Astrox Imperium Revisited

Scopique May 20, 2020

I feel that I need to issue a follow-up to my initial impression of Astrox Imperium. I have since jumped in a few times to continue my playthrough, although I have to admit that it was increasing difficult to want to do…

Stellar Tactics

Scopique May 20, 2020

After my post on Astrox Imperium was published, I got a Tweet from The Uncanny @Dusty_Monk. Dusty_Monk and I have talked about our shared love of sci-fi games, and I’m pleased to have been thought of when 4robertanderson and he stumbled upon…

EVE Offline – Astrox Imperium

Scopique May 15, 2020

Last night after Steam rebooted itself for an update, I decided to look through the front page because I hadn’t for quite a while. I’m currently on a Citadel: Forged With Fire kick (with some co-op The Division 2 thrown in on…

A New Tradewars Server

Our Opinions Matter: Consumers and Corporate Bickering

Scopique March 5, 2020

Weekend Update, 2020 Leap Day Edition

Scopique March 2, 2020

Construction Zone During the reconstruction of our first-floor, the bulk of items that needed to be “out of the way” went to one of three places: the garage, the supposed “three season porch”, or the basement. Being in the Northeast, anything that…

The Anvil Carrack

Scopique February 24, 2020

I feel that it’s a little difficult to impart exactly how big a deal the release of the Anvil Carrack is to the Star Citizen community if you are not a part of that community. I don’t say that with an air…
