Lost in Austen was great and not given nearly enough credit.

Haven't you heard, AVC is latino now.

The earliest incarnation of Jadzia, Ezri et al.

I for one welcome our new Univision overlords.

The blind Mario-Maker challenge was amazing to behold. Custom designs and established runners with the added element of competition. It was glorious to watch them fail and glorious to watch them succeed, and especially entertaining to see the gotcha moments they built in.

They did accelerate girl's stretching twice I think? Otherwise they might not have made it, but calculating a sensible rate at launch was probably very hard and this provided a heart-warming crescendo to the whole thing. Much better than other player-collaborative efforts by certain well known designers.

Welcome to the fold!

Yes, even more so with CiV, since most victory conditions are rigged to only complete in the late game. Domination is the exception I guess. I hope they move away from the concept of race-to-victory in the next iteration to be honest, since it starts to make things feel artificial.

Find more time for gaming-related activities. I've got a mod I should have patched months ago, a half-written Call of Cthulhu adventure, an entire campaign of the same game I want to run. Oh wait, two entire campaigns. I run D&D weekly on the fly and ought to do more planning. I'm also keen to try streaming at least…

I found some of the cases in SH:CaP really difficult. Often I would be choosing my perpetrator on the basis of prejudicial plausibility for the era, and felt like I'd missed something, a clue or dialogue that would have shown me the right answer. It's also a big mistake to take a break in the middle of a case because…

>Take baby

This is a Call of Cthulhu adventure waiting to be written..

What speaks for the quality of the score for Fallout 4 is that I've explicitly turned off my radio when exploring to enjoy the ambience. I could listen to the two Railroad themes on repeat because they are just beautiful, atmospheric, worthy of award. Inon has really excelled himself to create something I'd listen to…

This year I enjoyed Pillars of Eternity coming to fruition. I'd contributed and had access to the beta, which I had just found confusing, but things improved for the release, and bugs have been squashed since. It's a very pretty game, with lots and lots of story for RPG addicts, great music and it definitely succeeds…

It totally is a cheat as a winter theme, but Corridors of Time is just an amazing piece. We should try to playlist once a month, with more and more obscure themes. Here's to 2016!

I'll be preparing for christmas, by which I mean I need one or two games that I can play on my struggling laptop without a decent mouse. I've got a backlog on steam but I'm still interested in recommendations!

I'll suggest 'A Snow Light' from Tales of Symphonia, a game I always seem to nominate: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Only 2 hours for an entire campaign? Surely just for one session..?

But he's your buddy! I built a terraced bar just for him.

Have you found the robot that gives you beer? There's a robot. It gives you beer. You can take it home with you!
