Freelancer: Session 3 now on YouTube

We actually had a decent turnout this week, but if you're one of the people who didn't catch us live, now's your chance to catch up!

This session, we only completed one story mission; if you're uninterested in our chatter and only want to see the story stuff, skip straight to part 2. I'm gonna try in future to get all the jobbing and money-making taken care of between sessions so I can spend more time on story during the show. Also, our internet died for a couple minutes at one point, resulting in the break between parts 2 and 3. Fortunately, nothing vital was missed in that brief hiccup.

In addition to our usual hosts, Melissa joined us! You may have seen her in the chat pane in the past as RowynnGreyy.

Next week, we're back to Good Guy Tex in The Pandora Directive. Freelancer will continue on September 1st.

The Pandora Directive: Session 6 now on YouTube

Our first session of The Pandora Directive on Mission Street is on YouTube! Lots different in the game this time around. Also, folks ran late, so the pregame ran long, and I screwed up a dialogue tree and forgot to save at all yet, so restarting had to happen. The link to the timestamp for the start of the game proper is in the video description of the first part, and I catch back up to the screw-up point near the end of the first part.

Also, lacking sonicstormer again this week. :(

We return to The Pandora Directive on August 25th. Next week, Freelancer.

The Pandora Directive: Session 6

It's Saturday again, so it's time for another episode of Throne of Games! Pregame at 6:45pm CT, game at 7 on our TwitchTV channel.

We begin our final run of The Pandora Directive this week, seeking the best ending. A whole lot plays out differently on this path, so watch for the differences!

Freelancer: Session 2 now on YouTube

Our second session of Freelancer is now on YouTube! Tonight saw a steep increase in the game's difficulty — at least, for me. I'm still pretty new to it, so I wound up dying. A lot. John came to the rescue for one particularly bad mission chain, though, so we were able to proceed.

Next week, we begin The Pandora Directive again, and aim for the Mission Street path, which will net us the good — and canon — ending. We return to Freelancer on August 18th.

Freelancer: Session 1 now on YouTube

Session 1 of Freelancer is now on YouTube. We got as far as California Minor on this run, which feels like not very far in for playing nearly five hours. But this is my first time with this game, and I do get easily distracted by economies. I'm really enjoying it so far; glad John introduced me to it!

We were joined this week by my friend Amanda. Maybe we'll see her on here again sometime!

Next week, due to a scheduling conflict that came up, we'll be playing Freelancer again. The Pandora Directive will return seeking Mission Street, the good and canon ending, on August 11th.

The Pandora Directive: Session 5 now on YouTube

Session 5 of The Pandora Directive is now on YouTube. We cleared all three unique Boulevard of Broken Dreams endings tonight, which means, when we return to the game in two weeks, we'll be starting a run on Mission Street for the canon ending.

Next week, assuming the game installs and runs fine on my computer (older games can be finicky), Freelancer is, indeed, our pick for next game. Brendan will be writing up the intro post for that, since he's actually played the game before. It'll be a totally blind Let's Play on here, for once.

The Pandora Directive: Session 5

It's Saturday! That means it's time for another episode of Throne of Games.

We continue our journey down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams in The Pandora Directive tonight. Preshow begins at 6:45pm CT, with the game at 7. Link to our TwitchTV channel is in the upper-right corner there.

The Pandora Directive: Session 4 now on YouTube

Session 4 of The Pandora Directive is now on YouTube, just a few minutes too long to be split into two parts. We played from the beginning of the game to the beginning of Day 5.

We're aiming for the Boulevard of Broken Dreams path this run, and so far, we're on it. The story is unfolding quite differently this time around — Tex is a bit out of character, but it's much more in line with what you'd expect of noir.

Throne of Games will be taking a break for a few weeks. I have plans for next Saturday night, and I'll be out of town the next two Saturdays. But we'll be back on July 14th with more Bastion, and Tex Murphy will return on July 21st.
