The new Love Shack is a place where pure pandemonium is on the cusp of breaking loose at any moment. Where deafening cheers are heard, voices are lost, and hearts are filled with joy. It’s a place where Tech has already won some incredibly momentous games in its inaugural season…. and we’re not done yet.
Back in February, I wrote a post about the brand-spanking new ball park at Louisiana Tech. In that post, I waxed poetic about the changes to the stadium and how nice it would be to finally see Tech play a true “Home” game for the first time in what felt like a lifetime. I covered some of the new amenities and included some cool slider “before and after” pics.
The crux of the article was the the new and improved J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park kicks ass. And boy was that a hot taek at the time! I mean, seriously. A brand new ball park with 21st Century amenities built in the same on-campus location that Tech fans have known and loved for years? Yeah… really going out on limb with that one.
But, like all of my pseudo-journalism… like all of my previous and mostly mediocre attempts to cover Tech sports on this here blog… I forgot to include the most important factor that makes the Love Shack so damn special: the team, the crowds, and the pure magic that can happen on a baseball diamond.
To be fair to myself, the Bulldogs hadn’t taken the turf at the Love Shack when I wrote that article. There’s only so much you can glean from one session of batting practice!
And let me tell you, although the stadium looks phenomenal on ESPN+…(CUSA.tv, this is your cue to get better or get lost), it’s something you have to see to believe.
And last weekend, I finally got the chance to see (and believe) the new Love Shack. I don’t need to tell you that it’s beautiful. I did that back in February, I tweeted it from the blue chairbacks last weekend, and I wrote it above, in this article.
Coming into that stadium on Friday night was surreal. As a student at Tech more years ago than I’d like to admit, the Love Shack was just kind of… there. It was a special place, sure. Students yelled at outfielders, rally trains came just on time, and Tech won more than they lost. But something was missing. The location was doing most of the work to make the Love Shack a cool place to watch a ball game.
The Pineapple Dawg: Smoked sausage, pineapple salsa, grilled onions, and fried boudin balls… surprisingly NOT the highlight of last Saturday night
The stadium itself…? Not so much. Want a drink or some popcorn? Head outside the stadium where you can hardly even hear the crowd, let alone see the action! Want to host a regional? Hope you’re ready to only have 400 tickets available to your own fans! Want to entice the good people of Ruston and North Louisiana to come out for a game? Good luck. And why was it so…. green? Whose decision was that?!
Fast-forward to 2021, and everything has changed. The stadium is now a HUGE part of the reason to come catch a game at Tech. The rally trains are still there–but now you can watch the Bulldogs get walk-off after walk-off from the comfort of a blue chairback (if you’re lucky enough to get one!), standing in line for concessions (brisket quesadilla, anyone?), from the left field “patio”, or from under the new scoreboard in right field. A wise man once said, “The New Love Shack Kicks Ass”, and oh boy does it!
There’s something to be said about the new facilities and what having this ball park will mean in the distant future. This new ballpark runs circles around our CUSA brethren, and the benefits will show up on the diamond in the next couple of years. When potential future Bulldogs see this park, and watch game videos from the CUSA Tourney, they will have to become Bulldogs. As the great Jim Robken used to say at Time Out For Tech, “I encourage you to look around and find the best school for you. But let’s make one thing clear… you’re coming to Tech!!” That’s what this ballpark says to me if I’m a top caliber high school recruit.
Last weekend, I got my first taste of what the New Love Shack can be. On Saturday, I watched the Bulldogs pull out not one, but TWO incredible comebacks against USM. If you followed our twitter feed on Saturday, or listened to our podcast(s) this week, you know how I feel about those games. But it’s worth stating here, too. Steele Netterville’s walk-off hit to cap off the incredible comeback in game one took over the “Best Sports Moment Evan Has Ever Seen Live” crown… for about six hours.
