Contributed Post Credit: Pexels If you love gaming, you surely also love winning. And if you want to win faster and more often, you need to have the right gaming skills. Being as accurate as possible is often necessary when you're playing a game, whether you're using a keyboard, mouse, or console controller. Making accurate moves can relate to a lot of things, from how much you're concentrating on your game to how good your hand-eye coordination is.

Classic MS-DOS games, rare board games, and more: my latest Youtube shenanigans

Classic MS-DOS games, rare board games, and more: my latest Youtube shenanigans

Posted inGeek Stuff, Videos, Works by Eric
You may or may not know that I co-host a goofy little Youtube show called Nerd Out With Me, formerly Hours in the Attic. We drink beer and talk about nerd stuff we like, usually older stuff from ye ol' days o' yore. It's fun. I like doing it. And these are some of the recent episodes we did. Fun stuff like our favorite MS-DOS games, a rare early edition of my favorite board game, Axis & Allies, a sneak peek at a totally outlandish B-movie called Attack of the Killer Shrews, and a review of a SUPER COOL indie…

I've been lax in posting recent Hours in the Attic videos because Reasons, so I figured the best way to alleviate my guilt would be to post several at once. Two are board game-related, which is always fun because board games rock, and the third is a bit of Atari 2600 nostalgia. So that's swell. Check them out while I get back to pretending I'm a writer (and don't forget to subscribe):   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKmOnTYEC5M This next one, I don't know how Tig managed to salvage it, because I was just rambling without direction or focus. That's what years worth of loving this…

As mentioned in a previous post, I recently had the chance to do some video game reviews for Havoc PC. The last of my initial three reviews is live. Take a look if you're so inclined. Here's a preview: Halo Wars Despite there being just one on the Xbox 360 console and only three previous games in the series overall, the Halo franchise is a juggernaut of epic proportions, the kind of money-maker video game execs would sell their children to have. The Halo brand is a record breaker. A system seller. A guaranteed payday. So it comes as no…

Tomb Raider: Underworld

The second of my video game reviews for Havoc PC has gone live. Check out this preview; link to the full at the bottom: Tomb Raider: Underworld To say that Tomb Raider has been the most consistently mediocre long-running franchise in video gaming history would certainly be an overstatement, though many critics would tell you exactly that. The first game dropped in 1996, and eight unchanging games have followed since. New games in the series are routinely criticized for being more of the same, which is true enough, but “the same” is pretty fun. The iconic Lara Croft is slammed…
