Having downloaded Far Harbor, I can't seem to get it triggered. I've already passed all known requirements for it, but I can't seem to pick up the radio broadcast that starts it. I've even gone so far as to have Nick as my active companion and go to his office with him in tow. Anyone?

Had a sick day. Basically slept and watched Gossip Girl and then played Crusader Kings 2 as a nobody count in Italy who was the only guy of his dynasty. And it's actually been a blast. Dropped chancellor on the king and hit 100 approval with him, so when he had one too many duchies, who should he bestow one on but his favorite count? And apparently now when a monarch is in trouble they can offer a county to you for a lump sum? 200 gold for a county is a steal, guys.
I did have a third son with unflattering stats so naturally I named him Fredo. As if the game wanted to mock me, my count turned Duke lived to be 82, and the first two sons died. So thanks to the wonders of gavelkind succession--I have to imprison and kill Fredo before he screws up my dynasty inheritance. Hello again, kinslayer trait.

Can't you send him into a battle he can't win or survive? Don't thrust the dagger in yourself and you can maybe avoid the kinslaying. (Disclaimer: I've never played CK2. Or any of them)

Not when I'm pushing 80 and can croak any second! People die natural deaths at 60 here!

I'm playing through the first Mass Effect yet again because I wanna finish this damn series. So far I've started ME2 4+ times and never gotten anywhere. But this time I am determined!

When you finally do get to ME3, download the director's cut ending. IJS.

Moved on to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords, after 2 or 3 hours of downloading and installing mods, including the major Restoration one. This game was brilliant.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Looking forward to Star Ocean 5 coming out in PS4 on July 1st.

I decided to play some good ol' Donkey Kong Country.
I died 7 times on the second stage.

The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!

It is nearly five am but I finished Zero Time Dilemma at last and I am a mess of conflicting emotions but also very tired. Virtue's Last Reward is still my favorite installment but this one had some story bits I won't be forgetting anytime soon. What a trilogy. Amazing amazing plot throughout.

It's amazing, and it's also painful. This game could have been so much more if it wasn't rushed so hard for a deadline.

I played it years ago, and even I could tell it wasn't finished (especially the final planet. It felt like half of the map was there, but inaccessble). I'm enjoying it more now that I know the story and can see all the things leading up to it.

Also, thanks to the Steam sale, I'm playing The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (redux). Played about a half hour so far. Liking it!

Highly recommend the Swapper for some brain-wrinkling puzzles and some deep thoughts about identity and cognition. $3 on Steam until tomorrow, and totally worth it.
There have been a few tedious moments, mostly brought about by the fact that I didn't realize you could be overleveled for missions; because of this, I've effectively had to raise a party to fight the first bosses twice, making everything take much longer than it should have to get going. At Week 31, I have taken out the level 1 bosses and thus far managed to avoid any catastrophic failures, though I have had some close calls, and lost a handful of guys on the way. Honestly, I feel like I'm fighting my gold more than anything.
I do a lot of miniature wargaming on it. It's not perfect for it, but it's better than anything else digital. Bloodbowl works great if you're willing to proxy miniatures and dice. Good alternative to the specialize Bloodbowl game. I'm also a huge fan of Condottieri on it. Last I checked it was only available in French, but it's one of those delightful Eurogames where everything runs on pictures, so it doesn't matter as long as you know the rules.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
