  • Correlates loosely. From a product standpoint, the Falcon’s hotdog is awful because they want it to be crazy cheap so they will win this comparison every year. Bears is probably the best because they use Vienna.

    No idea why Buffalo is so high, but Vegas and the two LA teams are just because the city is expensive.

    Actual served quality will vary quite a bit. A lot of basic concessions stands tend to be operated by volunteers fundraising for organizations. You’ll get a soccer team or a sorority operating a stand. Some will do great, some horrible. The other leagues have a lot less of that because more games means more events for people to work. It’s hard to fully staff a football stadium for eight nights a year with real employees.



  • No particular order:

    It’s kinda cheating, but the game Capsized is a decent XBLA-era side scrolling shooter-platformer with an excellent soundtrack. That’s because it uses the existing album Movements by Solar Fields.
    Solar Fields actually scored a different game with an excellent soundtrack: Mirrors Edge

    Uplink and Darwinia, Introversion Software’s first two games, have lovely soundtracks.

    Nitronic Rush, a student game that got remade into the survival racing game Distance, has one of the greatest Christmas songs ever made on its soundtrack.

    The original Lemmings and its expansions used quite good chiptune renditions of classical and classic pop songs. Each platform has a different soundtrack, but Amiga is probably the best.

    PPPPPP, the soundtrack to VVVVVV is very crunchy chiptune. The last track is weird though.

    Outer Wilds is simply amazing.

    Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2 have great, varied soundtracks.












  • The D:OS games rely heavily on surface and cloud mechanics to add combat depth, especially for spellcasters. Fights get really messy by the end, which can be interesting or exhausting depending on who you ask. BG3 stripped most of that out in the conversion to D&D.

    If you enjoy word puzzles and exploration, I’d highly recommend Lingo and/or Lingo 2. Either one is a good starting point. First is more open ended, second has a progression system that slowly expands the possibility space. The first game also has some excellent custom maps, such as Duolingo and Liduongo.
