Here’s what I played last week! Mel’s been sick so I haven’t gotten a lot of PC time since it’s in the basement and I want to be close in case she needs something…but I still got some gaming in. And a little streaming from the PS4!

  • Star Wars: Battlefront (PS4)
  • Just Cause 3 (PS4)

What are you guys playing?!

Shore Leave’s End and Playlist 1/4/2016

I’m back from vacation! Had a great time in Orlando and on the cruise!

We got into town Christmas night and hit up Disney’s Hollywood Studios where I rose Star Tours for the first time in my life…guys…it was amazing. We spent the whole day after at Universal to take in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. My wife nearly started crying when we walked up to the entrance at Hogsmeade, she was so happy. It was adorable. We has the multi-park pass so we got to spend a lot of time in both areas. Our Christmas to each other was this, so there was a lot of souvenir buying and stuff. It was truly amazing. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s worth the trek and you’re at least a little of a Harry Potter fan, it completely is.

I also got to drink a Flaming Moe while sitting at Moe’s Bar…

Then we got on a cruise ship the day after and stayed on it til yesterday when we disembarked and drove home. I go to work tomorrow. I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten what it is I do.

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Shore Leave and Playlist 12/21/15

I’m going to be super busy this week getting ready for a vacation from Christmas day through the the rest of the year. Not much time for gaming and less time for writing about it. So let me just say this:

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, filled with amazing people and doing everything you love doing! Thanks for stopping by here every so often and checking out what I have going on. I’m hoping for more regular content at the start of the new year. I still have a lot to accomplish in Elite: Dangerous, Horizons is out now, I’ve only just scratched the surface Star Citizens 2.0 Alpha, and there are SO MANY other space related games that I want to play and share with you!

I’m also hoping to stream more! I’ve had some great interactions in my last few impromptu streams on Twitch. My schedule makes regular, predictable streaming kind of impossible so be sure to follow me on Twitter to catch when I do go live. I’d love to have you there!

I’m also going to explore YouTube’s streaming platform to see if that’s a thing.

Until next year, Starfighters, stay frosty.

Here’s what my jam last week was.

  • Star Wars Battlefront (PS4)
  • Fallout 4 (PS4)
  • Star Citizen (PC)
  • Space Engineers (PC)

Vacation week is over! It was a really great week. I’m off this Thursday and Friday though.

I finally got the hang of dog fighting in Battlefront and started actually placing in the top 3 for my team. I also got the chance to play with a friend. Battlefront has a partner mechanic. It lets you spawn next to them if you’re playing infantry and they’re highlighted and always visible to you. The game usually just pairs you with someone random but if you have a friend in the match you can specify them as your partner. There’s no VOIP in  game but you can start up a chat party and pow…now you can talk to your wing man. And that makes a WORLD of difference. Someone on your tail you can’t shake? Call the wing man. Otherwise you’ll Porkins all over the place.

Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 released to everyone this weekend! Spent Sunday morning downloading the update. It was pretty big. I’m scared to look and see just how much space this thing is taking up already….and it’s nowhere near done. I only had time to spend an hour or so with it. I checked out the station some and then had to go back through the basic flight tutorial because man I suck. I’ll post more in depth stuff when I get more time with it. But for now it’s looking pretty sweet. I watched a bunch of twitch streamers when the Alpha first released to a limited group. It was buggy but it looked amazing.

I also owe you guys a Space Engineers post….I’m thinking of starting over cause I’m in a pretty hopeless situation and I made it a lot worse over the course of last week.

That’s it for me for now. I have a couple of things I want to write up but I have a good bit of actual work to take care of before the Holidays steal me away.

What are you playing?

Here’s what I played last week:

  • Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator (PC)
  • Elite: Dangerous (PC)
  • Star Wars: Battlefront (PS4)

Gauntlet is free for PS Plus members this month. So if you have a PS4 and a membership, pick it up and add me! We’ll do some dungeoning and shoot the food together. I’m Kameco on PSN.

I’m off all this week! Going to spend as much time as I can playing some stuff. Starting tonight with Space Engineers and I’m hoping to get a whole bunch of stuff done in Fallout 4…so it might be a quiet week here on the blog.

Stay frosty.

Here’s what I played last week!

  • Elite: Dangerous
  • Space Engineers
  • Star Citizen

 

That’s right. I now have Star Citizen. I picked up one of the discounted starter packages sold for the release anniversary.  I wasn’t able to get a lot of play time on it. I’m still working through the basic tutorial. Having a hard time getting adjusted to the control scheme and my joystick seems to be a little bit more unforgiving in SC than it is in Elite. Unless I can figure out how to configure the deadzone in SC, I might have to go keyboard and mouse for it.

Regardless, it’s a pretty gorgeous game and I’m excited seeing all the 2.0 PTU stuff that’s happened over the past week. It’s going to be huge when it’s done.

Have any questions about these games? Have a suggestion for something I should look at? Let a note in the comments!

It’s the first Playlist post!!!

I’m going to make this a weekly thing. Just a retrospective of what I’ve played over the past week. Will it be a perfect list? Probably not. I have a shit memory. But I’m making it a weekly reminder in my phone so I KNOW I’ll be updating regularly because I can’t effing stand seeing an open badge notification on my phone…

These posts won’t be limited to just space games. I’ll include everything I play here. This way, not only can  you see what other stuff I’m into, but why maybe space posts aren’t as often as they used to be.

What I played last week:

  • Star Wars: Battlefront (PS4)
    • Early Christmas present from my amazing wife!
  • Space Engineers (PC)
  • Fallout 4 (PS4)
