So it's time again for me to play crap and talk about it and you guys to pretend that you care!
Let me repost the rules, since it's been a while.
Rule 0 - I will play games dictated by random draw ("The Hat", by Harmony Hollow Software) and write about them meaningfully in blog form.
Rule 1 - I should make a good-faith effort to finish each game I start.
Rule 2 - However, some are arcade style, some last forever/are super-long, some are really hard, and some will piss me off enormously or be in a genre I can't stand. As such, after a few hours of gameplay, I can Escape Clause out of a game and go "Y'know, screw this." or "I will come back to this." But I still have to write about it and why I quit.
(Rule 2.5 - For MMOs and online shooters, just playing several hours will do. I can decide to keep playing after that if I like.)
Rule 3 - I can mod games, but they have to remain recognizable. No turning Doom into a third-person turn-based strategy game.
Rule 4 - I will accept gifts. Is there something you want to see me play? Drop it to me on Steam or GoG and it goes IN THE RANDOM PILE with every other game. You may not see it soon, but... I'm grateful if you choose to support this insane plan.
So those are what I'm working by, rulewise. So far I've had a GOOD RUN. I've finished two Nancy Drew games, finished a bunch of others, and only had one desperate tap-out with Evil Genius.
After playing hours and hours of Jet Set Radio, though, my bar is set PRETTY HIGH. A game is gonna have to be REALLY AWESOME for me to get into it after that and not feel like "Meh I should be practicing in Grind Square right now". So let's draw and see what...
...oh hell yeah that ought to do it.
So. Let's pick that up with BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL.
See you next time!
