  • Backlogged: Horizon Zero Dawn

    Every once and a while I’ll get around to playing one of those critically aclaimed games that’s come out in the past 10 years. I have an amazing propensity to avoid spoilers and/or forget spoilers by the time I get around to playing or watching something. Horizon Zero Dawn was everywhere when it came out.…

  • GRIME: A Souls-like Where You Won’t Lose Souls

    For this months Blaugust Reviews Humble Choice I took on the task of playing GRIME, a souls-like, metroidvania developed by Clover Bite. I played GRIME for just over two and a half hours which, honestly, was about an hour and a half longer than I thought I’d spend on it. I don’t typically last long…

  • Demon Turf – March 2023 Humble Choice

    I like 3D platformers as a concept but, admittedly, I haven’t played a ton of them. Which is why I chose to take a look at Demon Turf for this month’s Humble Choice. It has an interesting ascetic and I thought it would provide a fresh gameplay experience. I played about two and a half…

  • Fallout 76 Frustrations – February 2023 Humble Choice

    One of the reason’s I like Humble Choice is getting to try out games I wouldn’t have bought in the first place. I’ve found a couple games this way that, at first glance, didn’t look like my thing but turned out to be really fun. Sometimes those games just don’t click for me. Fallout 76…

  • February 2023 Goals

    January was all about Elite, Elite, Elite. I didn’t play much else and I defiantly did not write about anything else. Last month I started my career as a Commander, I took a trip out to the Eagle Nebula and found a prison colony, I talked about some third party tools I’ve been using, took…

  • You Want How Many Landmines?

    This week I’ve been hanging around my adopted home station, Aleksandrov Gateway, in LHS 115. It’s a small station in a small system with about 10.4 million inhabitants. However, it’s got a lot of ships available and modules available in one place so I’ve parked all of my ships here for the time being. I’ve…

  • Back to the Bubble

    The trip back to the Bubble included a bit more sight seeing along the way. It did take quite a bit less time though, mostly because I wasn’t stopping at every biological signal I found. With the credits I made from my trip out I had more than enough.  Still I made a point to…

  • Essential Third Party Tools for Elite: Dangerous

    Essential third party tools may seem like a misnomer. Surely, an eight year old game has everything it needs baked in to it at this point but that’s just not the case. While there are plenty of in-game tools they just don’t offer the level of information that you would expect. For example, the trade…

  • Into the Black

    Last week, I started my first long trip out of the Bubble to the Eagle Nebula which is about 6,000 light years outside of civilized space. It’s a trip I had planned to take back in 2018 and made it about halfway before turning around to rush back to the Bubble when some friends wanted…

  • A Commander Once More

    It’s been a long time since I was this engaged with Elite: Dangerous. In fact, it’s been about 5 years since I’ve posted about it which is probably the last time I was playing.I made a few attempts to play in VR earlier last year and, while it looked amazing, re-learing all of the controls…

  • Take Me to Space

    This weekend, I found myself with an intense desire to play a space game. Maybe it’s because I just finished Ghost Song and wanted to continue with the scif-fi theme. Or maybe it’s because I’ve finished two very long games over the past couple months and wanted to play something different. Maybe it’s just a…

  • A Look at Blade Assault

    Blade Assault is 2D, action rouge-lite, platformer with an emphasis on action. It’s available in this month’s Humble Choice and it’s the game I’ve taken for a spin for UnwiseOwl’s communal monthly Humble Choice Review. The first thing that drew me to Blade Assault was the flashy, fast paced combat featured in the trailer. The…
