I suspect it will be a hit then. I enjoy how the story is generative rather than some of the "same old, same old" grind in the lead up to a different monster (if you even have to fight the monster).

I think I will continue playing Antichamber this weekend. I wish the map feature was a little better to help me remember where I am (or that I could look at it without leaving my location), but I get that is part of the challenge. Otherwise, I'm still hooked on FTL, which I still haven't beaten yet.

I've been trying to trade for a copy of Betrayal at House on the Hill for a while now. It can be so much fun (and greatly preferable in my mind to Arkham Horror).

I'm in a different industry now so I haven't floated in some time.

I've had some buddies play coop online and they all preferred it to the single player

Woo! Sawbuck Gamer! I'm planning to play Monaco this weekend, so starting with Nothing to Hide sounds like a great warm up.

one of those strange moments of working in IT - it isn't uncanny as it might seem to not have cell phone service but have data service. they run on different networks and, while they typically overlap, they do not always. although you are more likely to find the opposite situation where you have voice but no data.

Guillotine is a fun little filler.

That blackout mechanic sounds especially cool. Thanks for sharing about that.

Fair enough! I've never bothered with it myself.

This weekend I'll be playing LOTS OF TABLETOP GAMES. I know for certain that I'll be getting a second play of Kemet in and will be teaching Hansa Teutonica to a few friends. Beyond that, I'm uncertain what other games we'll play. Hopefully Agricola, Cavum, or Goblins, Inc.

I think you can play Twilight Struggle on VASSAL. Perhaps that can feed your desire to play online.

I've never played the India Powergrid map. That sounds really cool. How does the resource redistribution compare to US/Germany?

Except for the fact that it SPOILERS does nothing to prepare you for living in the physical world END SPOILERS

Not Jewish, so I'm uncertain but I think that was also the name of Alan Rickman's character in Dogma, who was the mouthpiece of God and an angel in that film.

While not technically a game, I've wanted to see the Glass Bead game (from Hesse's eponymous novel) realized.

If you go further into the sequels, there is a reason the game is so responsive to Ender.

Wasn't there a game where you played as Metatron that came out in the past few years? Google seems to think it was called El Shaddai.

This is why I'm interested in the game. It can be like Red Rover with a line that will definitely break.

My advice: be willing to try things. Or conversely, don't be too cool to try something or to put effort into it.
