"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die." - H. P. Lovecraft
That's my way of saying it's been a while. I can't believe I actually kept writing this blog for so long with the hours I was putting in at work. I still put in plenty of hours at work. But I want this blog and doing videos back. And I shall have them. And I'm gonna learn basic French. But that's another story.
I come to you now to provide a basic service (provided you read this soon enough). Steam is having its summer sale. Here's what I think is worthwhile today, in order of recommendation strength.
TWD is an
adventure game (not a shooter) about a zombie apocalypse and the decisions that have to be made to survive in it. If you can stand the bleakness, it's a trip worth taking.
Faster Than Light is a Rogue-like (i.e. game where you die a lot) in space. You have a top down view of your ship and try to win / survive numerous alien encounters by telling each member of your crew where to go and what to do. And there's often a hull breach or a fire or enemies boarding your ship, so there's plenty for them to do. Plus the graphics are so simple it runs on almost anything.
Just Cause 2 is an open world shooter with a parachute and grappling hook mechanic that turns you into a kind of reverse Spider-Man with guns. The story and acting are a laughable afterthought, but
reverse Spider-Man with guns!
