All reviewsAge of Empires III2005
4 out of 5 starsI loved Age of Empires 2, easily my favorite RTS. It improved on it's predecessor and perfected a formula for RTS that seperates Age of Empires from other franchises. I was extremely excited for the sequel. The graphics were amazing and the level of depth was still present from previous games. Training units in groups and Ships that are actually to scale were two of the many small but important additions. I also…
Call of Duty 22005
5 out of 5 starsThis was my first Call of Duty game and it started my love for the series. I went through the campaign at least 5 times before deciding to check out the online. You felt like you were part of the war and combat was intense. That and Macgregor is my favorite game character of all time.The multiplayer was spectacular, the people were great and the mods were awesome (Zombies especially.) Now take note that this was…

Aug 23, 2016
So Mount and Blade, my favorite series of all time, is on sale in a Steam Midweek madness. For $5 USD you can have any one of a variety of awesome games. If you have any interest in realistic melee combat, RPG leveling, horse archery, large sandbox worlds, army building, faux mongolians, telling poems to fair men/maidens, or kingdom management, you should buy it. The problem of course is that t...

Historically, Norwegian King Harald Hardrada died at the battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066. It was supposed to have been a minor skirmish in a much larger campaign, but the Saxons got a jump on them, cut off from the majority of his army, Harald died in the field. The Norwegian Invasion was crushed. 3 Days later, William the Conquerer would land in Dover and his story would end much more famous...
I Murdered One and a Half People.

After committing to buying Arma II: Combined Ops off steam, i've gotten deep into the DayZ mod. The servers have been fairly stable and i've had plenty of adventures. I've been playing solo, which is great fun, although i'll need to find some teammates if I want to maximize my time alive. Today I began my best run yet... but i'm starting to regret some choices i've made. I began in the small to...
What i've learned about M&B Napoleonic Wars.
Apr 22, 2012
I've played many musket mods for Mount & Blade, and always thought they were neat but not worth getting into. Napoleonic Wars has outdone most of those mods and done some unique stuff. Having played about 10 hours so far I thought i'd share some tips from my experience, most should be fairly obvious but hopefully they'll help someone. Always be in cover - This is pretty obvious but should be no...
My first bit of "fun" in dwarf fortress...
Jul 25, 2011
How a mad dwarf made me realize the most fun part of Dwarf Fortress, is the losing... I finally got into dwarf fortress using This guide and this mod . My first fortress attempt was a bit of a bust because I made a bunch of mistakes, but my second attempt went fantastically, and I soon had a large working base filled with 2 dozen busy dwarves. I was unprepared for the winter and lost two miners...
Damn you Treyarch
Dec 17, 2010
Yea, you'll be staring at that explosion for awhile... Treyarch has put me into tears, I suppose they are metaphorical tears, I'm not that addicted to call of duty, I don't even start shaking after not playing for 3 hours anymore. But Ive been having serious issues with Black Ops PC multiplayer in that it Freezes and than has to be ended via task manager. The first 40 hours of multiplayer were...
