Video Games
I do this for a living and for fun.
X-COM: Resist Restartitis
I’m making some progress in my X-COM campaign. I’ve had some great victories, but some things are starting to go south. I really want to start over, but I’m trying to resist that instinct. Because you never know how a campaign will go until the end.
Return of the Stone Cleric
Aura has rejoined the Troupe, bringing along her clockwork squirrel Muffy and her skills as a tinkerer. Now their journey takes them back south along the Trade Way. They are to go to Nashkel and recruit another priest before their next expedition into the Cloakwood.
A Month in X-COM: UFO Defense
I’ve been revisiting an old classic. One of, if not the earliest PC game I ever played. As a teenager I would plan out bases and send soldier on missions in an attempt to repel the UFO invasion.
Falling Stars and Haunted Hearts
On their second expedition into the Cloakwood, Aegon and his Troupe assaulted the spider’s den. They wiped out the entourage of the creature within, but it cost them the lives of Breagar and Imoen.
I Completed Miracle Sudoku
I’ve been playing the puzzles in this game on and off for months. Now, after 74 hours in this game, I have completed all 100 puzzles. This will now be the 8th game I’ve full completed in my Steam Library. Only 430 to go.
Return to the Spider’s Den
After Kivan joined them, the Troupe have made their way back to the Cloakwood. On their return to the Iron Throne’s mine, they must once again face the perils that lie within. Two seek their vengeance, but all seek a way to end Tazok’s grip on the Sword Coast.
Learning Forged Battalion
I’ve been relearning how to play strategy games old-skool style, thanks to Petroglyph’s Forged Battalion. It’s not been an easy game to get into. It has a steep learning curve, but once you start to understand some basic strategies you’ll find there’s a fun experience hidden within.
One Night in Friendly Arm
While travelling to High Hedge to re-equip themselves, the Troupe met Kivan. An elven archer seeking revenge for the murder of one close to him. His target, as it turns out, is Tazok the half-ogre. Someone the Troupe has already been hunting on their investigation of the Iron Throne.
The Remnants of Isolation
Remnants of Isolation, developed by KOMODO, is a JRPG-style game centered on two characters attempting to escape a magical prison. While its story is simple and serviceable, the game truly shines due to its inventive twist on RPG Maker’s core combat mechanics. Mechanics that reinforce the characters and the story.
