I am not kidding or exaggerating when I tell you I am functioning on less than an hour a day of sleep.

So this is going to be a Queue where I’m even less coherent than I usually am. So get ready for that.

Oh, and go play Tyranny because it’s one of the best written CRPG’s in history. I’d put it up with Planescape Torment or Fallout 2 for best CRPG story.

Playing Tyranny again, because it’s really one of my favorite CRPG’s and in the wake of Baldur’s Gate 3 and other popular CRPG’s like Wrath of the Righteous and Rogue Trader that allow you to play a morally questionable character Tyranny really lets you do that.

 

It’s Boxing Day up here in the endless winter of Canada. Boxing Day does not involve people beating each other to a pulp. Well, it can, but that’s because people get really weird about sales and returning gifts.

It’s the Queue. It’s the Holiday season. It’s the last dance, so I’m listening to Celldweller.

It makes no difference who we are

If I didn’t know it would break the Queue, I would probably just use my SS folder to answer questions this week.

Not just with Varric, either. Rook flirts with literally everyone/everything in this game.

Hi. I’m Matt. This is the Queue.

Yesterday was Dragon Age day, that magical day when a massive megacorporation (Electronic Arts) tells one of its subsidiaries (Bioware) to release a standalone character creator so that you can use the latest video game assets to make a portrait of your D&D character.

Hope it’s not a worse day
That’s my curse hey
It can always get worse say
Just another tired Thursday

Been watching Arcane, playing Veilguard, and waiting.

Sometimes you need a song to just lose your beep over. Sorry, I can’t say the actual word here.

We've talked before about how Video Games adaptations seem to work better as episodic series than one-shot movies, and in the past few years we've seen some amazing series like Arcane, The Last of Us, and Fallout, and some really bad movies like Borderlands.

So, thanks to the generosity of a person who I will not name here for privacy’s sake, I am getting to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard and I have a lot of opinions.
