Been a very busy last couple of weeks for me, doing a lot of things that are not blogging about games.  A few highlights include:Been a very busy last couple of weeks for me, doing a lot of things that are not blogging about games.  A few highlights include:

  • PAX West: I’ve had the privilege of getting PAX Prime/West tickets the last three years, and going is always fun, but I am always tired after and question if it is worth the hotel expense and the crowds.  Inevitably by the time tickets go on sale next year I have decided that it is and go on the hunt to snag them again.  I went to a lot of cool panels this year, got some free stuff, and got to play a few game demos at the booths.  It was a good trip overall.
  • Inheritance: I just got my wooden edition of Luke Crane’s LARP.  Getting the nine people I need together to play it might be a challenge, but I’ll make it happen one way or another.  If my cellphone camera wasn’t broken I would show you how nice it looks, but otherwise you’ll have to take my word for it.
  • XCOM 2: War of the Chosen: I am obsessing over this game right now, and am also very bad at it (I am playing on the highest difficulty, but I am not having much success).  I think it is debatable if this DLC is worth the price of admission, but it does add a very good amount of content to the game, and I am having fun with it.  A fun little note is that my character pool (custom soldiers that can show up in every run you do) is mostly characters from RPGs I’ve played in, both my PCs, other PCs, and notable NPCs.  Kento, Maxim, and Anya also fill out the roles of the new classes, (as a Reaper, Skirmisher, and Templar respectively).  Might add the Shepherds to my roster at some point too now that I am thinking about it.
  • Disneyland: Not really gaming related, but it was a week long trip that was keeping me from trying to really get anything to happen before then.  Loads of fun.

This week, my night classes pick up again, but once I settle into my schedule I might try to get a game of Torchbearer going with some of my IRL friends and if it goes over well actually transition into running the Gulf (which I will get back on finishing that Calendar on here shortly).
