Cyberpunk 2077: How Do I Love Thee?

The game covers for Cyberpunk2077--dude with body mods visible on his face in high-collared jacket with heavy pistol raised--and for the DLC Phantom Liberty--with female protagonist in the same jacket with same body mods but with a different, silenced pistol held cross-wise.

I am probably the last person to buy and play Cyberpunk 2077, so I guess this is more of a consideration than a review. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I tend to wait until AAA games are significantly discounted—generally by more Read more…


Fallout 76 Falling Down

Cover of the Fallout 76 computer game, which shows the helmet of a set of power armour

I am way, way late on this. I play a lot of computer games but I never buy them when they come out. I pick them up two or three years later when they are 75% off. Rarely am I Read more…


Fallout For Me

“Fraser’s been really quiet recently.” Yes. Yes I have. And there’s a reason for that. It’s called Fallout 4. I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, and while Fallout: New Vegas remains my favourite of the franchise. That’s Read more…


That Dungeon is Dark!

Things have been quiet because all of my writing has been focused on getting a substantial buffer for my Patreon (you are backing my Patreon, right? I mean, of course you are!). Things are looking good as the releases up Read more…


Hard West

Since I have put my master’s program on pause, I’ve had some time to play some computer games, and an interesting one that I’ve just started is Hard West. Now, being a PC player, I don’t have access to Red Read more…


My Week That Was, 23 Dec 2016

My Week That Was, 16 Dec 2016

Well, it’s been quite some time since I’ve done one of these. Given that all my other writing is either schoolwork or a commission on which I’m working, I’ll get this out there to break the radio silence and offer Read more…


My Week That Was, 4 November 2016

Still haven’t read anything for class, but I have been reading David Brin’s blog. He’s the author of the Postman, Earth, and the Uplift series, along with a lot of other stuff. He’s also a smart guy who has some Read more…


My Week That Was, 28 October 2016

I haven’t read anything for class because I’m in the final week and was doing stuff like writing a final paper, but I have been reading Dr. Andrei Lankov’s discussion of the emigration of ethnic Koreans from Japan to North Read more…


My Week That Was, 21 October 2016

The best thing I read for class this week was Thomas Fingar’s Reducing Uncertainty, all about the role of intelligence analysis. I’ve been reading Hyena Road, the novelization of the Paul Gross movie I have not yet seen. I ran Read more…
