the infinite curve


How I miss PC gaming. Can still remember saving up for a decent graphics card to play the highly anticipated behemoth that was and is Half Life 2 back in the day. Think I'm gonna make it an ambition to re-acquaint myself with PC gaming at some point in the near to mid future.

Why? It may be rose-tinted nostalgia but it just seems like a platform of more possibility than console. More potential you might say. Certain game genres don't get much of a showing on console alas, I'm looking at all the open space-based exploring, trading and blasting games out there in particular.

Not to mention that for all the advances in console tech they still remain rather closed systems tied into their particular way of doing things. Then again PC gaming is a creature of habit too. The never ending arms race that is getting the best setup only to find yourself struggling to stay ahead of the infinite curve heading ever upwards towards ever greater tech powers.

Upgrading is less of an event than it is in console gaming and there is always the risk that the games you buy won't actually run for some arcane reason but yeah I look upon my PC gaming with some possibly misplaced fondness. That said I want back in because Valve have got to get around to Half Life 3 at some point in this lifetime

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.