Then, Philip Matulia, with his glorious mane flowing in the wind, walks up to the plate to face the Mustard Buzzards’… starting shortstop….? You literally could not write what happened here into a movie. In the movie about the Bulldogs 2019-2021 experience, you couldn’t end it this way. Sure, the heroes come back to win the game, but you CAN’T do it in bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, down by one run, FULL COUNT. That’s WAY too cheesy. That script is getting sent back with a big ol’ red X through the final scene!
But the New Love Shack isn’t a movie set. It’s a real-life field of dreams for Tech fans. It’s a place where incredible things can happen. A place where the Bulldogs can do anything. Down 8-0 in the 5th inning of an elimination game? No sweat. Down 5-3 with two down in the bottom of the ninth… of another elimination game? Yawn.
What I witnessed on Saturday has enshrined the new Love Shack not just as my favorite college ballpark or my favorite place to watch a baseball game… It might be my favorite stadium in the world. When insane moments happen, it changes your perception of a place.
The new Love Shack is a place where pure pandemonium is on the cusp of breaking loose at any moment. Where deafening cheers are heard, voices are lost, and hearts are filled with joy. It’s a place where Tech has already won some incredibly momentous games in its inaugural season…. and we’re not done yet.
Again, the editor is sending back the script here… But those two walk-off wins? They won you a spot in the CUSA title game…
But all season, we’ve heard that Tech is a fringe hosting team. And last Saturday, for the first time all season I felt like the magic run was over. I figured we’d head to Starkville, or Oxford, or Austin to play our playoff baseball as one of the 17th-32nd best teams in the nation. A great honor, but not the fitting end to the movie.
But the funky old Shack wasn’t done… Those two walk-off wins on perhaps the greatest day in Louisiana Tech baseball history clinched EVEN MORE baseball in Ruston this year. That’s right: WE ARE HOSTING A GOD DAMN NCAA REGIONAL THIS WEEKEND!
So pile in your cars, fire up the grill, and get your ass to Ruston. I don’t need to tell you how huge this is for our program; how much it means to the players, the university, and the community. That’s all been done by real journalists in the past week.
What I’m going to tell you is that the Love Shack’s voodoo magic ain’t done yet. Tonight, the Bulldogs take the field against the Broncos from Rider University, and the crowd will be absolutely BUZZING. In fact, tickets were so hard to get for this game, gtpdd will be relegated to the Right Field Berm. And the thing is, I don’t give a crap. Because when the pandemonium breaks loose, I have to be there. The Love Shack is calling and I must go.
See everyone tonight at the Shack. Don’t you know, pump it up!
I cannot wait to get in that Stadium and root for the Dawgs! What a place to catch a ballgame. I am certain its gonna be a magical place all weekend.

On gaming’s biggest stage, it can pay to be small.
No one could reasonably say that E3 2021 was short on spectacle. Following a year off due to the covid-19 pandemic, some publishers swung for the fences, showing off forthcoming tentpole games and offering initial reveals for games like Starfield and Elden Ring. If you’re even a casual observer of these affairs, you know that major publishers tend to build out their showcase setlists by spotlighting indie games. And this year, few stood out among the crowd more than Replaced, the debut game from Belarus-based Sad Cat Studios.
Replaced, a 2.5D platformer that oozes neon and ‘80s-inspired cyberpunk vibes, popped up midway through Microsoft and Bethesda’s joint E3 presser to near-instant oohs and aahs. Amid the praise, some pointed out similarities between Replaced and The Last Night, an indie platformer mired in controversy. But Replaced is looking a little more likely to complete development right now.
It’s not just the striking art or the crunchy-looking John Wick-ish combat or the absurdly compelling premise, in which the player is cast as an artificial intelligence program trapped inside a human body. Replaced caught my eye by catching my ear, mostly the result of some tremendously irresistible backdrop music—a dark, moody synth-pop track that sounds like an earworm you can’t quite pinpoint but definitely need to add to your Spotify library, stat.

