I am, once again, on the verge of a busy few weeks. Or have been, if the fact that I missed last week due to being slammed through Sunday. And now I’m about to be away again, gallivanting for a bit and I still have to finish packing. There’s an eighteen-hour flight ahead of me… Continue reading Midflight Occupation

Slightly More Political Nazi Punching
I am having an absolute blast playing Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It’s got all the Nazi-fighting goodness of its predecessor (plus the added bonus of getting to fight the Ku Klux Klan too) buoyed by a stronger plot: In a world where the Nazis won World War II and have conquered the United States,… Continue reading Slightly More Political Nazi Punching
Offline Games
The PlayStation Network was down for around twenty-four hours. Means I couldn’t go online to play Destiny 2, means I couldn’t download It Takes Two, means I couldn’t update Star Wars: Outlaws with its myriad patches. Which was fine, wasn’t really planning on any of that on Friday (Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is the… Continue reading Offline Games
Apolitical Nazi Punching
Deciding I wanted some counter-programming to Monday (and the week that would inevitably follow), I started playing the video game Wolfenstein: The New Order. I’ve been vaguely aware of the Wolfenstein games — Wolfenstein 3D, in addition to being the predecessor to the seminal FPS Doom, is the game where, after fighting a whole lot… Continue reading Apolitical Nazi Punching
Hallucinated Stealth
I got a pingback recently letting me know that one of my posts on this blog had been linked to by another. Curious about who was using my post about stealth in Cyberpunk 2077 as reference I checked it out. The post seemed… Odd. There was something off about its verbiage, links didn’t make sense.… Continue reading Hallucinated Stealth
The End(?)
I’m not a League of Legends player, not by a long shot. I played a couple rounds of DOTA with some friends several years ago and was very much a liability to my team. Figuring I wasn’t much for it, I never got into MOBAs when they became a big thing, checking out neither DOTA2… Continue reading The End(?)
Graphically Competent
I’ve been replaying Uncharted 4, looking for a discrete narrative adventure after playing a lot of Cyberpunk 2077 and before I inevitably lose myself to Star Wars Outlaws. Though maybe I’ll finally check out the Wolfenstein games too — fighting Nazis seems cathartic in the light of the everything of it all. But Uncharted 4.… Continue reading Graphically Competent
I’ll Wait This Time
There’s a new Star Wars video game out! In Outlaws you play as a scoundrel who’s doing (space) crime as she makes her way through the galaxy, avoiding the Empire and running in with the rough and tumble of the Outer Rim. It sounds pretty cool. I say sounds because even though it came out… Continue reading I’ll Wait This Time
For Its Sake
So I’ve been playing a bunch of Battlegrounds lately, slipping into old habits and all that. As I’m playing the game I’ve been trying to get better at it, to be able to take on computers on harder difficulties. This is taking some getting used to: my strategy games for the past several years have… Continue reading For Its Sake
Back To The Battlegrounds
Through an endeavor of emulation, I’ve managed to get Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds running on a Mac. The little hiccups of wanting to play a game that you own the Windows edition of on Steam when you exist in a Mac-based environment. But I got it working! And I, once again, revisited an old Star… Continue reading Back To The Battlegrounds
