My my, I seem to be all over the place these days! It's a miracle we didn't have another slip in the update schedule today. Nor did we have a slip in the update quality either ;) It's true because I'm saying it's true. The game of the quarter, Helheim Hassle is the second in a kind-of-trilogy that doesn't pre-require (or post-require?) anything anyhow. You're certainly going to be all over this game if you make it a part of your life! You're also going to be in pieces cause of how emotional it gets. And you might end up a little scatter-brained thinking about it round the clock. I know you're not splitting your sides but... it's all breaking down isn't it? Just read the gosh darn review already!

All those wishing to keep abreast with the latest and most !!!-worthy moves made by turn-based game aficionados around the world, relinquish any thoughts about other pretentious plans crowding your calendar from tomorrow, Dec 8th, through Dec 12th, for it is at no other time that you can experience the same potency of premeditation in the online medium. The cognizant creators signing up for this event will take turns to present their latest fare, or latest unfair depending how the difficulty was tweaked! Now off ye go to turnbasedfest.com for the rest of the story from the horse's mouth. (Yes, talking horses are in fashion again.)

Welp, this was totally up yesterday! That's what you get for finishing the article ahead of time instead of what is going by the time-honored custom, in the nick of it. Today is a little special also in the sense that despite trying to play various games in the past several months, I didn't actually find one that I was completely comfortable elevating onto HotU tier. And so you must see it as a resplendent victory for integrity that today's game is one I never got round to trying myself BUT I do have it on good faith from multiple other reviewers that we're looking at something people generally have no regrets giving a proverbial spin. I'll let the more modest review do more talking for Threads of Fate. Ta-ta for now and wish me luck with the next one!

I see there's a dead naked courier at the foot of the magisterial platform. Apparently we've won some kind of scuffle somewhere? Or possibly we've not quite won it yet but might be able to if the boys come home post-haste. Or maybe we should just call an evac and go tide it over with the horny piper up in the cave Plato keeps yammering on about. What's that? You're not actually dead? You didn't actually come from Marathon? You're not even sure how your name is spelled? I see, well, all I can say is "For Sparta!" but also "For Athens!" but maybe even "For Persia!" depending on how this all ends up going.

Meanwhile, and not by sheer chance, Bungie's first big FPS experiment is now a part of the collection.
