I have a monthly music podcast with my brother that takes up a lot of my time. On the gaming front, I'm working on an Amiga idea, but it will be a while before I'm ready to press go.<br /><br />I've also got into the habit of playing through games that are around 10 years behind the current year. I find that this saves a heap of cash (each game costs under $5 instead of over $50), and I can play them all with all graphics turned up full with my half-decent PC. I guess doing The Adventure Gamer for so many years released me from the need to play the latest and greatest games when they're full price. I'm much more patient.<br /><br />I've recently played through The Witcher, Mass Effect, Stalker, Dead Space, BioShock, Crysis, Portal and Assassin's Creed. Now I'm playing Fallout 3. Good times! :)The Tricksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419316208187255801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-2326232572823905602017-08-28T08:39:43.345+10:002017-08-28T08:39:43.345+10:004242Evan Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049739394359362973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-45044799073767619462017-08-28T00:37:05.414+10:002017-08-28T00:37:05.414+10:0052 is like saying, "I want to come right down...52 is like saying, "I want to come right down the middle . . . but I want to hedge my bets a bit."<br /><br />Good choice. 3 CAPs for forethought (even if I'm just imagining it).Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-54904252999428483662017-08-28T00:36:32.221+10:002017-08-28T00:36:32.221+10:00Just a good a number as any other.Just a good a number as any other.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-41278033181609013672017-08-28T00:36:22.505+10:002017-08-28T00:36:22.505+10:00Thanks Tricky!
