Pictures and discussion of our gaming, be it video games, or board games.
It was shortly after BioShock first launched that I picked up a copy on Steam. As a veteran of PC shooters I was looking forward to a game with a bit more depth than the average shooter of the time, and dare I say with an actual story behind it. Things started well, I found the whole world of Rapture captivating and the mix of gun play and the games ‘magic powers’ of plasmids a…
Table Top Day 2013 We played a fair few games yesterday in honor of the first ever Table Top Day. Reminded us of how much we enjoy co-op games. Will have to seek out more.

It started with Elite, a game made to get lost in through it’s near infinite universe to explore in an endless trek for profit and glory.
