Time to Loot – Finding fun in loot and adventure

Shadowlands is here. And as much as my thumb and work have allowed, I’ve jumped in to check it out this evening. What seems like an age ago now (but was really just the 6th of this month) I was pondering whether Shadowlands was over for me...

Five Game Challenge Day 20: Typing One-Handed

by Naithin | Nov 20, 2020 | Other | 2

Welp… In a case of good news / bad news… It has become even easier to avoid playing things outside of my list. But that’s because I may not be playing anything for a bit. Or posting much for a bit. Managed to give myself a fairly...

Five Game Challenge Day 19: Giants Riding Dragons

by Naithin | Nov 19, 2020 | Skyrim | 2

I almost didn’t notice at first. But that Dragon is being ridden by a Giant. I just happened to be able to snap off this shot because I’d opened the favourites menu to switch to bow, with the odd pair just sort of… right there in...

Five Game Challenge Day 18: Bleary Eyed

by Naithin | Nov 18, 2020 | Gaming | 0

*blinks* Wha- What time is it? Why are you guys here in my bedroom? Oh boy. I’m really not ready for this. *rubs eyes* Right. Um. I might have some leftovers from the other night’s RimWorld play around here somewhere… Oh. No? I...

Five Game Challenge Day 17: Val’Danaar Takes Shape (RimWorld)

by Naithin | Nov 17, 2020 | Other Games | 0

Probably a bit of a quicker update tonight. Left it perhaps a little later than is advisable to start writing. Given that, really, I should be heading to bed now. Anywho! Roughly where we left things last night. So yes. Carrying on from yesterday....

Five Game Challenge Day 16: Starting a RimWorld Colony

by Naithin | Nov 16, 2020 | Other Games | 0

Don’t worry — I can in fact count. I know Day 15 is missing. But that’s because I actually did miss it unfortunately. Went to sleep pretty early yesterday as I wasn’t feeling particularly well. Just hayfever kicking my butt...

Five Game Challenge Day 14: Nioh 2 PC is a Thing

by Naithin | Nov 14, 2020 | Other Games | 2

And also for PS5, if that’s your preference. Nioh 1 and Nioh 2 will both be ‘remastered’ for the next gen. I use quotes because I’m currently skeptical around their use of the term. Demon’s Souls is a remaster....

Five Game Challenge Day 13: Looking Back to Last Year

by Naithin | Nov 13, 2020 | Gaming | 0

I don’t remember this thing being so difficult last year. I really don’t. I’ve talked a little already about one element increasing difficulty this year: The release of new titles I’m *very* interested in. But I’m...

Five Game Challenge Day 12: Keeping on the Path #2

by Naithin | Nov 12, 2020 | Godfall | 2

Today, was Godfall day. I haven’t looked at a great many reviews, but the metacritic score is sitting at 61% as of time of writing (for the PS5 version at least, at time of writing there aren’t enough reviews for the PC version to even...

Five Game Challenge – Day 11: Keeping on the Path

by Naithin | Nov 11, 2020 | Skyrim | 2

Amended title: Keeping on the path mostly. I launched Valhalla. So far as the menus. I took a look at the configuration. Went so far as to run a benchmark. (Incidentally, the Ubisoft Benchmark tools in Watch Dogs Legion and Valhalla actually...

Five Game Challenge – Day 10: Looking Forward #1

by Naithin | Nov 10, 2020 | Assassin's Creed, Other Games | 2

Last year during the Five Game Challenge, every week or so, I posted a ‘Looking Forward’ piece that aimed to identify the games that were in or entering my sphere of awareness that threatened to knock me off the path of the challenge...

Five Game Challenge – Day 9: Keeping Track of the Action

by Naithin | Nov 9, 2020 | Skyrim | 6

I’ve kind of done a lot in Skyrim since the last post. Yes. I know that last post was only yesterday. Sort of. I had written it the day before though, whereas now I’m back to writing for the day. So a lot of time has passed, and some of...

Five Game Challenge – Day 8: Poor Lydia

by Naithin | Nov 8, 2020 | Skyrim | 2

The body above there isn’t Lydia. But I probably should’ve taken it as an omen of things to come. I mean… There is weapon jutting out of his chest. And he is really quite dead. Presumably the two things are linked. In any case, I...

Humble Choice: November 2020 (Five Game Challenge – Day 7)

by Naithin | Nov 7, 2020 | Humble Monthly | 0

Another bundle, another month, another ‘limited time’ offer to pick-up all twelve games in the bundle if you’re a Classic or Premium subscriber. Last month, for the first time in a while, there were some titles I was actually...
