    Hi...

    Rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated. Motivation for writing however is a different kettle of fish.

    Stuck In Equestria Extra: A Nuclear Reactor In Every Basement

    This post explains about the crystal that powers the library in the main story. Extra special thanks to Midi, who questioned its existence, and to be honest, I should've explained it better. Sorry guys.

    Rust Diary: Pickaxe

    So I just bought the game Rust today on Steam. For those who don't know what it is, it is a crafting survival game where you survive against hostile wildlife and players. Imagine a zombie game without the zombies, as Rust had them at one point but they got axed.

    Writing Schedule... ACTIVATE!

    Apparently, there's such a thing as a 'writing schedule', and a friend recommended me to start one for 2014, so here we are. This has mainly come up because of my erratic chapter posting dates, sometimes being days apart, but mostly months apart. Yeah, whoops.

    Status Update! Now with 100% more story updates!

    They fixed story tagging blog posts now! Which means I can tell you all that don't follow me that the story ain't dead yet.

    I have an intermission chapter in the works to make up for all the lost writing time, hugely inspired by the Castle Mania episode, followed by a main chapter that is taking too long to write and it doesn't seem right.

Sid Meier's Railroads! · 10:22pm Jul 30th, 2012

Ever heard of that game? Probably not. This tabletop railway simulator is actually very good, but unfortunately, it has been eclipsed by the Civilization franchise. Which is why I'm getting people to recognise this forgotten jewel, by doing an LP series!

Fans of the Sid Meier's games will love this, and that goes for train enthusiasts as well. It my be old, with no new updates and the multiplayer servers long since abandoned, but you can't say that you're a true follower of the Sid Meier's games until you play this!

Got the game? Leave a comment about what you like about it! And don't forget to buy it before Windows 8 comes out as it only works for 7 and below!

Don't think you've used enough o's there mate

I've played Sid Meier's Railroads before, but I haven't got the full version yet.

Axz

played it 3-5 times but i know the game very well (watched a lot of let's play and read many reviews etc), and to be honest it never really caught my interest the same way the railroad tycoon series did.
Sid Meier's Railroads focus more on how to draw your track and on how to connecting your routes then on the financial model and the challenge in the game don't lie in making money more as in building effective routes for your trains, and i cant help but feel that the economy system feels lacking in a way and very very simplified, while railroad tycoon 2-3 (never played 1) is the opposite of that, and i cant help but enjoy that style of game play alot more.
