I need to really get back to playing through X-Com. It's just a bit of an awkward experience for me since the copy I have I'd bought my dad for Christmas, and that Christmas night he went back in the hospital and never got out (five days later he passed). But I love X-Com and the newer versions are pretty good updates of, not vast changes to, the original formula.

In other news, Battlefront is $40 right now. I think I might get it with it being 33% off like that. Seems a more reasonable price.

So I've just done my first Insomnia festival.
It was quite fun.
Absolutely ****loads of retro games to play.
Had a go on the htc/steam VR headset playing Elite Dangerous. the immersion was amazing. I was surprised at how good it was.
The razor bus had a 5v5 Arena totalwar game to play. Got a steam key for the beta for trying it. Was enjoying it, but we didn't defend the flag well enough.
Played an aplha build of a world of warships clone in space ships so it was 3d manoeuvring in an asteroid field.
Was a good weekend.

I have been playing Xenoblade Chronicles X all weekend, it is ludicrously addictive, even more so than Fallout. I have done pretty well this year, bought Bloodborne without knowing anything at all about it, loved every second. bought Xenoblade knowing nothing about it, loving that too.

ha, that is fantastic.

I picked up Starwhal and Nidhogg on Christmas Day, both of which are awesome. Starwhal is an absolutely hilarious multiplayer game anyone can get in on regardless of whether or not they are gamers, and is brilliant. Nidhogg is trickier, at its' heart a very simple control scheme, with a lot of tactics. also very addictive.
