Do you ever feel like a one-man army, alone against the world?

Hoyle's Book of Games was epic, btw. I played hearts against Larry, Roger, and Graham for HOURS.

nah. i feel like a guy who's enjoying some gaming and letting folks in to see what i'm appreciating ;)

hoyle's was a /lot/ of fun. i dread doing it now, because it's been a /long/ time for me, but this is how i learned to play cribbage. i used to be passably ok at it, but the test games i ran when i was setting up to to do this were...not very good. i lost to king graham ;) a lot.

thank you so much for watching.
i completely appreciate that. thank you so much for the subscription and for watching.

did you want mind-melting puzzles on your friday night? yes? well, i can supply!

and boy, can i ever.

ittle dew goes a little off the rails in terms of FLATOUT CRAZY PUZZLES towards the end of the game in the master cave. i tackle the first half this week:

this week in around the campfire, i talk a little bit about why i'm a pc enthusiast and have never bought a console in my life.

more crazy master cave shenanigans this week in ittle dew as the caves themselves ramp up in silliness.

i clear out caves 7-12.

hey, i hit the end of a pile of cards in solitaire!

what's this button here do?!

oh. whoops. that's the RETIRE button. not the FLIP STACK button.

those two words look ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME. RIGHT?! right.

anyhow, long story short, you get to watch a hilarious collection of failure on my behalf in hoyle's this week:

this week's edition of "around the campfire" explores my history with online gaming and how i came to that.

i talk a little about the past - how it was difficult to connect to and pay for that sort of thing and how that's all changed. you can watch the video here:

it's ittle dew time!

and we kill some fish.

on a friday. it's awkward, because i'm an ex-catholic ;)

anyhow, the master cave is done. now all that remains is the rest of the castle.

if you've ever wondered why the mainstay of my channel is sierra games, allow me to answer that question - and a little more in this week's "around the campfire.":

merry christmas, everyone :)

i figured we'd look at another of the sierra christmas cards that they made between 1986 and 1993 or so. this is the 1988 version. nicer graphics and beautiful sounds, but many of the same scenes as the agi one from 1986 or so.

none-the-less, it's an interesting comparison between the earlier card and this later one.

enjoy. and i hope santa got everyone what they wanted :)

i spend a fair amount of time blundering around the castle, mopping up after myself in ittle dew, this week. somehow, i've missed a heart somewhere. but i'm sure i'll find it :P

what'd you say cedric?!
say it again!
and again!
and again!

yeah. it's that time. we're finally playing king's quest 5. ;)

this is just the introduction for right now.
