Alone in the Dark

Alone in the Dark is one of my favourite old school PC games from 1993.

Scaring myself silly till Dawn

Titles like this are truly best when you are alone physically and virtually, lights out with a big screen and good headphone.

I’ve started Survival Horror Until Dawn™ nearly 2 years after it’s initial release.

 

Knowing full well that I would get this title one day I avoided most of the public spoilers and streams but know just enough about the game to have a good first-time experience.

One of it’s most enjoyable features is the Butterfly effect in that all your decisions impact the life or death of game characters.

This is way too close to real life but a great lesson to be learned.

Stop and think, there will be consequences to all your decisions.

Ghost will have to wait till next year.

Buzz Kill

I’ve been farming and hunting in Horizon Zero Dawn ™ for a couple of days, ranked up to 7 already but still a rookie.

The issue is that I clearly need 2+ hours of uninterrupted gameplay to really explore the environment and find stuff.

Life keeps interrupting my gameplay

I’m taking my time to farm at the lower levels just to get used to the controls and find a rhythm.

So during gameplay, no checking my phone or anything otherwise even 2 hour straight feels a little unsatisfying.

It’s like I’m half way up a mountain then I get interrupted by a phone call or text…leave me along people I AM BUSY

I’m leaning towards scheduling bi-weekly sessions, maybe mid-week 3 hours straight midnight to 03:00 as opposed to random gaming snacks.

Not enough funds to get How to Survive 2 right now so will have to play something else in my Library.

Total carnage…..I Love it

I just spotted a gore title released last month that can serve as a nice Rage outlet.

How to Survive 2 is low cost top down button mashing Zombie killer survival game.

Not many people streaming it right now but it’s a multiplayer so you may meet some real life psychopaths along the way.

It’s a Mature rated game (17+ Blood, Gore and Intense prolonged violence) so it was a little disturbing seeing a YouTube Video by SuperiorZane08, who is sounds like a 10-year old child,  giving a tour of the game.

I bet the parents have no idea what the kid is doing.

Personal Computing Gaming – The breeding ground

It’s been 10 years since I switched from PC Gaming to Console and for the most part it’s been good.

Primarily, it was a lifestyle change, I simply did not have the time and money to maintenance a high-end PC rig to play the games. What I like most about PC gaming is the engineering aspect where you can optimise your set-up to your hearts delight.

Thanks to my PC gaming career from the late 80’s to mid-2000 I now have a thriving career in Security. This was my training ground for reverse engineering and adopting technology at the earliest development stage.

Console gaming is more of a consumer experience, you can barely tweak anything on the hardware and are forced to update the Operating system and game software. Proper engineering is strictly forbidden.

The shift of PC in the Home Office or Man Cave to Console in the Living room is significant.

The setting changes your mindset, focus and attitude as well as other peoples impression.

Console bought gaming to the masses but I bet hardcore gamers are still on PC.

Nowadays is all about Layer 8, the Human factor.
