How To Murder Time

This time we’re talking about Warframe, Elite Dangerous and moaning about too long games. Video Version:

We’re back with a roundup of the weekly groups and a chat about game difficulty.

This week we talk about Forza 7, Thargoids in Elite Dangerous and some mobile games that stopped Tim from getting bored on a walking holiday.

This week we’ve been playing more games, but Tim wasn’t a cylon this time. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Rise of Industry Warframe Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock Lords of Waterdeep

This week Jon has been finding out what the later game in Slime Rancher is like as well as throwing bikes at steep slopes in Trials Fusion while Tim has been playing Endless Legends and the Tabletop Simulator group is continuing.

We’re joined again by Toerag to talk about our latest Hugo novel, which this time is Ringworld by Larry Niven. There’s a large ring around a sun and so a team is assembled to go investigate it in a book that dominates the genre of big stupid objects in space.

This time Tim talks about the list of winning Hugo novels this year and looks at how they compare to his choices, Jon has been playing Slime Rancher and Patapon while Tim has been playing Warframe, Path of Exile and Tabletop Simulator. 00:00 Hugo winners 2017 10:55 Slime Rancher 16:50 Warframe 29:50 Patapon, Skyrim and […]

This week Jon has been learning how to play football with Behold the Kickmen and how to run a kingdom with Kingdoms and Castles. Castles and Kingdoms. Towns and Castles. Avenues and Alleyways. One of those titles, it’s a very forgettable name. Meanwhile Tim has gone to Earth in Elite and actually finished Guildwars. Or […]

This week Tim is rounding up the nightly groups while Jon has been playing Kane and Lynch 2, which is without doubt the worse game that he’s played in… forever and getting annoyed at Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Time spent the night in a ditch (on purpose), Jon played Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Tim finished Obduction, and Jon tried out Grow Up. Tim has also read an awful lot of books so there’s a wrap up of the Hugo finalists for this year.

This week we are joined again by Toerag as we tackle the next in our Hugo award winning books: The City & The City by China Miéville, which won the award in 2010. When a murder takes place, Inspector Tyador Borlú, of the Extreme Crime Squad in the European city-state of Besźel, investigates the murder […]

This week the Friday group has moved onto Eclipse as their boardgame of choice in Tabletop Simulator, Tim has finished Mad Max and Jon has been playing The Crew and been very annoyed by it.

This week we’re complaining that Borderlands 2 is too long, rounding up the static group progress and playing Little Nightmares.

This week we’ve both been playing Mad Max and we have a chat about how many games you can get from subscriptions each month, and how much that’s stopping us buying new games.

This week it’s the return of the Hugo award winning book show. Not that we won a Hugo, the books did. We weren’t even nominated even though Tim could have done it if he really wanted but considered it crass to nominate ourselves. The book the week is Neuromancer, the 1984 novel by William Gibson […]

This week Tim has been off walking and is now paying the price and the group has been smuggling things in Elite. Jon has been playing the Hot Wheels DLC in Forza Horizon 3 and it’s as insane as it sounds, and has also been playing Thimbleweed Park which is just as mad as you’d […]

This week we’ve been playing Late Shift, which is a fully FMV game, Remember Me, which isn’t, Path of Exile and Dawn of War 3.

This week we’ve been looking at generation ships in Elite Dangerous, building ships in Space Engineers, hitting things in Guns of Icarus and wondering how unbalanced a boardgame can actually be with Warhammer 40k Lost Patrol.

This week we’re talking about why the Division is no longer being played, why The Witness was good but pretentious and why the Bloodborne card game is better that you would expect. Then there’s some 40k talk as GW have gone mad and continue to do things right, and they also announced 8th edition just […]

It’s time for another Hugo award winning book, and this month Toerag has picked The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It’s the tale of a boy who grows up in a graveyard and is our second book ostensibly aimed at children. How does it fare against the usual books that win?
