Sid Meier’s Civilization VI

John W. Otte November 12, 2016 November 11, 2016Reviews, Video Games Civilization VI, review, video game 0

Quite frankly, I had had enough of the French and the Egyptians. My Roman cities were quite the prize for both empires; both wanted their religions to be the dominant faith in our little world. And so while I continued to work on launching a satellite into orbit, France and…

Geek Confessional: I wrote storylines for two wrestling companies (sort of)

John W. Otte June 2, 2016 May 15, 2016Geek Confessional, Video Games, Writing Geek Confessional, wrestling 0

The last time I was in the confessional, I fessed up to my history as a professional wrestling fan. This time, I want to talk about a rather strange hobby I had about ten years ago. For two and a half years, I published a diary in an on-line forum…

Geek Confessional: Fus Roh Uh-Oh

John W. Otte November 5, 2015 November 2, 2015Geek Confessional, Video Games Geek Confessional, video game 0

I used to play Skyrim like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee… Okay, it’s an old meme, but it kind of fits this time around. Let me back up and make my confession all right and proper. I still haven’t finished playing Skyrim. I know, that…

80 Days

John W. Otte November 4, 2015 November 2, 2015Reviews, Video Games review, video game 0

My poor master, Phileas Fogg! We were doing so well in his frantic trip around the world. We had made it through Europe just fine, but then we were asked to escort a young lady from Tehran to Omsk. Maybe we shouldn’t have made that detour, but as it turned…

Geek Confessional: I’ve got (a lot of) game

John W. Otte July 16, 2015 July 16, 2015Geek Confessional, Video Games Geek Confessional, Steam, video games 9

Welcome to Geek Confessional, an on-going series of confessions from this particular geek. It might be a confession about some geeky thing I’ve done or continue to do. It might be a confession from this geek about something not-so-geeky. We’ll just have to wait and see what this turns into.…

Chroma Squad

John W. Otte May 12, 2015 May 8, 2015Reviews, Uncategorized, Video Games Chroma Squad, review, video game 0

So the other day, I was tooling through Steam when I spotted a newly released game called Chroma Squad. It was in my queue of suggested games and I almost clicked past it, but then I noticed that its trailer had real human actors in it doing…well, I wasn’t sure…

Cook, Serve, Delicious!

John W. Otte August 28, 2014 August 27, 2014Reviews, Video Games Cook Serve Delicious, review, video games 0

It’s been a while since I wrote a review of a videogame, so I figured I’d reach back into my Steam archives and pull out an oldie-but-goodie (so to speak). This is one that I’ve been sitting on for a while. Let’s talk Cook, Serve, Delicious! The concept is fairly…

Papers, Please

John W. Otte July 10, 2014 July 7, 2014Reviews, Video Games Papers Please, review, video game 0

It’s been a while since I posted a video game review, and I’ve been sitting on this one a while. If you haven’t heard of it yet, well… you’ve missed something really special. It’s 1982. You are a lowly peon in an Eastern European country (definitely not the Soviet Union.…

Slenderman: Requiem for Responsibility

John W. Otte June 4, 2014 March 9, 2015Musings, News, On-line Video, Video Games Slender Man, Slenderman 0

Have you noticed that, with one of the latest updates to Facebook, they’ve added a “Trending” newsfeed? It’s a short list of the top stories that’s setting Facebook abuzzing. I usually ignore it, but every now and then, I’ll spot something that catches my attention. So you can imagine my…

Requiem for a Universe

John W. Otte April 29, 2014 April 29, 2014Books, Movies, Musings, News, Science Fiction, Video Games EU, Star Wars 0

A few days ago, I read the news that sent me reeling. The day I was hoping wouldn’t come had. Oh, I had some premonitions. I had scried the omens and they were not good, especially with the announcement of a resurrection. But now it has been made official. The…
