Halo TV show: Episode 3, season 2

Boy, can it get worse? Probably. At least in this episode, they acknowledge that Master Chief is just a grunt, and should not have any kind of special knowledge, or privilege from Fleetcom. Like all soldiers, he should follow orders, and do what he is told. However, as seen, John can’t just help himself. He gets hunches of bad things, and his PTSD from fighting aliens seems to be all too much for him to function properly as a tool of doom. So he steals planes and makes up fake missions for his team…

Abscission – Deworming Time

Abscission is an atmospheric Lovecraftian murder mystery with the flavor of film noir detective elements sprinkled on top. Sounds good, right? Well, to a degree it is, at least in the beginning, but sadly the pacing of the game changes for the worse rather quickly. In its favor though, the mystery remains intriguing throughout.

Halo TV show season 2 – some thoughts

The first two episodes of season two of the Halo TV show have premiered, and in a sick curiosity, I had to check it out.

It seems I have played the expansions in the wrong order, as Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania came out before Monster Kingdom. It was actually Majesty 2: Kingmaker that introduced the monster faction, which is the first of the expansions. However, the difference is that they are unplayable in these and only act as an enemy faction, at least in the single-player campaigns. But the new monsters and goblins are all here, and your job is to exterminate them – among others. All fine by me!

Xenonauts 2 [Early Access] – Round Four

I said I wasn’t going to play Xenonauts 2 in Early Access (Experimental) anymore, yet, here I am. Milestone 3 was recently released, which increased the playable days from 180 to 260. However, I didn’t experience too much new stuff, unfortunately. What I did get to experience though, was the improved AI. And well…
