I got in the Elden Ring network test!

24/10/2021

Yeah. It’s good.

It’s really good.

New Valheim world to get the most out of Hearth and Home.

Let me know if you want the details. There’s a Discord.

Episode 1 of the Literate Gamer Dune bookclub is in the can!

29/08/2021

Thinking about doing a special run of Literate Gamer book club episodes to cover Dune.

Total run to be 9-10 episodes.

My question for you: in the main feed in off-weeks (where platformer shorts are now), or in a separate feed entirely?

I’m just going to say Sid Meier’s Pirates is probably the best game ever made.

Also, there was 17 years between Pirates Gold and Sid Meier’s Pirates…and the latter is now 17 years old Firaxis Games you know what you need to do.

Literate Gamer won the PopCon podcast awards for Games and Hobbies.

What do you think was our best episode of the last 12 months?

28/05/2021

So I’m really digging Biomutant, but I can see why people wouldn’t. It’s far from perfect, but it brings a lot of interesting stuff to the table.

If you like open-world, you’ll probably love it. If you don’t, I feel like the missteps will outweigh the charm.

26/04/2021

Why the hell haven’t they made another Mercenaries game?!

20/04/2021

I'm on the fence here, I was NOT a fan of SFG's Dark Souls board game...

The ultimate tabletop monster hunting experience! Cooperative arena combat board game based on the bestselling video game 🟢✨⚔️

09/04/2021

I’m trying to power through Marvel’s Avengers but I can only go so far.

We are absolutely going to talk about this cluster f**k though.

I don’t like to do overtly negative pieces* when I can avoid it, but I can’t avoid this one.

*Cyberpunk’s going to go negative too, but you probably already knew that.

23/03/2021

We are still hideously addicted to Valheim.

24/02/2021

By Odin...Valheim is glorious.

16/02/2021

Setup a Velheim server.

Apparently it’s time for me to admit that Assassin’s Creed is one of my favorite franchises.

I’m in a weird spot with it though, because I really wish it would just stop doing all of the things that make them ‘Assassin’s Creedier’ and just commit to becoming a loose thematic ‘franchise’ of historical open-world games.

This Templar vs Assassin thing is getting REALLY stale, and it’s the albatross around the franchise’s neck.

29/10/2020

Playing Watch Dogs Legion and I keep driving on the wrong side of the street.

18/10/2020

I love everything about Ghost of Tsushima: Legends.

18/09/2020

New Conan Exiles server up. It’s private but reach out for password.

I initially started with the new map but that map is obviously geared toward PVP players, so I went back to the original.

27/08/2020

Playing the Open Beta of The New World.

This game has a looooot of work ahead of it.

18/07/2020

Ghosts of Tsushima is my favorite game of the year so far. This is a love letter to classic Samurai movies and it looks amazing.

15/07/2020

We had John Harper on the podcast to talk about game design and his amazing game, Blades in the Dark.

Jonathan and Nick speak with John Harper, creator of Blades in the Dark, an intricately well-designed Tabletop Role-Playing Game with a unique and novel world. This game is incredibly fun, slick as a...

Wish me luck.

Yeah, I didn’t realize I needed X-Com Chimera Squad in my life, but I needed X-Com Chimera Squad in my life.

It’s like the old Sierra Swat games...but with ALIENS!

23/04/2020

Jonathan and I backed the game Marauder on Fig.

Fair warning, the game is NOT playable at the moment. However, it does look promising and I felt it was within my risk tolerance.

Experience open-access to a multiplayer space pirate game set in deep space around the 1990s.

I'm actually starting to run out of games...
