Another distraction away from Witcher 3; I’ve acquired an acoustic guitar and Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin. Both heaps of fun, hard to believe I’ve left it so long to pick up either one of them earlier 🙂
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
24/08/2015
I was reluctant to pick up the next gen of console, cautious that there were not enough quality original titles available. True, I have have been playing ported versions of GTAV and Street Fighter IV, but the 2 games that have been impressing me lately are the 3rd part in trilogies, begun on the last generation of hardware; Batman: Arkham Knight, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I’ve still yet…
This is a sad day in the age of cloud computing, I’ve just heard that yahoo pipes is to be pulled out of commission from the end of September 🙁 I know I can pull my news feeds via different mechanisms, I already do for popular sites, but this makes me sad. Yahoo pipes is, it is still with us for now, a fantastic powerful UI, that allows a user…
PS4 Geek Fighting Gadgets
22/07/2015
Quite gutted that I can’t buy early Beta Access to Street Fighter v in my geographic area, so I have been making the most of the fighting options available for Street Fighter iv, on the PS4, with Geek Fighting Gadgets 🙂 I’ve been searching for an hard copy of SFiv for the PS4, to be told they’re not available; so reluctantly settled for the digital version… all cool but my…
Loving the embrace of Entwined
11/07/2015
This title reminds me Rez, and in turn Child of Eden; although rather than relying on the Kinect this plays on the efficiency of the left and right side of ones brain. This is a game I will keep installed to fill those brief moments when a casual game is needed. what a choice PlayStation Plus title
geek threads
08/07/2015
wish I had more time to play, although enjoying the other aspects of life 🙂 Loving Batman: Arkham Knight, the city is vast, the bat mobile is awesome, and the plot dark & trippy. Just had a quick intro to Styx: Master of Shadows.. fantastic free title from PS4 Play, I’ve paid much more for worse, although cautious the plot could be too 2 dimensional, but it takes me back…
Batman Arkham Knight
25/06/2015
I’ve been a fan of batman since my teen days, and have enjoyed each of the new video game series, so was stoked to pick up Batman Arkham Knight on the PS4. I wasn’t happy about seeing the ‘season pack’ for sale for ~$70! Guess the Call of Duty business model is working? First impressions Frame rate seems a little too fast, the moment in combat is somewhat lost Batmobile…
SlashGear: Planetside 2 online shooter launches June 23. F2P MMO FPS ???? I d don’t have much time for games currently, but this will certainly be in my download queue
I’m enjoying Mortal Kombat X, although I don’t seem to be and to activate the story mode. I’ve deleted, reinstalled, and downloaded patches (~4Gig!) 3 times, with no luck. Think it may be related to the training, although experiments are unsuccessful 🙁
Race the Sun
16/05/2015
I succumbed to a 14 day PlayStation Plus offer, Race the Sun is my first few game to try. You are a solar craft. The sun is your death timer. Hurtle towards the sunset at breakneck speed in a futile race against time. Delay the inevitable by catching energy boosts which reverse the setting sun – if only for a moment. Race The Sun is inspired by arcade games of…
use PS4 joypad on PC
19/04/2015
One of the great features of the PS4 is the new Joypad, it’s more ergonomic, and the touch pad is a work of design genius. So I was stoked to find out it could be used on the PC by following this simple guide from Make Use Of – how to use the ps4 controller on your mac or pc Now I can ditch my old Hori xbox pad for…
Bloodborne – First impressions
12/04/2015
Bloodborne’s difficulty is a refreshing change in platform open world titles, a challenge that I am enjoying after months of Elite:Dangerous. It is not that each individual encounter is hard; far from it, it is quite easy to take down a single foe. Although when this difficulty is compounded by ever enemy that you face, as the ‘save’ points as few and far between, does it become a true challenge.…
Finally succumbed to the next generation
12/04/2015
With the news of the the next Deus Ex title (Mankind Divided) being 4th Gen (7th?) only, I made the leap and picked up a PS4 this weekend; together with GTAV, and Bloodborne So why a PS4? I’m a long time Sony fanboy, even though I’ve prefered xbox live over the years to the PLaystation offering. Games I wanna play only available on the Playstation Platform: Bloodborne Final Fantasy Street…
Made it to Pratchett’s disk
10/04/2015
Finally made it to Pratchett’s disk, not too bad too wise, but trading my Clipper for a Asp I could have done it in half the jumps. On the way to HIP 74290 I was thinking that my next mission might be to Sagittarius A Star, although after arriving here, and reading that the Ankh Guards (primary occupier [Neutral]) are looking for food and non lethal weapons, I’m tempted to…
Off to find the Discworld
09/04/2015
I’ve been playing about with some python code, having creating a few (useless) Reddit bots, I might look to publish the code as sure others would like to do similar… although all my code is pretty much plagerised from a variety of different sources 🙂 So I’ve been on another break from Elite:Dangerous. Returning to Siddha I didn’t fancy trading, and the conflict zones nearby have dried up, so I’ve…
Elite: Back to Ball Dock
03/04/2015
I haven’t played Elite for a week, after the ‘Ball Dock Clipper Incident’ In exile from elite I’ve been visiting Arkham in Batman: Arkham Origins, and enjoying the change in genre and gamestyle. Finally beating Deadshot last night, I feel I’ve earned the rights to return to space trucking 🙂 My Clipper currently has a hold capacity of 240 tonnes, but due to my reduced funds, and to cover insurance…
