The Home for Hamish the PolarBear and His Shenanigans
Having a mixed bag week this week, including an appearance of F1Madkiller in another episode of Old Fart versus Young Person.
This week sees the return to Elite: Dangerous by popular demand. This week I will be setting some targets to reach by the end of Thursday.
Something a bit different this week. All week long I will be preparing, building and painting a scale model. I took inventory of the kits I had around to be done and asked people in Matrix what they liked the look of. So this week we will be building an Apollo 11 Moon landing scene.
This week we are playing Elite: Dangerous the whole week. This time I have gone for a full exploration set up and I will be doing some deep space traveling. Hopefully we will make some new discoveries and get my name on the galactic database some more.
UPDATE (again): It turns out that strategy was boring people and Elite: Dangerous has been asked for. The rest of the week will be E:D. Hamish will play strategy in his own time.
Hi Peeps, I want to play a tactical / strategic game this week but I can’t decide which. To this end I have made a poll here. The winner was clear…
Going to have a couple of comfort-zone nights to start then some multiplayer action later in the week. Let me know via Matrix if you want to join in the MP sessions. If I get 3 more to sign up then Thursday will be Left4Dead2 – otherwise I will play something else public MP (perhaps Insurgency or Day of Infamy). There will be a mumble server available soon™.
Friends of the stream, Cheeseness & Mim, have created a great game called Hive Time, a bee-themed city building game. I give it some long overdue playtime this week.
I have been playing some classic games as always but I haven’t had my Big One™ out on stream for a while. I will remedy that in the second half of this week.
It is a mixed bag this week. A couple of nights of classic (retro) gaming, another of the ever-popular party game nights and a chance for you to help shape the fab.80 project with a look at firmware and expansion cards.
So I was soldering and testing all night long but it was worth it, the first module is built. It is essentially a breakout board to help arrange the pins to my bus specification.
A celebration of Itch.io. Itch recently offered a massive bundle of games (and more) as a charity fund raiser. It was massively successful in fund raising and, hopefully, raising the profile of Itch who are criminally underrated. Join me on a voyage through this huge collection of over 1300 computer games, tabletop RPG material and other media.
