My war isn’t kind. As a matter of fact, it’s quite stressful and full of tough decisions. Like who gets to sleep in a bed or how many lockpicks I should make in a day because every damn door is locked. Did all of these interior doors get locked before the war began? Were the… Continue reading

Game Curious Dungeon Souls – On Your Marks
There sure are a lot of souls out there. Some dark, others titan, some that belong to a demon and now those that are… dungeon. I’m not sure why I want them for myself, but they do make me stronger. I need to get stronger to defeat all the minions inside the dungeon so I… Continue reading
Game Curious Environmental Station Alpha – Should I Be Here?
Why do all powerless space stations want to kill me? Just once I’d like to find a derelict space station that is preserving happiness for the next explorer that shows up. Maybe it’s that drive to find my happy place in the remote reaches of the universe that makes me want to risk my life on jumps… Continue reading
Just Playing Batman: Arkham Asylum – The Intro Returns
While waiting on the PC patch for Arkham Knight, I take a break to revisit the Asylum. It has been a few years, but the memory of the signature Batman games still burns bright. How does it hold up? What has Arkham Knight improved upon, and what has it forgotten? How did Joker pull off… Continue reading
Game Curious Apotheon – It’s All Greek
It’s not often I get sent on a journey to battle the gods, but I’m not one to turn down a challenge. My city’s been ransacked and that’s gotten me a little upset, so it’s hard not to make rash decisions. Plus I have a lot of swords, spears and a sweet axe. Zeus, come at… Continue reading
Played Batman: Arkham Knight – Meaningless Car Metaphors
I kind of feel like a dick for how I’ve treated Arkham Knight. It has been subject to a lot of criticism from me throughout its development. That criticism comes from a positive place though. Arkham Asylum is one of my favorite games of all time, if not just my favorite superhero game. Stop and… Continue reading
Game Curious Brutal Doom v20 – Giddy with Gore
The Doom mod community is ridiculous. Best encapsulated by the fact that there are now 20 versions of Brutal Doom which is the only recent mod I’ve played and therefore my favorite. The addition of death throes, dismemberments, modern weapons, and modern FPS controls make Doom feel like new again. So much fun my face… Continue reading
Just Playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Jenny O’ the Woods
Monster contracts have been my favorite quests so far in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Mainly because I just want an excuse to explore the world and discover something new. Preferably that something new is a hideous new creature or foe that I’ve never had the pleasure of fighting before. It’s time to get to… Continue reading
Game Curious Sproggiwood – Step By Step
I had a friend once. His name was Sproggi and he got me into all sorts of trouble. Staying straight-edge was near impossible when Sproggi’s antics included imprisoning me in his realm and sending me on suicide missions over and over. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the discovery of new items… Continue reading
Played Splatoon – You Are What You Ink
Leave it to Nintendo to tackle the multiplayer scene with one of the strangest takes on online shooters since the warfare between plants and zombies. Splatoon, a new joint from the Big N, pits teams of squid-kid hybrids (called inklings) against each other in skirmishes less about mindless murder and more about territorial vandalism. It’s quite… Continue reading
Game Curious Splatoon – You’ve Got Ink On You
It’s been a while since I was actually interested in a multiplayer game with random strangers from the start. Usually I’ll warm up with some friends and if I like it enough, I’ll go public. Nintendo had my best interests in mind with Splatoon because it turns out that playing a fun game with other… Continue reading
Game Curious Heavy Bullets – And Megaton Bombs
Here I am, making yet another trip to reset the security mainframe. I’ve navigated through this maze several times now with nothing but my wits and a handful of bullets of questionable weight. I’m told they’re Heavy Bullets, but they always seem to hop around as if lighter than usual… or possibly drunk. As for me, I… Continue reading
