10 years of FarCry

I can barely muster up an hour of daily quality gameplay lately.  Game time suffers directly when the joys of the “Real world” kick-in and it’s hard to justify to non-gamers that you actually need time to play.  I’m usually disgusted by gamers with poor commitment and find myself exactly in that position.

As this point, I cannot claim to be a gamer but a mere sporadic spectator.

My library is littered with unfinished stories like half-eaten apples.  Of course, this is a common trend during Summer months as opposed to locking myself up in a Man Cave during the winter.

E3 gave us some nice treats to look forward to and, for me, FarCry 5, Assassin’s Creed Origins and God of War are simply must haves for 2018.  Still waiting on news on Last of Us 2 though.  In the meantime, I’m aiming to Platinum Horizon Zero Dawn but the end of August.

Snow in April

This just sums up my year so far, Tales of the Unexpected.

Woke up to snow this morning.

I’d already ditched all my gloves and winter wear thinking it was all over and had to scrabble around for layers of clothing to keep warm.

Day 2 of no PS4

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.

“Flower” A Rare treat on PS4

I was 13 years old when Randy Crawford dropped the track “Endlessly”, I had enough pocket money to buy the Album 3 year later. To this very day, the lyrics echo the perfect Love song from a woman to a man.

What is “Rare Grove” today?

Chances are you can find it on all the popular streaming services, there is not even the need to own it anymore.

I still have a load of sealed Vinyl records in my garage but keep my 80’s Typewriter close to my gadgets.

In this cashless, always connected world keeping our “Rare” stuff offline and unavailability to SmartPhones is an admirable goal.

See me after Class for some authentic Rare Groove experiences.

Why are you Twitching so much?

Full-time Professional Game streamers are a fascinating element of the industry.

I’ve been following or watching Streamers for about 2 years, they harvest massive audiences.

Twitch.TV started 5 years ago was acquired on September 25, 2014, by Amazon.com and is one of the platforms that make it happen. Games or Clans stream directly from any console or Computer with full on cameras and live chat moderated by Bots.

To actually make direct money Streamers need to build up a following or channel averaging 15,000+ views per video and have over 100,000+ subscribers.
