So, the Six Nations kicked off this weekend, and it's wide open.. mostly because none of the teams seem to be dominant.
England beat Scotland and France beat Italy, both as expected, but they were both close games, and Wales and Ireland drew. Can't say anyone really impressed.

The latest "Blast from the Past" is... AUTODUEL.. where the right of way goes to the biggest guns! https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2016/02/07/blast-from-the-past-autoduel-1985/(we also have a Four In February update, and more news!)

So, I've played XCom 2 for 20 hours. Not bad. Wait, what do you mean the game's only been available for 46 or so hours at the time I wrote this?
But yeah, game of the year candidate. And strategy game of the year winner. Calling it now.

XCOM2... defeated (ok, on easy)! The bad news is, that means I have to take a break and actually write a review. The good news is, that means I can go back and try it again on Medium!

In the immortal words from Lethal Weapon.. up till 9:30 AM playing #XCOM2 ? I'm getting too old for this shit. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2016/02/05/in-the-immortal-words-of-murtagh/

First thoughts on #XCOM2 .. There's so little to do and so much time.. wait, completely the opposite. COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY THE OPPOSITE. People who hate time management will be lost at sea, but this game is SO. DAMN. GOOD.

OMG. 5.5 hours later, and I don't want to go to bed. There's enough changed that it's very different and familiar all at the same time.
Edit: First Impressions are up on the an8bitmind.com website.

We are live.. hopefully the game will be unpacked shortly and you'll get to see the gameplay!

We have a bunch of new articles up: More on Darkest Dungeon and how the developers have actively made the game harder, EVE offshoot gets cancelled to make way for another offshoot, the new Batman Game trainwreck means we won't see it on Mac or Linux, and Mirror's Edge Catalyst enters Closed Beta soon (with a new trailer!)
(oh, and we have a new Twitter Handle for An 8 Bit Mind, @An8BitMind

Everyone, I'm looking for more voices for my video game site. If there's anything you want me to think about publishing for an8bitmind, say, about your favorite game/genre or what have you, just shoot me a PM or an email ([email protected]) and I'll see what I can do.

Please, all of you, do not tell me you are playing X-Com 2 before Friday. This game is getting the hottest reviews I've sen, and it's unusual for any February release to be called a shoe-in for game of the year consideration, but.. yeah, we're there. I'll have a full review of it up on release.

Yeah, X-Com 2 on Friday. hold all my plans for the weekend. It may be for the best that my Patriots aren't in the super bowl. More time to play XCOM.

Darkest Dungeon.
A game about flawed heroes, a dungeon into the mouth of hell itself. And despite the heroes being flawed, spending their time they're NOT fighting the minions of darkness.. drinking and gambling, and whoring.. being even more heroic because they're so flawed. And because there's no phoenix downs, no 1ups here. They die, they're gone forever (especially because the game frequently autosaves to prevent savescumming).So, you get more invested when that character you spent hours and hours building up that came through for you time and time again dies because you thought he could pull it out one more time, and you asked for that one step over the line.It's great. I love it.And it's the first game in my Fifteen for February attempt.

A new edition of Wot I'm Playing, as my gaming group has decided they're in the mood for BIG GIANT STOMPY ROBOT gameplay, and you don't get much bigger, gianter, or.. (um.. stompier? Is that a word?) then Battletech, a game three decades strong and getting stronger!
https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2016/02/01/wot-im-playing-part-1-battletech/
Oh, and I've started the Fifteen for February, and will have a report on the first game in the Core Four, Darkest Dungeon later today!

Wasn't a long stream tonight, kept having connection issues to warcraft, but here's the weekend news update! https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2016/01/29/weekend-news-update-129/

It's an early stream tonight! Finally breaking through WotLK, into Cataclysm dungeons. The 0-100 Tanking Challenge Continues!

I can't play one of the hottest selling games on Steam. I want to, but you know, the fact I can't read Korean or Chinese is a slight issue (and also: A Ninety buck game is one of the hottest new games on Steam? Talk about a rabid fanbase!)

Happy Hump Day! Hopefully, you're getting it, but if you're not, at least get OVER the hump with a Wednesday Night Twitch Stream! Gotta build up a schedule for the Fifteen in February! http://twitch.tv/sirfozzie

Hey Cool - I got an access code for the closed beta for The Division.
Anyone else?
I didn't.
Was hoping to do a preview for an8bitmind

There are reasons I will add non-video game stories to the blog. Like this one about a security flaw with Lenovo software (yes, again). Why? Because it allows me to sneak in a gratuitous Spaceballs reference.
-
Couple new posts up, breaking down the Atari Vault (including classic arcade games), and breaking down Game Informer's Top 50 of the year, and some of the statistics will surprise you!
(also in blog news, we will be running streams at least 6 days a week, starting around 8 PM Eastern daily)

Congrats to the Broncos. They played better. We were lucky to be in it at the end
