What to throw money at: The next Civilization game is coming
October 24th isn’t THAT far away… right? I never played Alpha Centari, so the Sci-Fi theme here is something new to look forward to for me. I also think the setting will allow the devs to bring in some ideas … Continue reading

Pathfinder Online: Everything but the game is looking awesome!
I was recently talking to a friend about Pathfinder Online, with the gist of the conversation being that I love everything about the game on paper, from the design docs to what the devs have said, but actually seeing it … Continue reading

Tales from Steam: 90% off
So many questions about this. Like what is the end-game here? Because at 50 cents a copy, no amount of sales is going to amount to anything here, so what’s the point? 90% off is a bit much. This kinda … Continue reading

Risen related: Well that’s good timing
Not only is Risen 1 and 2 on Steam sale today, but Risen 3 is coming out in August. Didn’t know any of that when I wrote my post below.

Comments Off on Risen related: Well that’s good timing
Risen is a surprisingly great open-world RPG you should play
I’ve been playing Risen since returning from vacation (picked up in a Humble Bundle pack a while back), and I’m very pleasantly surprised by the game. I went into it expecting/hoping for an “80% of Skyrim” type of experience, and … Continue reading

Missing the Steam sale, not buying beta, leading in CoC

I’m back!
So every time I go on vacation, I debate stating so on the blog. Basically every time I say I’m on vacation, I find time to blog and it makes the whole “going away” message a bit pointless. Well this … Continue reading
