#41: Omega Protocol and Keeping Games Moving

from So Very Wrong About Games · host Pickaxe

I hope you're planning your Arkhipov Day festivities. Don't get me wrong, I dig Stanislav Petrov as much as the next guy, but for my money Vasili Arkhipov is the man, and he doesn't get nearly enough credit. Because, you know, he either saved your life or your ancestors' lives--the least we could do is give the man a holiday. He doesn't even have a card in Twilight Struggle! See, I brought it back to games in the end.Games Played Last Week: -Galaxy Trucker: Missions 3m00s (Vlaada Chvátil, CGE, 2015)-Terraforming Mars: Prelude 6m04s (Jacob Fryxelius, Stronghold, 2018)-Quartermaster General: Prelude 7m01s (Ian Brody, Griggling Games, 2018)-Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Jabba's Realm 9m24s (Todd Michlitsch & Paul Winchester, FFG, 2017)-Specter Ops 10m24s (Emerson Matssuchi, Plaid Hat Games, 2015)-Master of the Galaxy 14m54s (Timofey Bokarev & Konstantin Seleznev, Ares Games, 2018)-Paper Tales: Beyond the Gate 19m38s (Masato Uesugi, Strongold, 2018)News (and why it doesn't matter)-Fog of Love expands to LGBTQ scenarios 24m22s-Z-Man Lords over Vegas 25m34s-SVWAG SWAG: Take our stuff 26m20s-Pfister Blacks Out Hong Kong 27m46s-Mac Gerdts brings the love in Concordia 28m37s-Terraforming Mars digitally 29m40s-Chip Theory's neoprene obsession 30m00sFeature Game: 31m28s-Level 7 [Omega Protocol] (Will Schoonover, Privateer Press, 2013)Topic: Keeping Games Moving 57m42sAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
