This week I’ve not done very much. I’ve played Roblox and helped my siblings with their various Minecraft projects. I also intend to play the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 VR mod now that I’ve got a slightly better GPU.
What are you guys playing?
Before returning to the Revanites, Kaliyo and I detour back to Kaas City to decide what to do with the Mask of Revan. Ladra wants the mask as a symbol, and possibly believes it contains ancient power. Torrun seems to just want the mask to keep it from people like Ladra and Grathan. I think the situation stinks. Stealing the mask from Grathan is a unique situation…what do the Revanites NORMALLY do? Does that mean Grathan is actually in on this charade?

I had a different post drafted for this week about the Sims 4 live mode and how broken it is. But instead another migraine. I’d power through but looking at screens is making me throw up. Next week less pain, more complaining.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
A big chunk of the internet went down in October of 2016. What happened? Was it a hack?
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
This series explores the troubled history of VR and the strange lawsuit between Zenimax publishing and Facebook.
How did this game avoid all the usual stupidity that ruins remakes of classic titles?
How does image compression work, and why does it create those ugly spots all over some videos and not others?
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2014.
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
Here are four games that could have been much better with just a little more work.
