Excellent NPC's

I’ve recently started playing Guardians of the Galaxy and I’m loving the banter between the various team mates. The dialogue is so well done, you really get a feel for the dynamics of the group. It reminded of how much I enjoyed the dynamic of your NPC squadmates in the excellent Republic Commando. Each member had their quirks, both in terms of the story and dialogue and in terms of gameplay. You start to care about your squadmates. I’ve often felt that this is one of the strong points of gami…

Here’s my topic for this week. I’ll look at doing an article again next week.

If you could only listen to 5 albums forever what would it be?

Just pretend that all streaming services died and no more radios, and CD players. You only have 5 albums of storage space on your listening device. What are your 5 albums going to be, for the remainder of your life? ( I will allow greatest hits) In no particular order: Dear Agony - Breaking Benjamin - this is the one band I want to see live [Breaking Benjamín - Dear Agony (Full Album)] Hydrograd - Stone Sour - I can’t just pick one Minutes to Midnight - Linkin Par…

Not a good week for me last week, managed to fail on all accounts

Hopefully this one will be better

[czc]

Didn’t get a chance to do an article or topic last week either. Assignment time and heavy work load.

Sorry I’m so late. Will get to this this afternoon.

Article:

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed - Who You Gonna Call?

Topic:

Got a ghost story?

Doing a Ghostbusters article and was talking about ghosts with Kid Redd while we sat in the dark last night waiting for Eskom to turn the lights back on. Got to wondering if anyone has had a personal ghost experience at all? Or know of a ghost story that you can share? Ever had the feeling that you’re not alone, being visited and watched by a ghost? Failing a personal connection - share any good ghost stories that you do have.

[Solitude]

Will update this later today.

Make it tomorrow morning.

Lost in Random

Thanks to Game Pass and its included EA Play I’ve started playing quite a unique game: Lost in Random [image] Once again, I was lured in by the game’s aesthetic. Self-described as a gothic fantasy setting, the game evokes all the best kind of Burtonesque and American Mcgee’s Alice kind of vibes. I’ve always been a sucker for that. Another highlight is the voice acting. The British accents perfectly fit the quirky characters along the way. The concept of rolling the dice extends from the com…

At least a topic for last week 18 - 24 April:

No Water or No Power

In my situation, no water is much simpler to manage. I haven’t had water since the 12th. If I had no power, I still wouldn’t have hot showers, dishwasher, washing machine, and the stuff in the freezer would be ruined. I’d also be really really bored.
