2020-06-19 18:53:48 +0000 UTCI guess I'm just too old for this. By the time I tried watching the video, it was removed. I tried the link for Ghosts, and found the page layout and graphics too confusing. It did remind me of the Itch.IO indie game bundle for Black Lives Matter. Even that was too confusing for me. There were two bundles, and the one at the top of the page was not the 1,000 games bundle. I'm still happy I donated my favorite number, twice ($42.42), and then some more for the 1,000-game bundle, but I wish they'd not relied on confusing us.

2020-06-12 00:53:48 +0000 UTCJust played "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" over Zoom. It was a great way to introduce a group of Gamer-Curious friends to the joys of gaming, during Covid times. I was running the game for my corporate team, so we used Zoom's "Breakout Rooms" feature to split everyone up into rooms of about 4 people, with one Defuser in each room. I'd met up with each defuser the weekend before to make sure they could get the game running, and played through the intro scenario with them. The rest of the players went in blind.

2020-06-09 18:00:27 +0000 UTCAnimal Crossing has always been a game that my son and I enjoyed playing together. He's now in MD and I'm in MA, but being able to play the newest Animal Crossing with him has made the imposed distancing a little more bearable.
