an extreme outlaw you’re famous, and also the chaotic amount of power you gain basically owning the city.

I hope AoM is used for Volition’s sci-fi/fantasy needs from now on and saints row goes back to being the gang based stuff like 3. (3 is my favorite im sorry). I want my grenades back and an actual need for cars other than aesetic (once u get ur sprint in 4 u dont need em tbh)

I want an even more expansive character customization, and if this is the last saints row game they make from scratch I at least want up to 4 player co-op, and maybe they copy GTA v and give us a saints row online open world to fuck around in, update with seasonal events and stuff like gta does, cause one thing saints row lacks is replayablity once you do everything. The challanges aren’t even worth replaying once u max gold. Like i love 3 but I dont have any excuses to keep playing it.

I also want a more expansive character customization, something i admired is they had more cartoony and fictional options for characters, i hope they keep with that, where as the character creator in gta v is “realstic” and pretty fucking shit imo. (for example I cannot make my albino oc on gta cause its just not possible, i can however do it on saints row and actually sculpt his fucking face to look like hes suppose to)

It’d also be neat too if you had a certain name for your boss from a list they would register that and use the correct voice cut to address your boss by name (but just being boss is fine and makes it easier) this is possible since cogsworth in fallout 4 does it.

I also want a huge world to explore, lots of little things to do, more interaction with the world. Being able to go inside certain buildings and stores, actually sit down at a bar and grab a drink, get drunk, do other things like that similar to how you can in gta.

i mean saints row obviously takes inspiration from gta. (and imo makes it more fun than gta) because its like gta on steriods so I wouldnt see it being a poblem if they added these things to the game.

so yeah just somethings i want to expect from the next saints row game if we get one.

Pre-Order Our New Book! The Illustrated Art of Manliness

Way back in 2009, an illustrator named Ted Slampyak emailed me wondering if we’d be interested in interviewing him for our “So You Want My Job” series. We took a look at his impressive portfolio and thought he would be a great fit for an installment. A year later in 2010, I got the idea of creating some vintage-inspired illustrated guides — the kind you’d see in old Popular Mechanics magazines or how-to books. I started trolling the web looking for an illustrator that could do that kind of work. After a fruitless search, Kate reminded me, “Remember that guy Ted we interviewed a year ago? He does that sort of stuff.” I couldn’t believe I forgot about Ted. So I sent him an email pitching my idea. He said he was game and so began a fruitful seven-year partnership. Our signature illustrated guides have become one of the most popular features here at AoM. We’ve produced hundreds of them over the years and several have gone viral on the interwebs. It’s no surprise why. Ted has a knack for creating detailed, easy-to-understand illustrations while simultaneously injecting humor and a little vintage charm into the art. They’re both useful and fun. Seven years later, we’ve decided to turn that illustrated guide concept into a full-fledged hardcover book — something you could keep on your nightstand or next to your toilet to perennially refresh yourself on the ins and outs of manly skills. After working tirelessly on it all of 2016, Ted and I are proud to announce that the finished book is ready to go and will soon be released! I’d like to introduce you to your next favorite Art of Manliness book: The Illustrated Art of Manliness. The Illustrated Art of Manliness When life tests a man’s mettle, he needs the wisdom to know the right thing to do, the courage to start it, the skill to complete it, and the style to look sharp along the way. The Illustrated Art of Manliness is your go-to guide for all of the above. It distills more than 100 practical skills every modern man should know into an entertaining, easy-to-follow visual format. We’ve taken some of the most popular illustrated guides we’ve published on the site and combined them with many never-before-seen ones to create a handsome hardcover book — over 60% of the content is brand-spanking new! We’ve organized the book into six roles a man should take on during his life: * The Adventurer * The Gentleman * The Technician * The Warrior * The Family Man * The Leader In The Illustrated Art of Manliness, you’ll find charming, vintage-inspired illustrations that cover how to: * Match a shirt and tie * Grill a perfect steak * Pick a lock and break down a door * Defend your family from an active shooter * Use every tool in your toolbox * Do the perfect push-up and pull-up * Start a fire without matches (and make a torch like Indiana Jones) * Escape from the trunk of a car * Deliver a baby * Magic tricks every cool uncle should know * Land a plane or jump from a speeding car * Dress for a job interview * Develop charisma * Lead a meeting and command the attention of a room * And much more! It’s the ultimate guide to becoming a better husband, father, friend, and citizen — part of a new generation of great men. I’m really proud of how this book turned out. It looks really sharp. We wanted to create something that looks and feels like what you’d find on your grandpa’s bookshelf and would want to pass on to your son. Our publisher, Little Brown, did a bang-up job with laying out and designing The Illustrated Art of Manliness. The book officially launches May 16, 2017, but you can pre-order the book from Amazon and other online book publishers. Pre-Order The Illustrated Art of Manliness If you’ve been following AoM since our start in 2008, you know that I rarely ask for anything from our readers in return for the reams of high quality, totally free content we put out — you all just reading and sharing our articles is support enough. But I do have one quick favor to request. If you feel like you’ve gotten anything out of reading the free content we’ve published on AoM all these years, please pre-order a copy (or 2, or 5, or 10!) of The Illustrated Art of Manliness today. Pre-order sales have become an important factor for publishers and booksellers in determining how much to promote a book (or stock it on store shelves) and we could use all the help we can get. Big pre-order sales numbers can help attract attention from other media outlets as well, which will allow us to get the book and the message of the Art of Manliness to a wider audience. You can pre-order the book on Amazon.com today and you’ll have it in your mailbox the day the book releases on May 16. Once you get a copy of the book and give it a read, please give us a review on Amazon, as that helps the rankings there. The book is available in both hardback and ebook, but I highly recommend picking up the former version. The visual nature of the book just lends itself far better to a physical format. The Illustrated Art of Manliness makes a great Father’s Day and graduation gift, so buy a copy for yourself and several more as gifts for others. Other Ways You Can Help With The Illustrated Art of Manliness Launch Besides buying boatloads of copies of The Illustrated Art of Manliness, we’d appreciate your help in spreading the word about it. Here are a few ways you can do so. All of them are easy and take just a minute or two: * Tweet, email, text, and Facebook share messages about the book to your friends and family. * Once you get your copy in the mail, post a picture of it on Instagram and link to the book’s webpage. * Give the book a review on Amazon once you’ve looked through it. I can’t wait for you to get this book. You’re going to love it. Thank you for your continued support of the Art of Manliness. It really means a lot to Kate, Jeremy, and I. Stay manly!

