Right now, I'm stuck playing the following:

1. Murky Conscience II
- Strength Character. Trying to get past that damned tunnel with the Ironclads in Iron Fortress. Stopped playing this character because I found the Khumaak build to be too slow. Currently favouring my...
- Dexterity Character with powerstanced Piercers. Still stuck in that Hyde's Fiery Spire because I suck at dodging and parrying.

2. Foulest Mausoleum
- Challenged the 150mm Ground Pounder. Lost half my party and forced to retreat.

3. The Warlocker III.
- Can't stop playing! HALP!

While I remember.

I sometimes play an Imperial authored game called Wardawn. It's a real-time strategy game that places you in command of various imperial troop types facing off against heretics and, in some cases outright fictional supernatural foes. I think it might have started life as a MIO propaganda piece. My copy is legitimate, but came from non-slaver sources.

I only play the first draft of it. Eventually it was altered to be more about individual hero types but I liked directing hordes of computer generated madmen against other computer generated madmen. Regularly screaming "For the Emperor!" and getting killed in bizarre ways.


I love that game! It's awesome and ridiculous! The standard troopers for the Imperials were wearing TANKS! If you think Flaylock Pistols are audacious pieces of infantry military hardware, try the Assault Rifle version of that and the ammo were all armour piercing and the magazines carry 20 rounds of the sodding things!

Also chainsaw swords!

And we haven't gotten to that faction where they make weapons out of junk and said weapons were somehow able to give the Imperials a good licking, and how their battlecry actually makes everything work better! My complaint is that they all look like green-skinned Brutor!

What I'm really looking forward to, however, is a good game from the fantasy version of the Battlemace franchise. Battlemace Online was a disappointment (though I admit that it's always fun to stab a heretic and then set him on fire, or just shoot him in the head). I'm pinning my hopes on Total Warfare: Battlemace and Mortburg: The Damned City.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

I acquired an unhealthy fixation on hologames during my baseline days. Even though I spend so much of my time staring at consoles, well I guess old habits die hard. My choice of game however is a complete mess. Anything between first person combat to grand strategy with independent titles inbetween. One I keep going back to is Khanid Space Program; its easy to forget how hard it was to get into orbit in the first place, and who knew complete disaster could be so hilarious?

Books still hold my attention from time to time though, even ones made of paper get a look-in occasionally, especially if the weather is nice planetside.

Family, Corporation, and State, in that order. What else is there worth fighting for?

I completely forgot about that. I love Khanid Space Program. We take so many technologies for granted today that we forget to truly appreciate just what a huge effort early space travel was initially.
