September Video Games Report
Vertical Drop Heroes HD (2 hours): I continued to be addicted to this little rogue-like. I’m getting pretty close to level 10 and the hinted reveal. Civilization III (2 hours): It came a bit later than I wanted it to, but I started playing Civ III in an attempt to play Civs III-VI between the…

August Video Games Report
Civilization V (2 hrs) A few more turns in our multi-player games. Team Fortress 2 (2 hrs) I decided to play a little more and work on creating an overlay that allows the game to be full screen while also still presenting my Extra Life information. After a of couple tries, I like where it…

May 2016 Video Games Report
Civilization V (8 hours): I started off playing the same multi-player games we’ve been playing for years now. Then I heard Civ VI comes out this year and so that inspired me to play a solo game. Contraption Maker (1 hour): I started off just intending to check out this this game. Then Scarlett saw…

April 2016 Video Games
In April I took a break from playing so many games to focus on comics and books. But I still go some play time in. Civilization V (1 hour): Cook Serve Delicious (30 minutes): I just wanted to test how well it would work on my Linux computer with Steam Big Picture. For some weird…

March Video Games
Spelunky! (5 hours): Proving the worth of Let’s Play videos to anyone on the publishing side who still doesn’t believe, when Dan first told me about Spelunky! it didn’t sound like something I’d enjoy. When I got around to watching Dan’s Let’s Play videos, I decided it was indeed something I’d enjoy. Five hours later….I’m…

February Video Games Report
XCOM: Enemy Within (17 hours): By the time I was done with February I was nearly done with XCOM: Enemy Within. It was a fun revisit of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but I think I’m done for a while. That’s a good thing since I hear that XCOM 2 has some beefy PC and graphics card…

January 2016 Video Games
Because I’ve staggered the publishing of new videos on Youtube, not all of them may be visible on the embeds in this blog post on the day it goes live. For example, I think I created 14 videos for Torchlight in January, but at the moment only 11 are live. Torchlight (23 hours): I decide…

2015 Video Games Report and Game of the Year
2015 turned out to be an incredible year for videos games for me. That’s a good thing because I was playing for the Extra Life charity to raise money for Johns Hopkins. I’d heard about it when the Giant Bomb guys spoke about it, but this year I had a reason – Johns Hopkins had…

October Video Games
Team Fortress 2 (33 hours): I’m a seasonal Team Fortress 2 player. Although I play it here and there at any time of year, I tend to really play a lot during October for the special Halloween missions. This year Valve was busy working on a new mode that was released earlier this week so…

September 2015 Video Games Report
The Witcher ( 2 hours): Yeah, so the first video I recorded in September is missing the video game footage. Whoops! Either way, I finished The Witcher this month. As I’m sure I’ve mentioned, this is another game I tried thanks to the Giant Bomb guys – specifically Vinnie. I thought the game was overall…

August 2015 Video Games Report
Civilization 5 (14 hours): Dan and Dave finally started playing their multiplayer turns again. YAY! The Witcher (14 hour): Finally was able to find some uninterrupted gaming time. Here’s the video! If you’re interested in watching, it goes from session 25 through 40 (or more if I forget to update this section before I publish)…

April 2015 Video Games Report
Although I didn’t play as much on average, I did take advantage of one weekend to do a mini marathon in my Extra Life playing. It led to my biggest donation yet! The Witcher (17 hours) I’m still having fun playing this game, mostly due to the great dialogue writing. I’m at a point in…

Video Games Report March 2014
The Witcher (15 hours) Assassin’s Creed was the first game series Vinnie of Giant Bomb convinced me to try by talking about it endlessly on the Bombcast. The Witcher is the second. (This is why I miss his voice on that podcast so much) It has turned out to be a lot more fun than…

February Video Games
Civilization V (30 minutes) – We got a few turns in our multiplayer games, but other important things (like planning weddings, perhaps) have kept my brothers from sending me new turns. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+ (38 minutes) – I got it as part of a Humble Bundle because eventually my PS3 will die or be…

January Video Games Report
Civilization: Beyond Earth (7 hrs): This game was a great evolution on Civ V. I enjoyed that they continued with the same sense of humor. I also thought they did a good job evolving things so that it felt different enough. It’ll probably take a few games before I get the hang of all the…
