What I Played Today: August 23

Endless Space

I keep on trying to play Endless Space, and am having a really hard time because the CPU continues to have much better spaceships than me and are able to kick me around quite easily, sapping most of my resources within in the first 30 turns or so. How do I play this game, this is hard?

What I Played Today: March 16

Endless Space, Little Inferno

I realized there was a strategy game that I had purchased that I hadn't played at all. So I booted it up and played for hours. You are in space, and you have an empire. The space is hardly endless. But there are a lot of interesting little things here, with the way that you colonize planets, and the way combat works by playing Pokemon cards, basically, but once I met an AI character and saw the extent of his empire, I immediately realized that I was doing it wrong, and had absolutely no chance of winning. Must start over.

Also had Little Inferno re-recommended to me, a game in which you basically burn things. That's it, but it also had this weird plotline in which it's always snowing and the ever-present evil corporation wants you to light all your things on fire...

Anyway, I mainly spent my time using the "My Pictures" feature to put a picture from my library in the game and setting it aflame. Weirdly cathartic.

Endless Space

I bought a 4X game, Endless Space, and played maybe a couple dozen turns. It was okay. Just okay. I've got nothing to say about it.
