The Home for Hamish the PolarBear and His Shenanigans
This week we tackle one of the lengthier campaigns in Battle for Wesnoth. This will afford a more in-depth look at the cool stuff that can be achieved with the Wesnoth engine as well as further character advancement than we’ve shown in the multiplayer sessions.
This week we will take a look at the state of modern FOSS gaming, looking over four different genres. One per evening.
This week will be one of our semi-regular multiplayer invite thingummies. If you want to join in then let me know via the usual channels.
Have I used that title before? I can’t remember.
All this week we will be travelling the galaxy in Elite: Dangerous. There may be some others joining in.
Since it is a bit cooler this week I will catch up with my intended game, Red Steel on the Wii. An FPS / sword game with a dubious story line but might be fun with Wii controls if I don’t get confused with the movement. Thursday night is party game night and everyone is invited to take part.
Woah it is HOT! Despite what a certain Brazilian friend may say it is very, very, hot in my locale right now. I was thinking of playing some Wii games this week but I decided “bugger that in this heat”.
I decided instead to stay with lower activity stuff like last week, plus I am adding a wee bonus on Friday.
Stay hydrated, kids.
Monday July 12th I will be streaming again. To be honest, Peanut (the puppy) hasn’t become any less of a needy pain in the arse but I am going to try to make his evening walk as late as possible before the show. He has stopped losing his baby teeth and although his adult teeth are still growing in he is not as bad as he was last month. Fingers crossed we will get through it all okay.
There are a load of games I still haven’t got around to playing, as well as some old favourites to rediscover and some games that I tried before that have been updated. I shall be taking a look at some of these this coming week on stream:
It has been a wee while since there was an official schedule, mainly due to continued puppy disruption. I am going to start scheduling again from this week and try to get Peanut into a routine of resting at the correct time for me to stream.
In this first week of the New Plan™ I will be streaming things that need less dedicated concentration for the most part, in the hopes of ironing out any problems with his new routine. To that end this week will start with a quiz (the last one to use the quiz engine we have used before, I will chat about that when we are getting ready to start) and the rest of the week I will play retro games while chatting about my own Z80 computer project.
I am not sure if I will be able to do a full stream (puppy-dependent) but I will at least attempt to start one each night. We are still in the world of Deus Ex so I will try to complete that when I can.
