Now We’re Getting Somewhere
Our adventures in Starbound continue. Most of our last session was spent in a mining facility looking for a special crystal to fix our ship. Much to my surprise, this mining facility looked like a designed level rather than procedurally generation. It’s a good thing we found a few weapon caches on our first planet…

Lining up the Next 5
I’m still making an effort to play games from my Steam backlog. Back in February, I mapped out the next 5 games that I wanted to play from my Steam Library. I found this more useful than I intended it to be. Not only does it break up the big goal, clear out the Steam…

Expedition Survived!
Typically, Saturday nights are reserved for playing Warframe as a group. This week, everyone was in agreement that we needed a break from that. So instead, we spent the night trying our hand at the first expedition, “The Dig”, in GTFO. The first few runs did not look promising. Mistimed melee attacks alerting all the…

Starbound: A Blast From the Past
The last time I played Starbound was in 2013. As you’d excpect, a lot has changed in 7 years. Starbound was my fourth purchase on Steam. It was also my first experience with Early Access. I put about 40 hours into the early access build before I put it away. Not bad for a $15…

I Only PVP Socially
Now that I’m playing more Hunt: Showdown I’ve been thinking more about my relationship with PVP games. If you would have asked me a week ago I would have told you I avoid them and I’m a PVE carebear all the way. But that’s not entirely true. When I reflect back, some of my best…

A Bit of Filler
I read Belghast’s post this morning about just writing and a topic might jump out at you. That’s an approach I should take more often. Even if it doesn’t lead to something riveting at least I’m sitting down and interacting with my blog. Today is one of those days where I don’t feel like writing.…

Hellhounds and Devilfish
Last night we played more of Hunt: Showdown. I’m not sure how many matches, they all kind of blend together, but we did manage to extract with the Bounty twice. Which let us recoup all of the money we lost dying all night. I’m not sure what was up, whether it was my internet, my…

Hunt: Showdown First Impressions
Next on the list of games that are outside my normal genre we have Hunt: Showdown. Or as I like to call it Bayou Zombie Simulator 2020. Greg has wanted this game for a while and its made for duos so I figured I’d try it out too. First impressions: wow I suck at…

GTFO or Trying to At least
We’ve been experimenting with GTFO this weekend. And by experimenting I mean dying over and over and over again. But hey, losing with your friends is better than losing by yourself, you always have someone to blame! With approximately 4 hours of gameplay under my belt here’s what I can tell you. GTFO is a…

Bunny Day has Arrived
Over the past two weeks, I’ve been slowly working towards crafting all of the Bunny Day recipes for Animal Crossing. Lately, the main bottleneck has been water eggs. I felt like I was getting more eggs than fish during the first few days of the event but I’ve been hard-pressed to find them this week.…

Breaking Resolutions
It looks like my New Years Resolution lasted until April. That’s probably the longest I’ve ever kept one anyways. And, to be honest, technically I broke it but I don’t know if I broke it in the spirit of things. I set out a lofty goal to only by a select few games that I…

Home Sweet Home
Today I’m officially moving into my first house! We started looking in January, found a house at the beginning of February, and have been going through the long process that is buying real estate. It’s a weird time to move, that’s for sure, but as long as I’m going to stuck at home I won’t…
