Posted on June 13, 2016 by SynCaine

I mean… why are you not taking my money already? I’ve been hyped for a lot of games over the years, I don’t know that any matches Bannerlord, in large part because I’ve played Warband more than any non-MMO game … Continue reading →

Time as a measure of greatness

Posted on March 2, 2016 by SynCaine

I often give ‘reviews’ of games here. Sometimes official reviews (whatever that means), and sometimes just some random thoughts about a game I’m currently playing. I’ve now been playing games for multiple decades, and have likely written about hundreds here … Continue reading →

More Steam mod talk, including Gabe comments

Posted on April 27, 2015 by SynCaine
