random bits

Well I'm still riding a giddy high after watching the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special so there won't be much coherence here today either. Utterly barmy and bonkers but the crazyness was kept to the usual high standard so that's alright by me. But wait where's the videogame content in this blog entry?

Ah here it is. Restarted my adventures in XCOM last night but I'm half-heartedly multi-tasking between that and Assassin's Creed 3 for the time being. Yes Assassin's Creed, those beautifully fluid free running murder simulators that are almost but never quite undone by the utter bollocks that is its ongoing ephemeral dream-like trek through history slash genetic memory slash whatever.

Highly expect this series will collapse under its own nonsense eventually but as far as its third (fifth?) go-around is concerned it works. Still, can't shift the feeling it's going through the motions, a death by franchise if you will. Really I'm storming through it on my way to the gaming nirvana that is XCOM. Should be playing it right now but I'm rewatching Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, where men shoot guns at guns. Why? Because reasons that's why.

save the save game

Due to a miscalculation on my part, tonight's update will be nothing short of epic. No wait that's wrong, what I meant to say was that it'll be more short than epic. Had an evening of casual larks and drinks over Battlefield 4 last night and I've spent most of today recovering from it. The drinks that is, as opposed to the Battlefield 4.

a crowbar of inspiration

Better late than this. Flying starts? Hate them. If this blog could be conceived of as a train of thought then it derailed somewhere between fuck and fuck all. Inappropriate metaphor there, the train. It implies forward motion, a ceaseless drive for perpetual progress at the behest of a cerebral surge towards wisdom, reason and shit. But this? Less a train more a train crash of thought really, a car wreck of ideas, a bungalow of deceit, a tenuous metaphor of metaphors etcetera etcetera. So I failed to press play in my brain more often these past few months, my bad. Various events conspired to mercifully keep me from your screen but staying entirely, dubiously, suspiciously yet convincingly on-topic I'll stick to what I know best...

hot screenshot action #1

Happy November all! It's that special time of year where everything gets cold, sparkly and barren. Crispy leaves on the ground, a bite in the air and a wellspring of reflection as the year comes to a close. Naturally my thoughts turn to my year in gaming and soon there will be my third annual retrospective of everything I've played this year. I know, I know you're excited dear conception of a reader but for now I feel like sharing a screenshot or three from a game I played a few months ago but haven't really talked about around these here parts.
