Halloween in Truck Simulator

I have been kind of wanting an excuse to go back to American Truck Simulator recently and they have a new little Halloween event going on, so it seemed like a good excuse. I think it ends November 15th. I meed to keep an eye out for the next sale on maps, because Illinois comes soon, and I need at least Wyoming and St Louis to make that work, since I have Colorado. The event is running in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Rewards work in both games. I have run the missions in both games.…

More on Infinity Nikki

 Ok, that blog topic is kind of lame.  Maybe it needs some more brainstorming.  Something I have become a bit aware of, the more I play through this game, its a lot larger than I expected.  I am actually not entirely sure how some people are so far along because I feel like I have been playing it a LOT and as near as I can tell, I am maybe 1/4th of the way through the current content.  Maybe I am way wrong, but I am on I think Chapter 2, and I want to say there are 8 chapters…

So, around a week or so ago, I got a random notification that my app, Infinity Nikki, had been installed on my phone.  I had not installed that app, but apparently at some point had pre-registered to play this game.  It's probably a good thing, because I had completely forgotten about it and probably would have never bothered trying it.  I then proceeded to discover that it's also available on PC, which is way better than playing on my phone for this sort of game, so I moved over there. But enough about that, I had forgot about this game,…

Palia – Getting to Know the Locals

Now that I have a house going and some income as a farmer, the next big step in this new world is to get to know the locals. Aside from building up your plot of land, you have the nearby town full of people to build an actual plot of story. Well, "full" is kind of a stretch. There are maybe 2 dozen or so people living there each more or less with a specialty of some kind, and each with some sort of eccentric personality trait. I'm not real sure how the economy here survives, or whom is buying…

Palia – Getting Established

So I've established a house, next order of business is to fancy things up. Well, more to start, leveling up skills. In order to be able to fancy things up. One of the main aspects of this game is crafting, and almost everything you gather feeds into this. There are several different skills to work on and level, some seem to be more useful than others. Tree Chopping - Almost everything needs wood or minerals to be constructed. Seems like there will be a lot of tree shopping going on. Mining - Like chopping, mining is a pretty regularly needed…
