Doom (2016) This month I finally got around to picking up Doom for the PS4 after playing the demo. Hard to believe that I left it for so long; I’ve had heaps of fun, loving the simple run an gun format, and exploring the maps Bethesda have put together so well.

After nearly 5 weeks of playing Elite Dangerous, over the course of over 3 years, CMDR BadKitty has finally made it to Elite status 🙂 During this time I had an epiphany that the game was such a time sink that I picked up playing guitar, and we had Player 3 join our family; that has curbed my play time quite a bit, no loss to the joy he brings…

I rushed out and picked up a new graphics card (Radeon RX 480) and a 256 Gig Samsung SSD so I could play the game with ease. That’s when the trouble began! I found I couldn’t migrate Win7 easily off a partition on a 2TB HD to the…

Things I’m playing with over the Xmas NY break 🙂 installed KDE desktop, not sure why I haven’t tried it before, although I did try Mate a few weeks ago that I can’t get to work correctly excited about season 2 of Street Fighter V I’ve reinstalled it on the PS4, and I’m more frustrated and annoyed by Capcom’s servers than ever repetatively the server connection keeps dropping, the only…

I’ve just had a revelation! Dark Souls is just like Elite:Dangerous, except you exchange credits for souls Might sound a simple concept, but it’s quite profound to me ATM, and the key to a compelling game 🙂
