Hello everyone!

So recently I have been playing a new game, FTL, it is a space-ship simulator and essentially it is a game where you have to fly through space, manage your ships crew members and systems and fight off other ships.

FTL stands for "Faster Than Light", which is the system each ship uses in the game to travel through space. The game starts off with you selecting a ship (you only get one ship to start of with, but unlock more as you go), after selecting your ship you also get the option to rename your ship and rename crew (this is the fun part as you get to rename them to whatever you want, from friends names to famous sci-fi characters). Also there are more options to select which layout you want for the ship but that comes later once you have played a bit and did some of the achievements.

The game is great fun with a very fun and unique game-play style and mechanic. You manage the ship's system with crew as well as fight the enemies. The music in the game is also fantastic and very fitting to the atmosphere.

Overall, FTL is a great game and well worth the spend. The game is exciting and hilarius at the same time, with the hint of infuriating when you get defeated and killed.

Enjoy!
Nathan

Hello everyone!

Well as the title says, should I start streaming or shouldn't I...? I want to ask out to the community, as I know that streaming and recording is a big thing right now. A lot of people have become famous and even become a celebrity through these venues.

I only ask as it does seem like an exciting and fun venture that I would love to participate in. But saying this, I have no clue on what to do and what I need. I have a good headset and microphone, but that is all :D

If you want to see some gameplay recording or streaming, comment below and if you know how or what I need, feel free to comment that too :D

If in the near future, I might just post a video up :D

Well once again, thanks for reading, feel free to comment and post messages on feedback and what-not.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to tell you about a game that I am and will be looking forward too, the game is Edge of Space (EoS), a game developed by The HandyMan . The game is a "Kickstarter" Project, which got community support for it to lift off and now is closing to release in October.

The game is a is a 2D Sandbox, where you can survive, fight, explore, terraform, dig and build. The game looks like it has a very reminences Terraria feel. You are a member of an elite group of survivors/company known as ArkCo.

Here is the initial Kickstarter project which got this amazing game off and going.

Hello everyone!

I firstly like to introduce myself to everyone, my name is Nathan, but everyone calls me Nate. Nice to meet everyone!

A little about myself, I am an avid gamer and I have been since I got could use the Super Nintendo controller. I currently am studying at university, hoping to get my university degrees. Nevertheless, on the side, my hobbies are gaming, comics and movies.

Gaming wise, I have, more or less, owned every console when growing up. I think of the few, the Sony line of console products have always been my favourite, with the exception of the PlayStation Go, which I thought was the biggest worst of money. I currently immersed in PC gaming, very much neglecting my poor consoles, but that's because a lot of great games are releasing onto PC.

On the PC, the games that I am currently playing include:

• Sniper Elite V2
• League of Legends (LoL)
• Dota 2 (Defense of the Ancients)
• Day Z (ARMA 2: Combined Operation mod)
• Awesomenauts
• The Binding of Isaac
• Smite

The games that I am currently waiting for include:

• Starbound
• Edge of Space
• GTAV (which looks incredible)
• Day Z Standalone (was lookng forward to "The War Z" but since this announcement, I probably will not buy it)
• The Dead Linger
• Zombie Playground
• Splinter Cell: Blacklist

I am also a big comic, I love to read my comics. I am a big DC fanboy, and love their comic releases, especially Superman, Batman, Superman and Batman, Green Lantern and The Flash. I am not really big on the Marvel comic universe as much as I am with the DC universe, but the the hero I do like and enjoy reading is Spiderman, he always has a special place in my heart.

And some of you might be wondering why I have the Cooking Mama display picture, well that's because I LOVE Cooking Mama, I have all of her games, she is, and I quote, "Wonderful~!"

I am not a streamer or video uploader, but I am trying to get into it, so if you have any tips or pointers feel free to comment below. Any and every help will be appreciated.

I will try and post something weekly, about games or something related.

Well this is the start of my blogs, I hope you guys enjoyed the read, as I certainly enjoyed typing this out. If you ever want to play games or just want to talk games or comics or even movies, feel free to add me on Desura, Steam, or even Skype.

Feel free to comment below.

Thanks!
Nathan
