we take on the last bit of maraudon in world of warcraft and we also learn that there are some not-at-all benevolent folks in the world of gateway:

wow: a very fast maraudon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_fCqVrxaK4

gateway: an evil force this way comes:

finally! some questing in western plaguelands. with the most adorable druid, ever! zen'kiki, i wish we could hang out forever :)

as for gateway, well...the savant didn't tell us there'd be a maze in a text adventure game. boo savant.

wow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V951LpSIgS8

gateway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-wm4UbOPEI

in wow, we get to hang out with zen'kiki a little more, but, sadly, we have other matters to attend to, and so we do that. one of those matters is fox slaughter. booooo.

gateway has us travelling to a super scary place where death lurks everywhere. including if you don't move often enough. it's a weird kind of tension for a text adventure.

i have a public service announcement for you and a hearthstone video, here, today.

the psa deals with some issues i've been having with chronology and a false copyright claim. there are some other matters, but they're smaller by comparison. most notably: i'm removing the "most recent uploads" playlist i made a couple of years ago. if you feel strongly that you'd like me to keep it going, please feel free to let me know. my channel is as much a place for you to relax as it is a place for me to show you neat games.

hearthstone's tavern brawl is pretty meh. you do a standard game of hearthstone, but you get dealt a choice of four fates. you need to pick one and then both players "suffer that fate." this would be /way/ more interesting if the fates were more varied and if they happened more often.

king's quest 6 is here!

marvel at the amazing pre-rendered intro!

i took the four in february challenge - essentially: play four of your games from your backlog to completion during february. i failed, but i figured i should write up my experiences anyway:

if you see an elite in spore, you do what i do: you run.

[unless you've got uber-powerful dudes, of course.]:

different tactic with a spore elite:

if it's harassing someone...

...MAKE FRIENDS WITH THEM BEFORE THEY DIE!

it's montage time in spore. [well, kind of] as i trek through the island i'm on in fast-forward, collecting all the creature parts i can before we go tribal!

blog post!

having made my way through space quest 4, i do a review for it. it's not entirely positive, but then, i wasn't entirely crazy about the arcade sequences:

here's the beginnings of king's quest 6:

alexander washes ashore on an unfamiliar land and starts looking around.

magic: the gathering: duels origins pack opening!

and boy do i open lots of packs. 40 of them, to be precise. sadly, it's not particularly exciting. much like the rest of the game. :(

wizards really screwed this particular one up badly :(

why thank you.

i've mentioned - elsewhere - that i don't like the idea of just littering gog with random stuff i'm doing, so i figured i'd just keep it all in one place.

because man cannot subsist on adventure games alone, i wrote up a blog post of games i'm looking forward to in 2016:
