The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time.

Season Nine of Civ4 AI Survivor is kicking off today! Head over to the main Season Nine page in order to stay up to date on all of the details as the competition plays out over the next few months. In other website news, I finished with my Diablo 2 character Blanche and the full story of her journey can be found at this link. I have the impression that this was one of those reports I was writing mostly for myself but hopefully at least a few people will enjoy reading along. Finally, there's an entirely new section on the website dedicated to the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest 3. I did an initial non-variant playthrough on Livestream which I greatly enjoyed, and since then I've had enough time to complete a full game using only the main Hero character. There's a lengthy writeup for the Solo Hero which can be found here and I anticipate trying my hand at solo challenges for a bunch of the other classes as well. I had to find another game to run those variants since I finished up with Octopath Traveler last year, right?

Today marks the official announcement of a new season of Civ4 AI Survivor! Season Nine is scheduled to begin next month on April 3rd, check out the AI Survivor main page here for all the details. I've had the announcement up for less than a day and the response has already been overwhelming so here's hoping to another exciting season of brilliant moves and boneheaded decisions from our favorite AI competitors. Recently on Livestream I've been playing a Master of Orion game named Slowpoke Klackons, which just wrapped up so here's the completed writeup for anyone who doesn't want to watch several hours of video. In other gaming news, I've also been playing through a Cold-based Sorceress character in Diablo 2 which is nearing its completion. You can click here to check out that story and there will probably be more Diablo 2 content coming down the road since the game amazingly now has a new Warlock character to explore (!) Finally, I also had a work trip to Los Angeles back in January which I wrote up for the Travel portion of the website. I don't think too many people read that stuff but here's where you can find it for the curious. Thanks all and good luck with your picks for the upcoming AI Survivor season.

A new year means that it's time to update the front page of the website again. I've spent the past few months playing a long-running Civ4 game titled A Cold, Harsh Land; that game has finally finished with a writeup posted here. This was one of the more memorable Civ4 games that I've done in a while due to the horrific nature of the frozen tundra wasteland map. I've also been playing a good bit of Teamfight Tactics since the current Set Sixteen has been the best set in a while. Those videos are posted over at YouTube and can be accessed from this playlist. In the Octopath Traveler section of the website, I finished the final solo job report for the Starseer, the game's best class for buffing and debuffing opponents. Elsewhere, I've also been playing another Diablo 2 character in offline mode, though I haven't made it far enough to write a report yet, and then the Travel section has a collection of short trips that I made to Local State Capitals which were recently added. I might be the only person out there writing about Dover, Delaware - that's the kind of content you won't get anywhere else! Over the next few months, I'll be working on the preparation for the next season of AI Survivor so expect to hear more details about that sometime around March or April.
