Wintersteel blew me away. I laughed more than I've laughed in a while. I grinned until my face hurt. I held my breath for entirely too long. Cradle is always fun, but Wintersteel pushes everything up to eleven. It feels like every chapter has a reveal with half the series backing it, making it even … Continue reading Wintersteel (Cradle #8) by Will Wight

Steam Cleaning #20: Salt and Sanctuary
What would happen if you translated Dark Souls into a 2d game? Salt and Sanctuary took it upon itself to find out, with… mixed results. My time with this game was a series of ups and down, over and over, until one persistent downer caused me to quit. Rather than ramble on, I'll just go … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #20: Salt and Sanctuary
Golem Project Part 12
Draft 1.12 Golem Project In Progress First Chapter Previous Chapter “Everyone, head back for the elevator,” Eric Holderman said. “Please remain calm. The tour is on hold until further notice.” There was no great outcry or panic. The people of this city were used to twisters coming through. They understood the danger, the odds, and … Continue reading Golem Project Part 12
Steam Cleaning #19: Jurassic World: Evolution
I ended my last post thinking that I would like to try Planet Zoo. But I don't have Planet Zoo, so I rolled on my random PC game list instead. And I got Jurassic World: Evolution. A licensed 'zoo' game by the same company. What are the odds? At least, those were the expectations I … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #19: Jurassic World: Evolution
Inflame (The Completionist Chronicles #6) by Dakota Krout — A Review
The Completionist Chronicles is a series entirely constructed of trash aspects and I can't stop reading it. Nothing in this system is serious, everything is silly and pun-filled. The logical leaps in progression range from scientific to completely absurd and reality breaking, and often combines the two. I open Inflame up and know I'm not … Continue reading Inflame (The Completionist Chronicles #6) by Dakota Krout — A Review
Steam Cleaning #18: Planet Coaster
Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe is one of the greatest real time management games of all time. It came about as the vision of one man, put together using an archaic programming language, and yet nearly perfected every part of the park sim experience. Growing up, RCT was one of my favorite games. I struggle to … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #18: Planet Coaster
Golem Project Part 11
Draft 1.11 Golem Project In Progress First Chapter Previous Chapter The Birmingham Electrical Plant stood high in the center of the city. Smaller buildings, travel rails, elevated roads, and support cabling surrounded its base. The triply-reinforced walls of the mighty tower reached up to support its coil, which wavered amid heavy black clouds. Arcs of … Continue reading Golem Project Part 11
Steam Cleaning #17: DiRT 3 Complete Edition
DiRT is an apt name. I've played Burnout, Need for Speed, Daytona, Midnight Club, GTA, and… well, Mario Kart, and none of them felt even remotely similar to this rally car racer. Why? It's in the dirt. My very first turn in DiRT had me spinning wildly, praying for traction. My second slammed me into … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #17: DiRT 3 Complete Edition
Houndstooth by Travis Riddle — A Review
I'm going to include reviews that I wrote for all three books in the trilogy below. Very slight spoilers may commence in the later reviews. Be warned. Flesh Eater I'm not much of a consumer of 'furry' media, or books with dark themes in general. In that way, maybe Flesh Eater wasn't for me, but … Continue reading Houndstooth by Travis Riddle — A Review
Steam Cleaning #16: Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee
Wow, games used to play differently. I'm no stranger to platforming/adventure/puzzle hybrids with very stiff movement and level design. This was all the rage in the 90s. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine was my first dose of this kind of gameplay, and that game itself was copying Tomb Raider. Games in the 2d space, … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #16: Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee
