Around The Web - I do Hardware Reviews Now?

I really didn't expect that getting through my PAX East previews would take two months. Yikes! But now that it's finally done, it's time to get back to writing some reviews. And travel reports, and more motorcycle articles...

Anyway, first up were a couple of reviews.

I first encountered Light Fall at PAX South last year and was instantly hooked. When the game came up for review in April, I was quite excited to review and stream it. I'm happy to say that it didn't disappoint.

I'll admit to a healthy amount of skepticism regarding Gunnar Optiks' products. While I definitely see the need for computer glasses (and use them regularly), the one pair of Gunnars that I tried years ago didn't really impress me, and the price put me off even more. Not that I would have turned down a free pair, but since I was spending my own money, I chose a much cheaper pair of drugstore reading glasses instead.

Fast forward to PAX East, and a conversation at the Gunnar booth which ended with "Give these a try." If seeing is believing, then I'm a believer now.

Let's Play Light Fall, Act II

Continuing last week's adventure, here's Act II of Light Fall



There's only one act left. However, due to some patch issues, that video's going to have to wait a bit. Next will will have something a little different.

Let's Play Light Fall, Act I

Following up last week's Light Fall Prologue, here's Act I of my Light Fall playthrough.




One of the things I really enjoy about this game is that the difficulty ramps up at a very reasonable pace. Act I is reasonably more difficult than the Prologue, and introduces a couple of new concepts. Act II, as we'll see next week, follows a similar formula, while revealing more about the world and the big adventure therein.

Let's Play: Light Fall, Act Prologue

Starting a new Wednesday series for the next few weeks as I play through Light Fall, a gorgeous new action platformer from five person indie developer Bishop Games.



I first discovered this game at PAX South last year (2017) and have been eagerly awaiting its release ever since. It's got a great story, a lovely art aesthetic, and the folks at Bishop Games are some genuinely nice people who've been putting in a lot of hours supporting their game.
