Installing Halo Wars 2 Complete from the Windows Store.

Posted on April 10, 2018 by baudattitude

So, I almost managed to make it through Microsoft’s Spring Sale without buying a single new game, and I was feeling pretty good about that. Then, at like 1 AM (with two hours left in the sale!), my resolve broke … Continue reading →

Posted on March 10, 2018 by baudattitude

So, I’ve been quite a fan of Enmasse’s TERA MMORPG for the last several years.  I got on-board at launch, went MMO-crazy as one does with a new obsession and played almost nothing else for several months, then retired it … Continue reading →

I have, on occasion, rambled on about how nice it is that you don’t need to own multiple consoles in this generation.  While both the PS4 and Xbox One have a fair number of unique games, there’s a really nice … Continue reading →