This solid initial showing heralded an unprecedented level of attention for Sad Cat. Igor Gritsay, one of the studio’s co-founders, told me over a Zoom call that, for the first 72 hours after Replaced’s big stage debut, “basically the world almost stopped.” His phone rang off the hook. Notifications for comments and new followers rolled in by the seconds. “It was good—but, at the same time, you want to sleep as well.”
Like any game, Replaced, which has been in development for about three years, has gone through significant changes. At one point, even its core draw—the 2.5D perspective, amplified by that delicious pixel art—wasn’t established yet. Once upon a time, Replaced was “closer to 3D, like 2.75D,” said Gritsay. That idea barely lasted six months.
In that earlier build, the 2.75D one, Replaced featured complex camera rotations. You’d might round the corner of a building, and the camera would follow you, not unlike Fez, the 2012 indie puzzle game. That proved a herculean lift, particularly for a team that started out as just three people.
For instance, when you’d rotate the camera around a building, a sprite of the environment would stick out unnaturally, creating a disjointed look. What might seem like a small technical conundrum then spurred a whole line of existential questions about the project’s core tenets. “Do we make it a full 3D object? Then what’s the point of pixel art in this game?” said Gritsay. Adds Yura Zhdanovich, one of Sad Cat’s co-founders: “It was very disorienting.”
Yes, there’s a train level.

That’s not all. Incorporating 3D elements sparked a sense of confusion, in which it was all too easy to get lost while exploring. That meant designing a map system, says Gritsay, which introduced a whole new set of problems. When you’re talking about a narrative-driven, side-scrolling game, such navigational features are nice, but not exactly necessary.
So, it was settled. 2.5D. Bit more manageable that way.
“2.5 D is very vague in its definition because there are a lot of games that [say they’re] 2.5D,” said Zhdanovich. “From our perspective, 2.5D is, particularly in our case, a game that has depth within the environment but has a mostly linear type of side-scrolling gameplay.”
When Replaced comes out next year sometime, it’ll do so day and date as part of the Xbox Game Pass library. It’s a distribution model that’s radically changing how independent developers get their games in front of players—and, for some, giving them access to audiences beyond what they could reach with a traditional marketing campaign.
Game Pass, for those who don’t know, is Microsoft’s games-on-demand service, essentially a “Netflix for video games” sort of deal. First launched in 2017, a monthly fee gets you access to a few hundred games, plus any Microsoft-published title. You can then play those games indefinitely, so long as they remain in the library. Over the past few years, the service has exploded in popularity, claiming about 23 million members. For an indie studio releasing its very first game, that’s a whole lot of potential players.
“Within the scene, the major problem here is just [to] stand out, because there is a big competition among indie games. And also there’s this huge market of triple-A games that always capture all the attention,” said Gritsay. “The main motivation here is just to let more people know about the game … For us, it’s a single-shot opportunity. We need to take every possibility and every chance we have.”
The flipside here is that appearing on Game Pass could arguably cut into potential total sales. Think about it: If a movie is on Hulu or HBO Max or any other streaming service, why would you pay to rent it through traditional means? You can already watch it for “free.” The same principle applies to games on a games-on-demand library.
But Gritsay says that the studio still derives something valuable from the experience, and that Game Pass “helps [boost sales] somehow.” Gritsay did acknowledge that no open data exists for this sort of thing. (Microsoft doesn’t publicly share financial details surrounding agreements with developers. Last year, while speaking to The Verge, Xbox boss Phil Spencer described such deals as “all over the place.”)
Yes, the project has clearly ramped up in recent months, and it no doubt received a boost by showing up at such a high-profile event. But it’s still a long road to release—one that ostensibly ends during a broad and undefined “2022” window, which could always shift in a blink. And at the moment, Sad Cat isn’t ready to share more of the game beyond that initial peek.
“We’re taking it one step at a time,” said Zhdanovich.
