Been a minute since I posted! Lots of exciting things coming down the pipe for Chats with Rad, though– I’m adding a custom logo and avatar to my social media channels, and plan on streaming some video games in the near future! Hopefully, it’ll be in time for the World of Warcraft expansion: Battle for Azeroth. I’ll keep everyone posted! Moonlighter Oh, Moonlighter. You filled up an entire weekend where I binged thee! I was chomping at the bit for…
RADar is a new feature, comin’ hot off the Rad pun express! In this feature, I’ll be touching on games that may not be on your RADar! These games will include both recently released games and games that are releasing soon– similar to my woot posts, but taking on a more ‘Rad LIsted’ vibe where I only briefly touch on the games. Frostpunk Frostpunk is the latest game from developer 11 Bit Studios. This is one of my favorite developers,…
It’s been awhile since I did a good ol’ Rad Listed! For the uninitiated, Rad listed is a nice short write up, where I write up a quick few sentences about every game I’ve been playing lately with some quick anecdotes. This time, we have quite a lineup, and I even wanted to touch on a couple board games I’ve been really into lately, too! Without further ado, here are the games I’ve been playing lately: God of War Wow……
It’s been five years since the latest God of War installment, and here comes 2018 with a new entry to the series! Not only that, this isn’t a reboot like many speculated at first– it’s an actual continuation of the God of War story! Whatever will Kratos do after he destroyed an entire pantheon of Gods? I suppose he has no choice but to bring the fight to a whole other pantheon! What else is a Kratos to do? When…
In recent years, I have discovered a new gaming hobby away from the keyboard and controller: that of unique board games and card games–specifically, deck-building games. Deck-building games are a new genre that have become insanely popular in the last few years, spawning a plethora of options to choose from. Deck-building games are generally designed to have 2-4 players. In a deck-building game, you start with a small, underpowered deck that you build as the game progresses. You build your…
Mortal Kombat X I still recall playing the first Mortal Kombat on my Sega Genesis in 1992. It was my first introduction to a fighting game, but also my first introduction to my father and I spewing trash talk at each other. An introduction to Mortal Kombat also resulted in me playing just about every other fighting game out there, such as Virtual Fighter, Tekken, Street Fighter, Killer Instinct, Soul Caliber, and even Clay Fighter. In high school, my friends…
After a long five year period with barely a whiff of a Fallout 4 announcement — we finally have one! Not that there was any doubt it was being made, but it sure seemed grim for a while there. Bethesda kept a tight lid on the very existence of the popular series’ next iteration, not even commenting on the Fallout 4 website hoax back in December 2013. Don’t lie, it tricked you, too! The trailer itself is chock-full of referential…
The Witcher 1 was released in October 2007, back when I had the oldest, jankiest PC imaginable. I’m shocked the game even ran on my old rig that I had been upgrading piecemeal for over five years! Despite the terrible performance granted by my archaic machine, I became a rabid fan of the game. The Witcher hooked me with its interesting storytelling, mature settings, the brutal fast-paced combat, and a world full of shades of gray where no decision ever…
Slim week this week, as I’ve been mostly focusing on one game: the much-anticipated Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt! Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt My oh my! I have not been so enamored with a game since Skyrim! The storytelling, the combat, the music, and even the card game, Gwent, all have me hooked. The Witcher 3 is unparalleled when it comes to creating a large world while remaining dense with interesting characters, quests, and environments. This may be the…
Rocksteady’s next game is finally coming out! After a four year development cycle, we’ll be seeing the fruit of their labors on June 23rd in the form of Batman: Arkham Knight, the sequel to the 2011 hit: Arkham City. Sadly, Arkham Knight will be closing the book on Rocksteady’s involvement in the Batman series, along with the end to the Arkham Trilogy. This new iteration is chock-full of new features; including better traversal mechanics, a game world five times…
