Posted on August 22, 2016 by SynCaine

‘Female Protagonist” – More harm than good

Posted on August 17, 2016 by SynCaine

The all-female lead Ghostbusters movie bombed recently. I didn’t see it, mostly because I don’t care for that franchise and because previews looked terrible, but also in part because ‘all female’ or ‘female lead’ marketing puts me off. And not … Continue reading →

Gaming at 3440 x 1440

Posted on August 10, 2016 by SynCaine

My 1080 GTX finally arrived, and after figuring out how to go from two 6-pin power cables to two 8-pin power cables (turns out my 6-pins had tucked-away 2-pin additions, so it was actually very simple once I found those … Continue reading →

Mordheim City of the Damned review

Posted on August 8, 2016 by SynCaine

Little (huge) update: Since I ordered a 1080 GTX and everyone was telling me playing at 1900×1200 was poor people stuff, I also got a Dell UltraSharp U3415W. Now you might be thinking “Syn do you really need a resolution … Continue reading →

Posted on August 7, 2016 by SynCaine

More on this tomorrow, but Steam has Mordheim: City of the Damned on sale right now (it was also free this weekend). Its a turn-based team strategy game, kinda like Bloodbowl without the football, but doesn’t feel like your normal … Continue reading →

Posted on August 1, 2016 by SynCaine

Gaming update time. Basically I’m kinda hovering in most games as I wait for the 1080 GTX to arrive, which will hopefully be this week. I started playing ARK again with the old crew I played with almost a year … Continue reading →

Posted on July 19, 2016 by SynCaine

I’ve decided that I’m going to get an Nvidia 1080 GTX at some point ‘soon’. I don’t know when exactly, because I still haven’t decided which version of the card to get (feel free to offer advice here, I’m not … Continue reading →

I don’t even know what to call you anymore

Posted on July 18, 2016 by SynCaine

Gaming terminology and descriptions have always been a little off. Remember when everything had “RPG elements”? Or when everything was an MMO? Or now when even MMOs aren’t called MMOs by publishers? I feel like right now, Early Access, alpha, … Continue reading →

TimeWarp – Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor

Posted on July 13, 2016 by SynCaine

A 3rd Timewarp post? Incredible but true! I picked up Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor on the latest Steam sale, because $7.50 for a GotY title seemed like a smart move. I was right. SoM is very good, especially because it … Continue reading →

Project Zomboid – A box with no sand

Posted on June 20, 2016 by SynCaine

Note: The below might be more of a reflection of my general burnout on zombie survival than Project Zomboid (PZ) itself, but I don’t think so. Also, yea, I’m not sure why I started playing yet another zombie game, but … Continue reading →
