Let’s Play Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

So, we’re now doing another horror Let’s Play, the wonderful and sadly much under-rated Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. These days, because it doesn’t run ideally on modern hardware, it’s difficult to find videos of this game looking like it should, or without people complaining that it’s “buggy”.

As an aside, we’re running the game on a machine we’ve specifically kept for Call of Cthulhu – it’s an older Windows PC, running XP, with an old Nvidia graphics card. Otherwise some of the problems you can have are: the rain doesn’t render correctly, the skybox doesn’t render at all, and portions of the game that require the skybox later on to work aren’t playable. There may be more minor problems, but these are the big noticable ones.

Finally, we have the first set of episodes.

October 2014 GlossyBox Video Review

An un-boxing and review of my GlossyBox, the UK October 2014 edition – this has actually been up for a while. I just completely forgot to link the video here.

I’m also still going to be doing a picture post where I talk about the items having been able to use them for a few weeks. And soon we’ll be getting the November box – looking forward to it.

Let’s Play Final Fantasy XIII

So, here we are with a new and unexpected Let’s Play. We had planned on doing both (or either) The Darkness on PS3, or Calling on the Wii next, but have sadly been plagued by some technical problems, and then lost some files.

In the mean time, Final Fantasy XIII was released on PC via Steam – we thought this was very interesting, especially since we struggled with getting post game completion on the PS3 edition. So we decided to LP that instead in a more casual way.

Click after the cut for the first week worth of parts.

Boots & SuperDrug Haul – Autumn 2014

A new YouTube video, a new format. A haul video of some recent purchases. I don’t expect this type of video to happen often, since I prefer being more reserved with money, but it’s been fun to try out a new format.

Soon, there will be a video showing off the items in this haul video. Until next time.
