No Man’s Sky released today

I’m one of the peeps who kept their hype levels regulated in this whole debacle.

Might do a first impressions + review later on, as well as a commentary on the whole situation.

Personally, I feel like NMS is the total conceptual opposite of Undertale in terms of how the release went down.

Got a chance to play Dark Souls 3 for like half an hour.

I’m glad to say my first death was actually to a random enemy during a White Phantom support.

I’m sad to say my playthrough was ended by a CTD followed by a computer hang.

Ah well, time to /actually/ finish that artwork for Mythical Monday

Been getting back into Planetary Annihilation lately, specifically the TITANS expansion.

I’d been following the game from the start (and unfortunately saw the fallout the company had with its backers) but the final game still is something to behold.

I mean in what other game can you have conflicts going on 5 different planets at once, and end a game by smashing planets together or firing a giant space laser (or keeping a foothold on an enemy planet juuust long enough so your Planet-destroying bomb arms and you GTFO)

Despite all the BS it got and went through, the final game still gives me hope that there’s ways to expand on genres in ways we’ve never touched before.

On an unrelated note, Space Engineers with mods is hella fun

I one day hope for its netcode to not be horrifying so I can set up some kinda faction wars

The game Space Engineers really does give off the vibe of being an interstellar Space Trucker when you don’t yet have warp drives.

It’s fascinating how the dynamic changes as the game progresses, though.

From heaped together scrapships to sleek and expensive fightercraft,

always competing for resources and on the move.

EDIT: However... setting yourself adrift on the way to an asteroid and tabbing out isn’t recommended. Goodbye, starship.

(They Are) Legion

Blizzard announced the next expansion and with baited breath i’m sure many of you reading this also watched the announcement trailer as did I.

I’ll be honest. I’m excited. As in, blown away excited. Blizzard is really trying, and that’s a good thing. They’re pulling out all the stops and reaching far back into the pot of “Things we haven’t addressed since that one awkward High School Reunion”.

Of course, There are very polarizing opinions on this. With millions of fans who all have their own ideas as to what World of Warcraft is “Supposed” to be, this is natural. As far as I can understand people who are fed up and  who think this a cheap blow, There is nothing more vastly scattered than the opinions of Warcraft fans thinking of what’s best for the game and their experience playing it.

I can understand all opinions, good and bad, of Legion, the new expansion.

I just don’t understand the flippant remarks that are repeated with every single expansion since Wrath.
