Wanting Everything I am Paying For – Xbox Series and Game Pass Ultimate

Scopique November 8, 2020

I hate to open this way, but I feel that I must establish a baseline by reiterating that I am “not a console person”. I say I am reticent to state this because I am tired of the constant “us versus them”…

Interstellar Rift – Starter Ship Management

Scopique November 6, 2020

Permission to Come Aboard After we started the new game in the station, we need to take a teleporter to our starter ship. We can move between ships or station and ship by selecting the destination from the teleporter’s terminal, and then…

Interstellar Rift – A New Game and Station Services

Scopique November 6, 2020

The first order of business in a new game of Interstellar Rift is to choose a faction. As with a lot of games out there, factions have rep which can be earned by taking missions offered by or for that faction. In…

Interstellar Rift – Overview Series

Scopique November 6, 2020

I’m going to be switching things up going forward here on the ol’ Internet shingle, starting with a new-to-me game called Interstellar Rift. I had received some appreciative feedback on my series of posts focusing on the mechanics of Stellar Tactics, so…

Star Wars Squadrons – Campaign

Scopique October 5, 2020

This is going to be really awkward, because all of the screenshots I remembered to take of this game were taken in VR mode, which means they look like crap in part because on a flat screen, seeing what I see results…

Neck and Neck: Elite Dangerous Odyssey and Star Citizen Development

Scopique October 2, 2020

Obsidian Ant is to Elite Dangerous what BoredGamer is to Star Citizen. His videos are always on the leading edge of what’s going on with Elite, so I was very happy to see this update on Frontier’s upcoming “walking in stations” expansion,…

Goodbye, Armistice Zones

Scopique September 18, 2020

In Star Citizen, CIG has instituted “armistice zones” around important places where players spawn or otherwise visit for mission, trading, or mining purposes. These places include Port Olisar (the original spawn point for the game), stations in various orbits, several outposts on…

Well, I’m Done!

Scopique September 2, 2020

You are looking at the new High King of Ireland! Granddad would be so proud! But let’s back up a bit. Being a pre-teen ruler isn’t easy since everyone sees you as a pushover. Remember that childhood bully, Cobflaith? She was still…
