Breakable Objects: The Video Game. The exploration is pretty cool, especially when you find more things to break objects with.

Don't click.

A manhunter decided my seasoned martial artist scout "looks like an escaped slave. Or not. Doesn't matter." Up until that point I'd been considering having another squadie come from across the continent to help occupy the Beak Things (Gutters) while I nicked some of their valuable eggs.

But now, I had a solution. So, I ran super fast away until he lost my track. Double-backed and knocked him out. Carried his unconscious body toward a massive Beak Thing nest and set him down. They tossed his body around for a bit and eventually started eating him while I nicked all their eggs for a massive profit.


I'm about 147 hours into Kenshi and still haven't touched the vast majority of this game. I finally dove into the base-building aspect and it's like a whole other game. There are so many ways to play, and I'm still running into interactions that surprise me. Good stuff.

This is a nifty video game. Or, A Delightful Excursion Thru Blissful Tedium And Exultation.

I'm a dumb idiot moron with the insatiable desire to beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of perceived enemies and watch numbers going up.

This idle game is pretty cool.

I wish there were more (modern) Immortal Redneck's and Ziggurat's.

Table is actually rather entertaining, but it's incredibly annoying to attempt highscores. Transition sequences last far too long even with the speed-up function of holding flippers/launcher. Unfair ballouts. Annoying ramp layouts. Characters walk across the screen, blocking view.

It's good for the Deadpool gimmick. Otherwise, it combines my least-favorite features/cons of Pinball FX2 all in one table. Totally worth purchasing on sale if you're a Deadpool fan however, or looking to up your superscore thing. Otherwise, there are legitimately good single-tables that go on sale for the same price.

I have wasted at least half a year's worth of hours on this game during my life. It's one of the games I point to when someone asks me about PC gaming, and why I'm a PC gamer (along with: Wing Commander series, Baldur's Gate series, Age of Empires series (♥♥♥♥ 3 IMO), most of the Sid Meier's games, among others).

This game epitomizes what I consider to be PC gaming. I figure other people can explain it better than me, so I'm gonna just give some examples:


My favorite server (from the past, I think it's gone now?): 17th Parallel. It was Soccer with Subspace Continuum mechanics. The main game was fun, but they'd also host events (separate from the main pub). Some would be completely different from the main game, like a huge mothership (controlled by one player) with X amount of turrets (other players) trying to find a new planet with an enemy fleet (other players) attack. ♥♥♥♥ could get intense, and was always fun for the amount of time spent hosting. There would be bots set up in different "pubs" (or maps within the specific server) which you could use to help challenge other players to duels. Or they'd automatically host other kinds of events.


Desert Storm server. Dude, this server was the most fun I've had in any game ever... Every ship was turned into a different kind of infantry unit (machine guns, bazooka, sniper, etc). Several control points ("buildings", key strategic spots, etc) with an assortment of spawn areas dotted across the map that unlocked/locked depending on which control points were held. And the body count would rise to a righteous degree, the killing, the war, the blooooood... We'd spend hours having the most epic battles ever. You'd acquire coins and XP for getting kills (more with killing sprees) and helping capture control points. XP unlocked soldier types (sniper, bazooka, etc), and other things like Rank, new catagories to purchase from, etc. But the real thing was the coins. Spend those and you could have a tank. Or nuke the enemy team. Or whatever else. All this could turn the tide in the endless war. Instead of losing, your team would go to victory.

And that's just two servers. Subspace Continuum is definitely worth your time. It's on another level entirely. Some servers have steep learning curves. Others simple to learn, kinda hard (but not really) to master. Once you get into it, it'll be your new addiction.

All of this, and more, for free.

[NOTE: Review will become more in-depth in the future]

A trippy experience, reminds me of days long past watching old Science Fiction B-movies and Twilight Zone. And some of my favorite Sci-Fi authors, such as Isaac Asimov and Philip K ♥♥♥♥. Flying around in a planetship is excessive fun, though your mileage may vary.

There's a kind of crafting system in this game, where you utilize the periodic table (disclaimer: You don't need to know anything about science, though it might help as the game is very intuitive science-wise. Ex: You'll find gasses in nebulous clouds, heavy metals in asteroids, etc). With crafting, you can make things or conduct research with the available elements.

Through research, you can affect the lives of those inhabiting the planetship. Research also interacts with events that occur outside of your ship. For instance, I researched something that increased repopulation exponentially. While flying around, some of our food supply got infected by a fungi. I could have dropped it, or the option I chose: Try it out as a food source! It had a reaction with our reproductive breakthrough, which allowed for spores to grow and detach from their parents to become offspring. Offspring who doubled as a food source.

Sometimes you'll come across old satellites from Earth, endlessly broadcasting whatever video footage was placed on them.

There's so much more. Infinite cubes, hostile planets, pissed off space moths, suns that you can fly into (or thru), black holes, worm holes. And so on.

Not unlike an 80s action movie on a major cocaine binge and pumped up with steroids. Worth the base price. If it's on sale for less, it's a complete and total steal.

Only gripe I have is with the Quick Time Events. I've always had an irrational hatred for that immersion breaker. Despite that, it didn't get in the way of my enjoyment all that much.
