Posted by tanstaafl under Random Thoughts, The Paleogamer (No Respond)

In this first part of a walkthrough for the game Aura: Fate of the Ages, we meet the unlikely named Umang as he is sent to the valley of Ademik (or possibly Ademika; no one seems quite sure) to continue his lessons from the slightly less unlikely named Grifit. Grifit turns out to be missing, [...]

Random Thoughts on a Walk

Posted by tanstaafl under Random Thoughts, The Lonely Misanthrope (No Respond)

It’s a nice, sunny day, I guess I’ll do my walk outside today. I usually do this loop to the left. Maybe I’ll do it to the right today. Mix things up. There’s always a lot of traffic on this road. A lot of dump truck out today though. Man, those things are loud. Hard [...]

Fallen London – Walking the Polythreme Streets

Posted by tanstaafl under Random Thoughts, The Paleogamer (No Respond)

After being away for about six months I have returned to Fallen London. Actually, I can’t say I’m in Fallen London. I’ve taken my Zee Clipper across the Underzee and have made my way to the city of Polythreme, the home of the Clay Men. I’ve been wandering the streets here while trying to make [...]

Hiking at Red Top Mountain

Posted by tanstaafl under Brain Stack Overflow, Random Thoughts (No Respond)

I hadn’t been hiking in a long time but had the opportunity to get out for a bit this past weekend and went up to Red Top Mountain State Park. Red Top Mountain is basically a peninsula extending into Lake Altoona just north of Atlanta. It wasn’t a long hike, just a couple of miles, [...]

The More Things (Don’t) Change…

Posted by tanstaafl under Random Thoughts, The Paleogamer (No Respond)

I had finished Skyrim for the third time and was trying to figure out what to do next. I thought about loading up a bunch of mods and starting a fourth playthrough, maybe taking the Nords side in the Civil War this time, then I thought maybe I would play through Morrowind and Oblivion again [...]

Stories and Worlds

Posted by tanstaafl under Random Thoughts, The Paleogamer (No Respond)

So I finished Mass Effect 3 last week and I immediately went back to playing Skyrim again. I think it is telling that I am done with Mass Effect after what Raptr tells me is around 35 hours (for now anyway) while I am still engrossed by Skyrim even though I am closing in on [...]

Random Thoughts at the Mall

Posted by tanstaafl under Random Thoughts, The Lonely Misanthrope (No Respond)

It’s cold. It’s wet. I can’t do my daily walk outside. Guess I’ll go walk around the mall for a while. Crowded in here. Guess everyone else had the same idea. Why are all of you just standing here? You’re in the middle of the walkway. Do you have to stand in a line across [...]

Trust and Betrayal in Skyrim

Posted by tanstaafl under Random Thoughts, The Paleogamer (No Respond)

So I’ve been spending a lot of time in Skyrim lately. I’m the Harbinger for the Companions, the Listener for the Dark Brotherhood and a Nightingale and the Master Thief of the Thieves Guild. I’m also apparently the Dragonborn, whatever that means. I guess I should get around to completing the main plot at some [...]
