Gaming at 4K update: Star Trek Online Still On Top
Since I got my 4K TV/monitor, I’ve been experimenting with games that can run at 4K resolution (3840×2160@30 Hz in my case). As I noted in my last post, Star Trek Online works very well at 4K. I’ve continued to play STO at 4K and couldn’t be more impressed. It looks good at that resolution…

Killzone Shadow Fall is pretty, but stupid
Let’s say you just defeated your enemy by blowing up his planet. Then, apparently feeling guilt, you give the enemy refugees half your planet, because, hey, what could go wrong? I mean you have a (presumably small) population that hates you to the death and not just because you blew up their planet, so it’ll…

Knack is my favorite Playstation 4 game so far
I bought 3 games for my PS4 thanks to Amazon’s buy-2-get-1-free sale: Knack, Killzone: Shadow Fall, and Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. I haven’t even opened AssCreed, but have tried both Killzone and Knack, and like Knack quite a bit. I’m not normally a platformer kinda guy, but Knack is very well done, mostly fun,…

PS4 Impressions After a Full Day
I’ve had my Playstation 4 since Friday afternoon and have had a good chance to work with it and can give my impressions. When I first hooked it up on Friday, I had planned to manually perform the required Day 1 patch from the patch file that I had on a USB flash drive. It…

My Love/Hate Relationship with Borderlands 2
Having played and thoroughly enjoyed Borderlands 2 when it first came out, I bought the Season Pass, but let the game languish as I played a few other games, had health issues that totally ruined my gaming ability for a while, and kept up with my Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) and Star Trek…

Two #LOTRO Videos: Mounted Minstrel and Michel Delving Horse Race
I took two videos in LOTRO recently and thought I would share them. The first is very short. I was experimenting with NVidia’s ShadowPlay in LOTRO and happened to turn it on just as a not very bright mounted orc started attacking me. I’m posting this to show how dangerous a mounted Minstrel can be.…

Saints Row IV Powers Video using NVIDIA ShadowPlay
Yesterday I mentioned some of the awesomely fun powers the player has in Saints Row IV. Well today, I have a video showing it. This also gives me a chance to try out NVIDIA’s excellent new ShadowPlay feature. In the video below, my character (I don’t normally play female characters, but SR4 allows you to…

Finished Saints Row IV and Liked It
I finished Saints Row IV and the DLC Enter the Dominatrix on my PC and liked it a lot. Enter the Dominatrix ended up being fairly amusing and had some cute flashbacks to Saints Row 3. Overall, the game had lots of humor, tremendous swearing, and fun. Since the majority of the game happens in…

On the Importance of Game Controller Support
I was somewhat out of gaming action for medical reasons for more than a month. During that time, I was pretty much unable to use keyboard and mouse to play games. I was, however, able to use my Xbox 360 controller for Windows to play games that supported it. And that led me to discover…

Thirst for Power LOTRO kinship website removed
I’ve taken down the Thirst for Power website for lack of use. All it seemed to get were spam posts advertising fake designer bags. Since the kinship is similarly a ghost town, I don’t think anyone but me will miss it.
