GPT (Gaming, Production, & Tech) Journal – Wednesday, 21 Feb 2024

Downloaded and got started in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden on the Xbox Series X. It’s a fun romp. Combat isn’t too visceral, but then I wouldn’t expect super high end combat chops from Don’t Nod. Story-wise, which is absolutely where they live, it’s pretty dope. I still have a lot more to see, butContinue reading “GPT (Gaming, Production, & Tech) Journal – Wednesday, 21 Feb 2024”

GPT (Gaming, Production, & Tech) Journal – Monday, 19 Feb 2024

Gaming Journal (early evening): got a couple of sessions of CoDMWIII (PC) in btn last night and today on the box with the 7800X3d+4080. Can’t say enough how I’m loving the map rotation in Season 2, although voting sometimes swerves maps away (no one is voting for Breenbergh Hotel, LoL), which sometimes makes it justContinue reading “GPT (Gaming, Production, & Tech) Journal – Monday, 19 Feb 2024”

Has Building PCs Gotten Boring? A Look Back at Where We Were

Last night on the first episode of Rounding Off Infinity – Talking About Games, an audience member asked me how I got to running multiple PCs in the studio / lab. As I’ve been walking back through that history over the last 24 hours, mentality putting together the script to convey that story, it struckContinue reading “Has Building PCs Gotten Boring?

You Buying Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Shouldn’t Have Anything to Do with Bloomberg. Or XBox

Let’s start with that should be the obvious. No one should pay attention to anything Jason Schreier writes. He’s a man-baby that blocks anyone who asks him a question on Twitter, was speaking up in defense of Andrew Tate, has never written a line of code in his life, and has no domain expertise inContinue reading “You Buying Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Shouldn’t Have Anything to Do with Bloomberg.

Of Game Lengths: Light or Endless; it’s the In-Between I Don’t Care for

I Like My games Skinny or Thicc, but nothing in-between. Spider-Man 2’s campaign is supposedly only 15 – 20 hours. And yet the traversable and playable city geographic area is almost twice the size of the first game’s map. And you can play as both Peter and Miles. What this translates to me is whatContinue reading “Of Game Lengths: Light or Endless; it’s the In-Between I Don’t Care for”

Dark Winds, S2E1- NA’NIŁKAADII: Review; the Show’s Success Was Its Own Petard; We Hope it Changes

Dark Winds is a great TV show. And therein lies its problem. Were the show less of a critical success, then enjoying it might not feel so problematic. I’m still, in truth, untying a lot of my understanding of the social controversy and the feelings that Indians have over the show. Their reception of itContinue reading “Dark Winds, S2E1- NA’NIŁKAADII: Review; the Show’s Success Was Its Own Petard; We Hope it Changes”