Podcast #493: 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die

There are over a hundred million books in existence. And the average person only has 8 decades in which to read them. So which books should you choose to read over others before you croak?

It’s a question that’s launched scores of lists and many an argument, and my guest today has fired his own missive in the debate.

His name is James Mustich, he’s been in the book business for over 30 years as a book seller, reviewer, and editor, and he’s created the ultimate book list in his book 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die. Today on the show, James explains his guiding philosophy on the books he decided to include in his list, and how he designed the book to have the feel of browsing through an ideal bookshop. James then makes the case for why book lists are helpful, but should never be seen as strictly prescriptive. We then dig into the surprising genres of books that James includes in his list, including science fiction, detective novels, and children’s books, and one or two of his very top recommendations in each category. At the end of our conversation, James makes a list just for the AoM audience of books every man should read before he dies.

Mention some of your favourite videogames please

Oh boy, you have asked The Question! I’m a major video games nerd, and there are so many I love… if I had to choose a single one, I’d implode from the pressure.

This post is going to be LONG (sorry), so I’ll put the most important part first: currently, I am in the process of making a game of my own. It takes ages because other than a couple of people who helped me out with music and sound, I’m pretty much on my own. But we’ll get there eventually, just you wait. The working title is City Under Siege, and it’s a visual novel mixed with strategy and dating sim elements. Basically, you play as a General who arrives to save the besieged city, you meet local resindents, you investigate who started the war and why, etc, and naturally you can fall in love with almost any of the characters you meet, including the enemy general. I’m so excited to write that game!

(ask me at cityundersiege-vn for progress updates if you’re interested, we have a playable demo and everything)

Now, on to the actual games I play… putting that under the cut, because the post is super long, and I don’t want to clutter anyone’s dashboard too much.

My absolute favorite series has to be the Sims, The Sims 2 and The Sims 4 in particular. TS2 allows virtually unlimited control when you create your character’s face, something the latter games lack; the animations quality is also top-notch, the smallest things like getting in/out of the car, taking the frying pan out of the kitchen drawer, all kinds of things are animated. The Sims 3 is a step back in that regard, although it offers some spectacular building tools, probably the best in the series, but I don’t really like building stuff. So. Currently, TS2 cannot be run properly on my computer, so I’m playing TS4 which is actually good, it had body diversity and trans gender options (that last part solidified my love for it).

