Perhaps you've already read the interview Peter Molyneux had with Eurogamer.
I've been playing this nonagram game called Pixelo on Kongregate for a long time. There are multiple levels, and, once you meet certain criteria, you can unlock a daily puzzle. I'd been playing almost daily for at least a year and half, had beaucoup XP, had unlocked almost all the badges and prizes, and was happily working my way through the recently released 2015 daily puzzles puzzle pack. And then I decided to clean out my cookies because Pixlbit hasn't been running all that great on my laptop and I though that might help. I went to play yesterday's daily puzzle last evening, and remembered why I hadn't cleaned out my cookies in forever - my saved game is saved as a freaking cookie! I lost all my save progress from at least a year and a half, including my high scores, my XP and my gold. And Pixlbit isn't loading any better for me after all that. I'm going to go pour myself a shot of single malt Scotch and whimper.
Yes folks I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. The new job has me working long days and I'm just upgrading skills at the moment. A lot of the guys work very long hours and frequently operate on 3 hours or less sleep a day. I have that to look forward to.
Last night I felt a bit bored with Pokemon Shuffle, and too tired from work to consider M&L: Paper Jam, so I downloaded Pokemon Picross. Usually I don't like these number puzzle games because they get boring to me pretty quickly, but I tried it anyway, it's free.
Need for Speed Most Wanted " Not your mother's Need for Speed" is on Origin.
So, I was playing Fallout 4 last night and I got to vault 114 to rescue Mr. Valentine. Well, I was low on health and ammo, so I just hauled ass through to get to the Vault Door. Now that I have rescued Valentine I have to be beat this skinny slim guy, but I have to fight him 2 goons and his girlfriend with low to no health and small caliber ammo, plus I have to fight people out in the tunnels. Ugh, why in the hell did I do this to myself? Anyway, that is where I am right now, I may just switch back to dying light for now and think about starting Fallout 4 all over again.
Just got an email from Red Box saying there's a free game every Wednesday in February. Thank Commisioner Gordon I don't teach a class until 12:30pm on Thursdays.
In poking around the internet for more games set in the 17th century, I came across this winning submission to the British Library's annual "Off the Map" videogame design competition (http://www.bl.uk/projects/off-the-map) by six students calling themselves Puddling Lane Productions (http://puddinglanedmuga.blogspot.com/). It's a 3D render of 17th century London before The Great Fire of 1666 destroyed it all. Here's the video:
