Games yo!

I'm down for boardgames for sure!

My desire to read comic books has returned with a burning passion. Here are a few authors and artists I appreciate. Some are life long favorites and some are new discoveries. Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett Brian K Vaughn Alejandro Jodorowski and Mobius Windsor Mckay Tom King Alan Moore Neil Gaiman Lots more really but I'm really just fishing for new leads! What awesome new discoveries have you made recently?

Oh, still playing Witcher 3. Probably the best game of it's type I've played. Not punishingly difficult but every accomplishment feels real. When you get a gear upgrade you really earned it. Story is well told and not predictable. Graphics are amazing.

Awesome!

This game looks super sweet but I haven't played it. Anyone own it? I'd love to give it a whirl before plunking down the cash... I probly still will.

It's a great balance of strategy, resource management and not-taking-four-hours-to-play.

Dark Age St. Mary

It's already a thread here but I'm playing Osiris New Dawn. It's still in early release but I'm digging it a lot. Could be one of the greatest multiplayer platforms of all time when finished.

I'm only interested if it preserves the squad-command aspect. FPS style is fine but you need to be able to issue orders.

Mars bars!

I haven't actually tried co op but the potential feels pretty amazing with all the buildings and gadgets you have access to. I think that aspect of the game hasn't really been fine tuned yet. By next year it should be fully fleshed out. I really hope it doesn't get stuck in development. It's my favorite game right now.

Still an early steam release with the normal bugs. Totally playable but expect the occasional problem. You play an astronaut who has crash landed on a barren planet (a common theme right now) The game focuses on resource collection and management. You land in a random spot on a large map. Your starting position is pretty important because your initial ability to transport resources is very limited. The atmosphere of danger and isolation is captured pretty well. Your visibility is impaired by various conditions as often as not. Enemies and hazards will often catch you unaware. Your space helmet gets cracked and your vision gets impaired by blood and oxygen loss. It's especially cool at night with the flashlight which combined with the spooky aliens evokes several familiar horror films. The construction is fairly straightforward (a lot of stuff is either currently inert or unavailable) You begin with a simple habitat dome and a robot drone companion. You need to develop and build what amounts to an outer space style base camp. One especially cool facet is how modular the building components are. A lot of the resources require you to create machines that process other resources. Early in the game you spend a long time wandering around because the resources are spread pretty thin and you usually need three or four elements to construct anything not to mention the fact that you can carry very little until you get a vehicle. Memorizing coordinates and landmarks pays off handsomely for this reason and also because certain enemies should probably be just avoided. There is already a formative multiplayer aspect both co-op and pvp. The potential for large scale team conflicts is pretty exciting given all the other features.

Eliminating the turnover rule would be a huge mistake.

I know not of kill teams but I'd love some board game action!

My hope is that the impetus behind comic book films gets carried further into the genre: Watchmen, 300, Sin City et cetera. Even with the superhero stuff I'd like to see it spread out beyond the most familiar characters.

How horrible. Kudos to all of you who make rule of law possible.

Can I reserve a spot for said terraforming?

I'll be there a bit late for board games.

I'm down if anyone wants to board game.

I'm out with a bug but hope to see ya'll next week.

Anyone know why the Spike page doesn't get updated? The latest photos are 2013.

I think me and my bro will try to make it for some board games.