There is one sims family I’ve been playing for 9 years, almost a decade. Five generations with an accompanying story. I love them so much, they’re like my own family at this point.

I love BioWare games for their intricate stories and quality writing.

Jade Empire is the best in that regard, the story is rich and complex, all the choices are truly difficult because they all have moral reasoning behind every option. The music, the colorful graphics, everything in that game is so enjoyable! I would sell my soul for a good sequel tbh.

Dragon Age 2 is one of my all-time favorite games, again, for its writing. Sure, it’s a little unpolished in parts, but ultimately, I find the story very nuanced and multi-faceted. It shows how true evil can hide behind benevolence, and the finale is tragic and brilliant in that tragedy.

Mass Effect trilogy is pretty good, although I usually prefer fantasy to Sci-Fi. It raises some interesting questions, especially ME3, regarding sentience and how far “the good guys” are willing to go for survival, what makes us people, etc. When I watched that recent “Annihilation” movie, I kept thinking I saw those themes explored in Mass Effect, lol.

I love visual novels, too! One VN that I cannot recommend enough is Solstice by MoaCube. IT IS SO GOOD. Brilliant writing that keeps you on the edge of your seat, the intrigue, the moral complexity, and of course the stunning art… one of my favorite games ever, definitely! I especially love the Kala subplot there: a knowledge so powerful, even asking too many questions about it can drive you mad…

Coming Out On Top is a really fun game, as well as Dream Daddy. Both are gay VNs, and both have interesting characters and hilarious cutting-edge humor. The light tone, the lovely art, they’re the fluffy rom-coms you never knew you needed until you played them.

Most Choice of… games are fun if you like text games (which I do). They’re more like interactive novels, really. My favorites are Zombie Exodus; Affairs of the Court: Choice of Romance; Pendragon Rising.

Oh, I also love old adventure games like Sierra’s and Lucas Arts’ ones, and recently Telltale. The Day of the Tentacle and the Monkey Island series were a big part of my childhood, they helped me learn English, and overall they’re just very fun, witty, beautiful games. The remastered versions are even available for mobile phones, I think.

Technobabylon and Shardlight are great adventure games. Powerful emotional stories. A must-play if you like adventure games and/or cyberpunk.

The Legend of Kyrandia series is one of my favorites, too. The second game in the series, Hand of Fate, is probably the best one due to its humor and the peculiar game mechanic where you get to make magic potions.

I’ve recently played Expeditions: Viking, and while it might be not my favorite game yet, the start is rather promising. It has its problems, which I’m not sure I should focus on. It’s time-consuming due to its tactical focus, a single fight takes 10 minutes at the very least. I haven’t managed to finish it yet, but the beginning of the game looks promising.

When it comes to strategies, I love Age of Mythology and Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic. Don’t let the titles confuse you, they’re completely different games. AoM is a real-time strategy, while AoW:SM is turn-based. In AoM, you meet a wonderful Queen Amanra (incidentally voiced by the same voice actress who plays Meredith in Dragon Age 2) and travel through Ancient Greece, Egypt, Norse lands, and in the latest DLC even China. Very fun. In AoW:SM, you play as a wizard in a war against shadow demons; not much in terms of story, but the soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard in my life!! I even bought it separately, which I never do. That music is so good, it’s a balm that cures a wounded soul.

I could go on and on, because I have barely scratched the surface of the games I love, these are the bare essentials… but this post is too long as it is.

Sorry for the late and disproportionally huge answer ^.^’

#i'm so sorry for talking so much but i love so many games i literally can't choose one #anonymous #ask

Before you hit enter again to use it, highlight it and hit Ctrl+C. Then hit enter twice to do the code and bring up the cheat thing again. Now hit Ctrl+V and then enter twice. Repeat this process until you have an almost unlimited amount of resouces. It’s alot faster than typing in the code a thousand times. =)

Lazer Bear

If you type in “O CANADA” (without the quotation marks of course) A bear with a cape will appear next to your base. If you want it to move, it will move very fast. Its attack is almost useless but it does some damage. They’re lasers that shoot out of his eyes.
