This is the story of Murder Chicken. I have been playing a lot of Palworld. My son loves watching me play which I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not. But that isn't this story. In Palworld, there is a faction I call the "MiBs" (Men in Black). They are some of the… Continue reading Story: Murder Chicken

Review: Palworld
If you are in the gaming world, I don't know how you could have avoided this one in the past week. It's BLOWN UP. Broken concurrent users records left and rights. Millions of copies sold. And I will be shocked if they are still in business in six months. Not because it's a bad game. It's not. I usually avoid… Continue reading Review: Palworld
Streaming vs Analog
My husband and I regularly buy dvds and blue-rays. Still. For a simple reason: ownership. An Ubisoft executive recently said gamers need to get "comfortable not owning games."https://www.cbr.com/ubisoft-gamers-comfortable-not-owning-games/. I haven't heard anyone defending this stance. Specifically, Ubisoft is saying that everyone will/should need subscriptions to play games. I am firmly against this idea. I watched Linus (Linus Tech… Continue reading Streaming vs Analog
Review: Ark: Survival Evolved
Steam says I have had Ark: Survival Evolved running for 1,855 hours. Hours. Now, that number is true. That is NOT how long I have played. Ark is a long, slow load. So there were plenty of times I would launch it, then walk away and take a shower or make dinner or go to… Continue reading Review: Ark: Survival Evolved
Review: Baulder’s Gate 3
I asked my husband to give me an early birthday present: Baulder's Gate 3. He said he was surprised I hadn't pre-ordered. I stuck my tongue out at him because it was the most mature response I had. I haven't had a tabletop game all year. The only regular game I had kept hitting bumps… Continue reading Review: Baulder’s Gate 3
I have recently started listening to Dungeons & Daddies. I have historically disdained watching (or listening) to other people playing rpgs. It just makes me want to play. But I currently don't have any regular games I'm part of. I have something of a gap in my gaming life and this podcast is giving me… Continue reading
Gaming: Space Building Games
I love building games. From SimsStuff (anything, not just the dollhouse game), Tycoon Games, Minecraft, Subnautica, Ark, Rimworld, and Terraria (better known games) to the more obscure titles like Banished, Stonehearth, Planet Nomads (my current play), and Embark. If I can build I've probably at least watched a YouTuber play it. It very well might… Continue reading Gaming: Space Building Games
Review: Plague, Inc.’s DLC The Cure
There is a video game called Plague, Inc. which was released in 2016. The description on the steam page is: Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero' - now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself. Plague… Continue reading Review: Plague, Inc.’s DLC The Cure
Review: Early Access Games
There has been a been hullabaloo in the gaming world lately over "Early Access Games." This is really on the tails of a larger conversation of "unfinished releases" which are more and more common. Just go watch some early reviews of Fallout 76 or Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 - and their "day-one-patches" which are… Continue reading Review: Early Access Games
Writing: Fixing Clue
This game has a huge plot hole that has always bothered me. IF I am the murderer, why would I be helping solve the murder? Theoretically, my "character" knows they committed murder - but I, the player, do not (unless the rare time you get your own card at the beginning and know you're innocent) Clue,… Continue reading Writing: Fixing Clue
