I’ve been playing ABZÛ a lot more recently, trying to explore the things I’ve missed up to now. It turns out there is a lot more to this game than I noticed on my first play through.
Video Games
I do this for a living and for fun.
The Conjurer of High Hedge
The Troupe got distracted once again, after every paladin we met started trying to slay the half-orc, Dorn. Gavin was tasked by Lathander to hunt the murderer Bassilus so they set off to find him. During their search they came across a talking chicken who needed our help.
Action Henk: Buttslide Speedrunner
Run. That’s all you need to do in this fast paced and colourful game. If you weren’t into speed running before you play this game, you will be. Butt slide you way to new characters and levels, but remember it’s Henk, not Hank. With an E.
War of the Paladins (and a Chicken)
The Troupe helped Isra save Prism by defeating the bounty hunter Greywolf. Now they shall enter the Nashkel Mines in an attempt to solve the mining crisis. If they can solve this problem, then perhaps Braegar will finally calm his nerves.
ABZU: Art as a Video Game
For almost as long as video games have existed, it’s been hotly debated as to whether or not they can be art. I feel that in this day and age the question has already been answered. But sometimes you will play something and be forced to ask a different question.
60 Parsecs! My First Ending
I completed another game! I managed a run where I reached the end. It wasn’t easy, and cost a lot, but I did it. I’m on my way to finishing more games in my Steam Library.
60 Parsecs! A Choose-Your-Own-Roguelite
You and your team are orbiting Earth on a space station when nuclear war breaks out. As you watch life being wiped off the surface of your home, one missile starts heading towards the station. There is no stopping it, and the only way out is a small escape pod.
A New Direction for the Troupe
After losing Neera exploring Adoy’s Enclave, Aegon returned to Beregost to recruit some old friends. Gavin, Emily and Braegar agree to travel with him again. They stand now, outside the Thunderhammer Smithy, ready to discuss their next steps.
Wizball: The Best C64 Game
I started playing games on the Commodore 64. I found my love of games on this old microcomputer. Not just for playing them, but making them as well. One of my favourite games from that was Wizball, a side scrolling shooter that was way ahead of its time.
Unity’s Guide to Corporate Suicide
When Elon Musk took over Twitter it was a popcorn-worthy trainwreck. Poor decisions showed a core misunderstanding of the product, scaring away both advertisers and users. I’ve never seen a company fall this fast before. Then Unity decided to enter the arena.
