Streams will be starting up again soon. Whilst I was planning to kick them off with Star Wars Zero Company, I've had a copy of The Blood of Dawnwalker fall into my lap, so that's going to be first up. Can't wait!

Heading out to watch The Odyssey later so just time to squeeze in a quick Enshrouded stream first! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxyW...

A new HOI 4 series starts today, my Argentina campaign as I play through all the nations A-Z in the game. With the South America DLC this one should be fun! youtu.be/OrhyA_xw1Tw

Just started a new playthrough of Grand Tactician: The Civil War 1861-1865. This time I've made a few tweaks to the settings and values to hopefully make for a better, more balanced campaign. Oh and I'll be playing through as the Union. Love me some ACW stuff! youtu.be/wM0pX_TB52o?...

The designers of the new Youtube creators page where you manage your videos and used to able to see important statuses at a glance have clearly never had to use it, or bothered to ask creators what they want. It's awful.

I haven't played Halo's campaign since I owned an original Xbox but I bet if I played the new campaign remake I could remember the layout of all the levels even after all these years. And yet I can't remember where I put my phone down an hour ago. Priorities!

I'll be live today playing some Enshrouded - a fantasy survival game. It'll good to be back :)

The world-ending thunderstorm that is currently raging overhead will hopefully bring with it the end to the ridiculous temperatures we've had in the UK this week and I'll finally be able to get back to streaming and recording without broiling myself alive in my studio.

More Descent on the stream today, with Crimson Desert lined up next and soon... the Gothic Remake! I'm especially looking forward to the latter as I never played it first time around.

About to go live with Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent. You may have seen my gameplay from the demo already, but this is a full dive into this dungeon crawler based on the old Descent boardgames. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IddE...

New Hearts of Iron 4 playthrough - Albania! This is going to be tough and will require some very specific tactics and choices to pull off anything that even vaguely resembles a win :D youtu.be/xc3BWnzI8pU

Had a panic this morning when I couldn't view or respond to comments on my Youtube channel as it had been put in restricted mode. Thankfully it turned out to just be an over-zealous update to Chrome I think, it sorted itself out without any input from me.

On todays stream we'll be taking a first look at Outward 2. Some of you may recall me and Aimless streaming the first game - a fun blend of rpg & survival in a rather unique world. This is still in early access but I'm curious to see how it turns out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpVg...

What do you think of the new Masters of the Universe movie? I actually enjoyed it, despite the cringe and the parody of modern man.

First look at Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent, a dungeon crawling RPG based loosely on the boardgames. youtu.be/Z-6qmkB_xpM

Baking hot in the UK today! Also a public holiday so I'll be chilling round the bbq with the family and back tomorrow. Have a great Monday!

Some thoughts on my time playing The Outer Worlds 2 and how it (and my money) could have been put to better use. youtu.be/PtbwGe5mjag

I have a rare evening home alone so its time to get some more Crimson Desert in! Live in 5 :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gyt...

A first and brief look at an upcoming historical wargame - Veterans: Napoleonic Wars. It's still early in development but when finished should play like the ACW Ultimate General games. youtu.be/9b8Qmzm5e64

While I'm struggling to get to grips with the controls in Crimson Desert, I've got this constant urge to just load it up and play more. It's nice to sometimes not have to worry about following a story and just go off and do stuff. I'm sure I'll get the hang of the controls eventually.

Live in 30 minutes with my first time playing Crimson Desert! This looks huuuge! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX7l... Also on Twitch of course.

Here we go, it's been a long time coming! My Hearts of Iron 4 Afghanistan adventure begins! youtu.be/wHmz0J1JHlo?...

Sorry for the long hiatus, I hope to be back to normal over the next few days and resuming streams and videos. Starting with today! A chill Bellwright stream later just to look back in on that while I pick up a new game for next week.

Solasta 2 looks like it's going to be another fun DnD adventure and when multiplayer is added it'll be high on my list to stream. Here are my first impressions of the game from the bit of early access gameplay I've sampled: youtu.be/rRGIgGgOtIs

Youtube seems to be borked today, I'm getting closed captions turning themselves on for every video and advert.

Free Game Alert! Isonzo, the WW1 shooter, is free to grab from Epic at the moment. Gives me that "Day of Defeat" vibe from yesteryear! store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/isonzo

Live in 5 checking out Solasta 2! The game is still in early access but as I enjoyed the first game I'm looking forward to more DnD shenanigans! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mWE...

To say my week is anot quite going as planned would be something of an understatement 😆

Plans for a new HOI 4 series and more... youtu.be/XHwLkslSjDI

My thoughts and initial impressions on Windrose, which has the potential to be the best pirate game to come out since AC4: Black Flag. I'm quite impressed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8fp...

Windrose looks pretty good! I'll check it out further tomorrow but so far I'm enjoying it.

Late start today as I've just downloaded a ton of demo's to try out, stream and make videos of over the next few days. Hopefully something for everyone across both channels. We start today at 4pm with Windrose, a survival game set in the age of piracy. Yarrrr! ☠️☠️☠️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhig...

Work on the house was finished earlier than expected so I'll be live this afternoon as usual. More Bellwright! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nAN...

Back to Bellwright on today's stream, I have some plans to build a trade network of outposts across the map. Will this be added to the ever-growing list of stupid ideas I come up with, or will it be an empire-spanning masterclass in trade development?

I think todays stream of Outer Worlds 2 will be my last, I'll finish it off-stream before reviewing it. Back to either Bellwright or Tainted Grail later this week. OW2 had potential, and it has a high production value (graphics, speech etc) but sadly has no depth.

More Outer Worlds 2 today. Let's see if I can actually SEE what I'm shooting at today among all the sparks/lightning/fire/flashing lights everywhere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0fM...

Live in 10 minutes playing the eagerly awaited (at least by me!) The Outer Worlds 2. I've been in need of a sci-fi and guns fix for ages! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y16o... Also on Twitch of course.

A quick look at Ground of Aces, a World War 2 airbase sim (sort of). If enough people like it I'll do a full series and playthrough. I think it's fun! youtu.be/m7Jz4fTTAoE @blindflugstudios.bsky.social

Started a new run on Master of Command as France. Upped the difficulty (and it shows!) and aiming to play an army focused on giving 'em the bayonet! So far its fun! youtu.be/VrqjpU9YZ_0?...

Had a rebuild of my studio. What started as an afternoon project took me 4 days 😆

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far! We're going at the end of March, just wish it could be sooner!

I'm halfway through restructuring my studio, so no stream today while I get everything put back in place and plugged in.

Have to say I thought the Masters of the Universe trailer looked pretty good!

Free Games Alert! The Styx games, Master of Shadows and Shards of Darkness, are currently free to grab from Epic. If you're into goblin stealth-em-ups then they should be right up your street! store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/styx... store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/styx...

Damn, internal storage prices for PC's have shot up! I guess I picked the wrong day to try and install all that Steam backlog!
