In honor of Wasteland 2's imminent release, I've started a let's play of the original classic which was re-released on Steam.

I watched some streams of the new Zelda game and it was just so unZeldalike. I felt like I was watching someone play an Oblivion mod.

I dunno, maybe it's gr8 fun but ughhhhhh the feel was so wrong.

superb
. I love how slick everything is - graphically, the music and the storyline blending. Slowly getting into the proper game which involves social links and stuff so here comes the anxiety about missing stuff and doing stuff wrong but it's just so much fun.

Is this the kinda sequel where you need to play the other ones to have any chance of understanding what's going on?

They're both excellent games and still worth playing.

It's a dating sim/visual novel. It's free on Steam. It's not too long of a game. I recommend going in blind - don't read the Steam reviews, or anything but the About section, really.

And for those of you that tuned out my post after I said "dating sim/visual novel", no, seriously, go play it anyway.

This game won't be getting out of my head for a while.

See sig.

My daughter's favorite video game is Journey. She really enjoys the environments, she thinks the cloth creatures are cute, she likes being able to explore without worrying about enemies or complicated controls. She's completed the game multiple times, and she still loves watching her little star cross the sky now just as much as she did the first time she finished.

One of the game's most interesting features is that you can sometimes cross paths with another player. I'm not quite sure how the game determines when this happens, but every once in a while you'll happen upon another robed figure and you can continue your journey together. There's no ability to chat in the game, so communication is limited to the hops and little bloop noises your character can make. (as a parent I appreciate this) She loves when this happens and always looks forward to seeing their account name after the credits roll.

A couple days ago she happened upon a new friend early in the game. About halfway through we called her to dinner so she had to stop, but she didn't want to quit completely so she left the game running. Her friend of course had no idea why my daughter's avatar had suddenly stopped moving and spent the next 20 minutes or so amusing himself by running rings around her seated figure or jumping around the screen. My daughter was touched that he didn't abandon her and we relented and let her leave the table early to not keep him waiting.

Eventually they ascended the mountain together, and spent a longer time than is usual (I think) playing in the clouds with the cloth dragons. Eventually they started up the final path to the end when her companion for the past couple hours abruptly turned around. She stopped, confused, and I commented that maybe he wasn't ready to leave yet. But when she panned the camera back to watch where he was going she saw that he wasn't leaving after all, but he'd drawn her a heart in the snow. She was crying as they walked into the bright light together.

It's funny how small things can have such a big impact.
