The Witness

As some of you know I started to play The Witness last week which is a 3D puzzle game made by Jonathan Blow (same guy that made Braid a couple of years ago). I had no idea what to expect when I started to play it because I hadn’t read anything about it. The only thing I saw about the game before shot_2013.10.14__time_11_14_n11we started to play it was a picture of a puzzle and thought that the game could be fun for me and Bummi to play and we sure did! We got hooked straight away and enjoyed it a lot!

The way that they have designed the game is that you learn how to play by solving puzzles without them really giving you any instructions. The first puzzles are very easy but just shows you the mechanics and what the goal is and then it gets harder and harder. You can walk freely around in the world so if you get stuckIMG_5037 somewhere or don’t think you know the rules for the puzzle yet you can just go somewhere else! The picture of the puzzle is one of the first puzzles where you just learn that the goal is to get from the start (lower-left corner) to the end (top-right corner).

Me and Bummi are having a friend from Stockholm over for the weekend so we are gonna go to pick her up soon at the train station. Gonna play some board games later today, our latest addition to the collection and our current favorite one is called Mysterium!

Looking forward to our first game in the captains draft tournament next Monday. It’s always fun to get to play some new lineups that you never saw before! 🙂

Cheers,

Upcoming games tab

Hey all!

First of all I have to tell you guys that I went to the gym today because otherwise it doesn’t count, right? 🙂 Was quite some time ago I was there the last time, been sick and just lazy so it’s time to change that again!

Just wanted to point out that I’m going to try to keep the tab that says “Upcoming games” as updated as possible. I know a lot of you want to know when we have our games and sometimes it’s only us who knows when a game is postponed or if something happened so I’m gonna give it a try to keep you guys updated there. We’ll see how it goes.. 🙂

First post on my new blog!

Hey everyone and sorry for the lack of updates!

My contract expired with TV6 in the end of 2015 so that is the reason I haven’t blogged there anymore. I still like to write and tell you guys what’s going on once in a while though so that’s why I started this blog instead! 🙂

There hasn’t been any games for you to watch lately and the reason for that is that we wanted to focus and practice for the Major. We are still playing the captains draft tournament though and our first game is supposed to be in a week on February 8th. Even though that tournament isn’t as “serious” as the normal ones (because of the mode) I still think it’s good practice!

Been playing “The Witness” a bit the past week. Hadn’t read anything about the game before I bought it but I really love it! It’s a puzzle game and is available for PS4 and PC so if you like puzzles I would recommend it! 🙂

Cheers,
Akke
