Playing a variety of games from my back catalogue; although I’ve wanted to pick up Doom and Persona 5, I’m resisting for just now. So what has been taking up my time… When games are more of an experience As Shadow of the Colossus is due out in the next week I thought I’d make a concerted effort to finish The Last Guardian Not sure why I stopped playing… actually…

So excited, I managed to reserve a Mini SNES, should have it tomorrow 🙂 Looking forward to introducing the boy to all of the classics I loved as a kid, and from what I’ve read (Reddit.com/MiniSNES) Nintendo left it open to load ROMS onto it, as with the mini NES… so many games to play!

Yesterday I fucked up… a little I’ve been playing with a Python script to re-arrange the films in my movie directory; it moves everything of a selected file type from directory and sub-directory to a selected directory. Useful eh? Thought I might use it to group all of my photos too. Last night I ran it on a drives root directory for all *.txt files. Let me rephrase that, I…

I got thinking after my last post of why I chose Unity, and could Python be an option as a language to build games? I have much more need for Python on a daily basis… although I’m currently limited to ver 2.7 at work, I do use it for the current Feed2Twitter Raspberry Pi setup. So for the past few days I’ve been digging around searching for material and tutorials…
I’ve a couple of ideas for simple games, and after doing a little research decided on giving Unity a try as a platform, and C# as a language. I was reluctant at first as I found I could only get it to work on Windows… in hindsight I could have probably used a Virtual Box, or even Wine, but there’s still time to change. Python was my first choice, although…

I’m a huge fan of this game! Perhaps the deciding factor why I picked up a PS3 was to play the last remastered version. The locations and bosses are recognisable in the video below, it looks honest to the original. Will I pick it up? Shit yeah Will it go on a pile with the other unfinished titles?

A must see for any Street Fighter fans, a great summary of the characters back story, much better than the original live action movie… less said about that the better 🙂 https://youtu.be/Pc8AiMZ9pNc

I downloaded Sleeping Dogs for the PS4, 10 bucks for an awesome GotY title. Think I actually prefer the shooting / combat mechanics to GTAV Still haven’t given The Z a test drive I’ve been playing with one of my Raspberry Pi’s; have an headless installation of Raspian running: Jessie Lite. Currently setup a twitter feed (GamerGeekNews) from some of my favourite sites and am looking for other ideas. Here’re…
My Dark Souls 3 journey continued over a few sessions failed fighting Yhorm many times… as with any From boss, decided to have a look around worked through the Profaned Capital, and managed to collect Elonora and the Court Sorcerer’s Staff was killed while freeing Karla, so no dark sorcery for me on this play through, so I spent a pale tongue focusing on Str over Int only fighting Yhorm after I…

This past week I’ve picked up Just Cause 3 again, and I can’t remember why I stopped playing… although I guess it was due to other games turning up. I’m enjoying the mindless destruction and playable controls, not involved in the story or plot, just liberating an Italian coastal zone. I’ve been playing with TuxGuitar: Sourceforge free, open source tablature editor, which includes features such as tablature editing, score editing,…

Details here from Arstechnica of what went down By the time I’d logged on in my timezone everything had already happened, but this event was a big motivation for me to get my ship up to some sort of standard, or at least begin the journey. By grinding a few lucrative trade loops, a couple of rare circuits, and building up a relationship with the engineer Felicity Farseer, I’ve accumulated…
