Fair enough. They were more innocent times :-)

Huh. Games as drugs. I know it's an old trope but playing it that straight just seems a bit crass, what with the specious links made recently between gaming and other social ills. Do we really want gaming to be seen in that light? I know it's just some oblivious marketing drone's brain fart, but it still rankles.

All the games. It's a rare game that I play to completion. My butterfly-mind is too easily distracted to give most games their due. Casting a blood-shot eye over my Steam list, the last game I completed (the main story, at least) was Mark of the Ninja, and before that Arkham City. For someone who buys at least a game a month, that's poor. Oh, and Torchlight 2 too. And the games that I "complete" aren't really complete because I'll keep chipping away at them for weeks, approaching but never quite reaching 100%. Either I play a game for a few minutes and never look at it again, or I play it for many hours a day for a fortnight until something else comes along and it gets shuffled to the back burner, where it languishes until I need the precious bytes.

I've been listening for a few months now and figured I ought to join up and say "hi". Hi. Now what? Oh, right: I really signed up because I've had The Ship for ages and never actually played it, so I look forward to that. <shameless plug>Also I run a friendly Frozen Synapse league on the RPS forum each month, if anyone wants to get their tactic on.</plug> Anyhoo. Hullo!
