I named my first Argentavis after a cute Twitch streamer. Morgcules. She wasn't into Ark but it was fun to play Ark and mind her channel's chat while she played wtv. Seemed to fit since it was a massive, powerful, very strong willed creature.. and the bird looked pretty tough too :p

Not to long after I got another.. Morgcules the Two'th. Would have worked...

So I'm all like there's not much to do and it has been like a week. Of course people have put months into Ark, or have been playing since it was first available a couple of years ago, and keep playing it every day.. so even the people that play solo on vanilla and primitive and primitive+ must be getting somewhere.

It's the grind. I...

And it hasn't even been that long but I'm wondering again about how this game isn't finished. It isn't refined and none of the core complaints I had when I started playing have changed. They keep adding new creatures and stuff but what about finishing and refining the controls, menus, and animations? Or is this it for retail?

Given that the game has released on...

As a gamer this brings up a few things. Something like didn't Watch_Dogs talk about Chicago needing technology to fight crime? and David Jones' Crackdown (mostly cops) and the police and criminals game called APB, And GTA, mostly criminals. What's with Chicago getting so much fame for the country needing to focus on their crime problem as if that's going to magically turn that city's...

Well the short version is I got my survivor killed finally.

Between yesterday and today I lost all of the tames I started the game with after updating the game last week. Sure some of the new shit is great.. This is still Ark. I make progress and it says time for another set back. And I managed to kill her twice in a row...

No Nanophoenix for Ps4 this week. Watched a couple of shows, The Bureau and The Expanse season two's first two episodes. Just don't feel like running more bounties in Destiny. Attacked Ark instead.

So.. I just found out that Ark has a gator. Or rather the bigger Sacro gator has a smaller much assholier cousin, which I only ever had an issue with the...

New update for Ark v254.51 or something is up.. I haven't played since version 251.. or back in November. But I'm sure it has been much longer than that.

I launched in and found my little adobe hut in the valley in the middle of the Scorched Earth desert. I didn't even get that far into Scorched earth before getting back to Destiny's Rise of...

So has been a little bit since I watched the movie Arrival after seeing that tweet by Rachelle Lefevre.

Since then the most notable thing has been that Rachel Adams got snubbed (also Kimi no Na Wa) by the Oscars.

:/ So?

The director goes on record as saying he put the movie on her shoulders. Not a great idea because the role wasn't that...

So after revisiting Planetary Annihilation and seeing that it did indeed model planets, moons, and orbits.. I've been wondering... Can there be a game that models stars, asteroid fields, commentary fields, real distances, practical exploration, supernovae, and still have the regular base building stuff but just on massive scale to accommodate the real sizes of planets and stars. Like a Spore 2 from EA...

Rachelle LeFevre (Under The Dome) tweeted that she liked the movie Arrival.

So I watched it on my phone to find out IF it was actually good or not. I'm a dome fan because of her mostly but after watching the movie.. I don't know.. it is kind of silly.

Actually.. spoilers, the way the Science focused father reacted is probably how I would have...

The more I hear about Mass Effect the more I don't want to hear about Mass Effect and that's when I already didn't want to hear anything about Mass Effect.

:/

The original was announced in the heyday of Halo. Just when I left my innocence behind and started working as a game tester.. I spent the money I had to, to buy...

Edited and expanded a bit:

Why do people even like dumb 'video games' so much?

I mean the candy coated bullshit that has no meaning because every aspect of it is rounded and doughy and soft so that there's little actual thought provoking worth to them.

Spore could have been a much better evolution simulator except that the voices within Maxis that wanted the game...
