Steel Seed caught a lot of people’s eyes from the 2024 PC Gaming Show due to its traversal and combat mechanics, which remind many of a mix between Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor and Uncharted. But what got my attention was the level design. Clips we have seen have protagonist Zoe traversing through a hulking steamworks facilityContinue reading “GameWatch Update – Steel Seed”

GameWatch Update – Starship Troopers: Extermination
I added Starship Troopers: Extermination (commonly referred to by its players as STE) to my watchlist after seeing the presentation for the 0.8.0 update during the Future Games Show. The Future Games Show was Saturday evening (eastern time) after the main Summer Game Fest (SGF) keynote of Friday, June 7th. I had a total ofContinue reading “GameWatch Update – Starship Troopers: Extermination”
Gamer’s Log, Gamerdate 77808.7
Recorded the latest episode of TAG (Talking About Games) last Friday. Episode #10 covered the recent departure of Horizon Call of the Mountain’s Game Director, and I covered the lineage of Firesprite and their relationship with Sony Interactive Entertainment. Additional topics included a Star Wars competitive multiplayer title that has been flying under the radarContinue reading “Gamer’s Log, Gamerdate 77808.7”
Gamer’s Log, Gamerdate 77788.3
Planned out the next few weeks of Let’s Play videos to shoot. The plan is super-simple, but gives me a production outlook for the next three weeks. Designated studio hardware for that setup. I’ll be over on Battlestation 2; the box that I built in early 2022, powered by an Intel Alder Lake Core i7.Continue reading “Gamer’s Log, Gamerdate 77788.3”
Gamer’s Log – Gamerdate 77758.3
Gamer anxiety and guilt kicked in once again. And so once again, I changed up the algorithm that drives what I play each day and night. I won’t get into its complexity. The aforementioned personality defects combined with OCD lead to a quite overly-complicated ruleset. Let’s skate by that and discuss what went down. IContinue reading “Gamer’s Log – Gamerdate 77758.3”

I bought Unicorn Overlord on PS5 this week and started playing it. I like it. Don’t love it. Yet. Like, I don’t not love it due to any negative. It just doesn’t have me all warm down in me nibblets just yet. It might get there. Figuring out it was an Auto-Battler was a bitContinue reading “Gamer’s Log – Gamerdate 77748.3”
Tech Log – Date 77718.5
Returning from Spring Break today, and, truth be told, despite bringing copious mobile gaming gear, I hardly gamed at all. I’ve got some trudge-work to do re-onboarding into mobile gaming on Android; I’ve probably sunk my teeth back into iOS more. The most I did was hook up my Xbox Controller and phone holder andContinue reading “Tech Log – Date 77718.5”
Gamer’s Log – GamerDate 77691.3
It took much longer for setup than I had planned, but I finally pulled off a Let’s Play last night. Got started an hour-and-a-half later than I’d anticipated 😭. The mic-arm setup in particular turned out to be problematic; not enough reach for where I’d mounted it behind the monitor. I’ll need to move itContinue reading “Gamer’s Log – GamerDate 77691.3”
Gamer’s Log – GamerDate 77681.5
Despite my best efforts, it doesn’t look like I’m going to get extra gaming in today. I took off a 1/2 day from work for some medical appointments. I was 15 minutes into my session of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (PC) when I got interrupted and had to take a call out. IContinue reading “Gamer’s Log – GamerDate 77681.5”
Gamer’s Log – GamerDate 77678.3
All of this talk of mobile devices taking over the PC and console gaming space has made me add dedicated time back into my gaming rotation to play mobile games. I want first-hand experience of how far gaming has come in 13 years since I really stopped playing on mobile as a general going concernContinue reading “Gamer’s Log – GamerDate 77678.3”
