CitizenCon 2949 – Keynote

Scopique November 25, 2019

CitizenCon 2949 was this Saturday and like all good conventions started with the keynote, which this year was broken out into two sessions — one in the morning and one in the evening. Here are some of the highlights. The Bad News…

Weekend Milestone: TWO Games Completed!

Scopique November 18, 2019

With the “found money” from the sale of my father’s house, my wife and I decided that it was time to renovate the kitchen, which turned into a need to change the flooring, which morphed into a reason to repaint the first…

The Board Requires Me To Talk About The Outer Worlds

Scopique October 28, 2019

I now have about 10 hours logged in The Outer Worlds, which for me in a single-player game is a lot. I played whenever I could this weekend, and even streamed most of it, and as I write this, I wish I…

Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch

Scopique October 25, 2019

I have seen exactly zero people in my timelines talking about this, so I guess the onus falls to me. Nintendo is really hung up on peripherals and has been since they started making video games. In theory, these add-ons are added-value,…

The Upgrade Game in Star Citizen

Scopique October 23, 2019

I know I’ve said it before, but I am not a “details guy” when it comes to gaming. I contrast this to the Wooly Belghast who seems to be a Destiny savant when it comes to all of the gear which that…

Weekend Update for 10/20/19

Scopique October 21, 2019

Life right now is kind of weird. I don’t have a lot of time to spend in front of the gaming system because the Fall happens to be when a lot of social events happen in my area, and this year because…

No Man Left Behind; We’re All Wizards Now

Scopique October 17, 2019

No Man Left Behind Star Citizen continues to make headway, although not as quickly as many people would like. The recent 3.7 patch introduced several new features like caves, ship rentals, and other quality of life improvements. On its face, there’s really…

A Study of Flight Controllers

Scopique October 15, 2019

Right now I have the venerable Logitech/Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS (HOTAS stands for “hands-on throttle and stick” which is a lot less NSFW than it sounds) and I like it a lot. In Elite Dangerous, I never have to use a keyboard…

Weekend Update – 10/5/19

Scopique October 7, 2019

Destiny 2 I have been spending an OK amount of time in Destiny 2, moreso than I had previous to this weekend, and moreso than any other game this weekend. Nothing has really changed in the game for me except that I…

Space Cadet for the Weekend of 9/14/19

Scopique September 16, 2019

I have decided that I am a “space-themed game” gamer. I prefer sci-fi over fantasy in general, so it makes sense that I gravitate more towards sci-fi games than I do high-fantasy games. Generally, I believe the market backs me up in…
