Beep beep beep

Posted on April 23, 2015 by SynCaine

GW doesn’t want my money after all

Posted on April 23, 2015 by SynCaine

Great, a Total War game without mod support, yay! I was actually going to write today about how I fear for my wallet with TW: Warhammer, because if there was ever an IP to milk DLC, it’s freaking Warhammer. $10-$15 … Continue reading →

Going oldschool with AoW3

Posted on April 17, 2015 by SynCaine

The Age of Wonders 3 play-by-email feature is, surprisingly, a godsend. The core problem with AoW3 multiplayer is that one player’s turn can take a long, long time if you fight multiple battles, while other turns might be very, very … Continue reading →

GTA V: The corpse of the Skyrim UI designer got reanimated I guess?

Posted on April 14, 2015 by SynCaine

Paying full price, because it won’t be changing anytime soon

Posted on April 13, 2015 by SynCaine
