Hoo, boy. I had to stop playing XCOM: Enemy Within on the PS3 because every time I get to the base defense, my game crashes. Every single fucking time. Oof. My dissapointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. If I ever get a computer that’s not a laptop, I’ll definitely just get it and try it on that.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I have been playing Overwatch for a while, but with the recent Summer Games coming out, and RL stuff getting busier, I have to make the wise decisions of holding up until next Wednesday. :P

On the other hand, I might be treating myself with a versus-AI (maybe Easy or Moderate, it's been a while) of Rise of Nations. Being a Dutch or an Egyptian really works wonders end-game, though the Chinese can handle themselves well with instant citizens.

Russians can also handle themselves well, defensively. Their attrition rate is extremely terrifying that once you busted their supply wagons, the enemy might as well kill themselves.

Been playing Deus Ex lately. And boy does it still hold up. For a game from what 2000? it hasn't really aged a bit gameplay vise. I mean sure, you can tell its era by certain things such as too many controls or inventory tetris. But it's still very enjoyable and a good experience.

And to think that came out the same year as Daikatana! Truly strange times those were.

There has always been a huge quality gap like that, no matter what year. It's quite a strange thing.

For NES, we have games like Super Mario Bros or Contra, and yet we have games like Action 52 or Deadly Towers.

For PC, we have games like Crysis or Far Cry, and yet we have games like Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing being made.

Bar SNES, my NES games are usually from those 9999-in-1 multicarts. Not that I embrace piracy, but piracy in Myanmar is so rampant and cheap games are how I got introduced to the wondrous world of gaming. I now buy my games through Steam, Humble Bundle, or Good Ol' Games (GoG).

Piracy was bad for companies, but in a positive twist, it helped us get access to them because it is just too damn rare to get electronics and video games (we were a tad late with technology). (More trivia: With cheap smartphones on the rise, this is how Myanmar now has one of the larger smartphone userbase - 90% out of the 54 million people).

I’m assuming that the lives system makes it so that you can respawn instantly without having to restart from a checkpoint but I may be wrong. I don’t know if they’ve released any info about it yet.
