Right, I'm going to try and write one post per week, actually writing about games I'm playing (viedogames, boardgames, and tabletop games) rather than simply listing them!
This week, I have played a little more of Mark Of The Ninja - finally reached the next level/chapter And I played some of 1954 Alcatraz early in the week - Controlling Joe, I now have him in the infirmary area, where i've managed to get out of the hospital cell and acquire a bunch of various items from the nearby area. Mostly this week, though, I've been playing Max Payne 3, in which I finished the stadium level/chapter and the bar level/chapter, and am now someway through the following level (which is hot onthe tail of the kidnappers) And also I've played quite a bit on Goodbye Deponia, having now reached the point where Rufus gets thrown off the Organon ship and lands on the junk press. I've managed to do all this this past week without having to look up even just a hint! So I'm feeling quite proud of myself for that =+)
Well, i took a break from gaming over Christmas + just into the new year. Since then, i have done some PC gaming as well as online boardgaming, plus one solo, 4-player game of Endeavor: Age Of Sail (without the expansions though) On the PC side, i've been focusing on Max Payne 3 (now onto chapter 12, part 3) and Goodbye Deponia (managing to progress, slowly, without needing to resort to a walkthrough) Online the boardgaming sessions i've attended have varied in the games played - including Kingdomino (i won!), Cacao, a co-op card game called The Crew, and a few others. In fact tonight we played 5-player Stone Age, with some of the expansions (the jewels resource and extra civ card space that comes with it, plus the trading level) which i managed to win, by quite a margin in the end (my end-of-game score was 152!)
Oh well, another week skipped! I've had numerous non-gaming things going on during December. However on the 15th, i did manage to make it to the Grantham Friendly Gamers' last gathering of the year! This one was at Ropsley Village Hall, actually a short way out of Grantham. I took part in a small-scale (5 players total) Draft tournament of Star Wars: Destiny. THis wasn't my morning - I lost both games of it I played! Although the second one was close (I was only 2 damage away from killing my opponent's last character) I also had time to fit in a game of Sagrada. Well this really wasn't my day, I thought I did OK at it but fell to last place out of 6 players! I have also managed to do a little bit of PC gaming - a short run on Borderlands, and also on Geneforge 1
