I started with The Light Fantastic, which is in my opinion the absolute worst place to start because you haven't got a bloody clue what happened in the first book and the introductory two books aren't really the same tone as the rest of the series. Much later, I read the graphic novel version of The Colour of Magic…

That's right, if this game goes well I'm sure there'll be enthusiasm for another :)

I'll be playing several hours of Cities: Skylines, including time on the asset editor to make a suite of road junctions based on familiar British road systems (most likely the A1/M1 and actual M1 - Britain is confusing).

I played around with the beta for PoE, and it was awfully confusing. I imagine there'll be more tutorial and tooltips in the final release, but it was just slightly too far removed from D&D to be intuitive to me right off the bat. Still, it looked beautiful!

Haven't heard any updates lately but with kickstarter it's always a gamble. Fingers crossed it's done by summer.

Try 20 years earlier.. I'm old.

They should have produced a wig for *that* hairstyle to go with the game.

I own it, I really enjoy it, but it's hard to find the time and opponent to play very often. That's why I backed the digital version on Kickstarter - soon I can play across the interwebs!

The advantages offered by time limits work against introducing new players. A game that could give individuals their own thing to do, free of advice, whilst still giving them time to make decisions would be nice. Something that insists on keeping some parts of the game secretive, but then wouldn't that require an…

The description of Golem Arcana reminds me of a magic pen I used to have as a kid, which read out parts of a book when scanned over them. Thinking back, I'm not sure how that worked in terms of the memory available back then, perhaps there was a card you inserted for each book or something. Still, it was basically…

Bizarro! Bizarro! Bizarro!

It's more renaissance than medieval.

I'll give a shout out to Four Swords, because it is just the perfect love-hate, coop-competitive game, and it's Zelda to boot. If they made an updated version of that, oh boy..

If you're wondering what to play this weekend, I suggest Civilization IV - enjoy the authoritative voice of Leonard Nimoy every time you discover a technology.

For a while back in the 20s and 30s the US govt. enforced a law that made manufacturers dye margarine pink. Big Dairy was most likely to blame.

I'll most likely be playing Factorio some more, second attempt now I know roughly what I'm doing. I'm super excited for the upcoming Cities: Skylines though, out in two weeks omg omg etc.

Sadly most of us scientists get paid to study the painfully unobvious :(

Hay, hay baby,
I wanna know,
Will you break my fall?

The best sprites were when you didn't do anything and Sonic started tapping his foot and looking at his watch. Nothing else gave him more character than the fact that he couldn't stand to be left standing, so to speak. I'm so glad they spent precious memory on that.

Fhwdgads.
