My friends over at the Titterpigs podcast did a recent episode on “played vs unplayed reviews”, and in a sort of interesting synchronicity, the Modern Mythos podcast just released an episode on actual plays. It’s interesting because I see all three types of content as being on the same scale of “game prep”. Let me explain.
This summer is too hot, so it’s time for some nice refreshing clafoutis!
The new ThunderVolt ride in Playland is short but pretty awesome. The 1.3G launch is amazingly fast. POV videos don’t do it justice…
“Oh wow did you see what happened yesterday? Very sad”
“You mean the Trump a…”
“SHANNEN DOHERTY DIED 😞”
(Yes, Charmed was one of my guilty pleasures back in engineering school)
“French Alphamagic Squares”, aka “how some mathematicians have way too much free time”
Upgrading the band to use in-ear monitors was a MASSIVE improvement — it’s expensive but highly recommended
Getting ready for a gig near the ocean, with a pig roasting nearby!
Catching up to all kinds of Kickstarters that sent me free PDFs on DTRPG over the last year: “the 28 items in your cart do not require payment” 😅
Majuular is doing a very in-depth retrospective of the Ultima series, from Akalabeth to (as of now) Ultima V. They’re thorough, well researched, and played through. Amazing work. Totally recommended for Ultima fans like me! Can’t wait for the next videos!
