  • Game on – what’s your favorite game?

    Full disclosure. I do like some games, but don’t often have people to play them with. But why do I like them? They can be exciting, and a way to engage time playing alone or with friends.
    You could be fighting scores of bad guys, or racing, or building a farm.


    I recently sold on my Nintendo switch as hadn’t used it in a while.
    I reckon though one of the greatest games on it for me was Hades.
    Anyone familiar with that title? It’s a rogue, story rich adventure where you plan the son of Hades and Persephone. Your mission is to fight your way out of the underworld.
    As you overcome some characters they join sides with you, others only seek to destroy. The destination at the end is worth it, but there’s a lot of baddies to meet on the way.

    Now, my desktop is quite old so doesn’t have the graphics card for some games. I mostly play Civilization 5 through Steam Powered. Anyone familiar with Civilization? You’re building a country up from the beginning of the world.

    As for board games, I am pretty good at scrabble. This is what I grew up playing a lot.
    I like more complex games too, and card games are awesome as well.
    I once played an awesome co-op game called Freedom. You play as part of the underground railroad helping slaves escape to Canada. I highly recommend it.
    But if you can do dungeons and dragons, that’s a lot of fun too.

    The best website for scrabble? Isc.ro – Internet Scrabble Club.

  • West End Live – Sunday

    So yesterday, the weather wasn’t so hot – thank God.

    I turned up and joined the queue into West End Live.

    The event was a lot of fun though I rarely got close to stage area. Thankfully there were big screens showing what was going on.

    I loved all the different acts, particularly Oliver, Titanique, Six and The Producers.

    My one to watch out for coming up will be Pop Up Michelangelo. It’s got a funky pop vibe that will bring Renaissance to a new era.

    I’m surprised they didn’t include Hadestown- but with the heat on Saturday, maybe we already were there.
