Choice is an amazing feeling, even if you just end up going around in circles. During lapses in gaming passion (when you have that new and shiny game to play) I often default to binge playing other games. And I love it! First off was my return to the Darkest Dungeon. I did a multi-post…

Darkest Dungeon EP11- Revisiting the Crew
It’s been a while so figured I’d update you on all the excitement from team BlogNation in Darkest Dungeon. What have the kooky blog kids been up to? 60 weeks, that’s what! That is a lot of fun I have had in this game. Around 40 hours and counting, which is still longer than I…
Darkest Dungeon EP10: One More Adventure
[edit: made the pictures clickable to expand into a new window – forgot on the first draft, sorry!] First off, this game is a lot of fun. It completely has that “just one more adventure” feel to it since play sessions can be done in 15-30 minutes. It can be addicting. I too have one…
Darkest Dungeon EP9 – We Push our Limits
What is more inspiring than a ‘Powerful’ positive boon Hellion? Not much! I Hot on the heels of our victory against the Wizened Hag the troops build on being pure awesome. With new levels come new responsibilities and new challenges. Also -Â new mob types. (Finally). Sadly Zubon dies early here – at least, knowing Zubon’s…
Darkest Dungeon EP8 – We Get Revenge
With the disaster of a run last episode I decide to refocus my efforts on improving the team. Originally this was bringing in ‘fresh blood meat talent’ Â but i am quickly learning the path to success is investing in your people. Turns out experience is important. For a real world analogy here I was running…
Darkest Dungeon EP7: Knocking on Heaven’s Door
Team Blognation (aka Team Invincible – yes, I am trying to jinx us here!) is on quite the roll and I begin to start focusing on the main Quest Goals. Kill the bosses of which, I have already killed the Apprentice Necromancer.  I am doing less of the funny crazy montage speeches (as by now I am…
Darkest Dungeon EP6 – We Kill a Boss
Onward and upward! Riding high, I figure it is time for our team to take on some real challenges. Boss missions! Except they are gated to keep it a challenge. I can’t use my level three adventurers for an easy kill (see above, even I am denying myself!). Looks as though I have to use…
Darkest Dungeon EP5 – We Hit a Stride
Something crazy happened after Murf’s death. We hit a huge string of good luck and prosperity. Now, I am not saying that he was sacrificed, or anything absurd like that, but the crew did use it as a rallying cry. Episode 5 largely has our group prospering, collecting treasures, and looking and acting like a…
Darkest Dungeon EP4 : Murf Tells the Future
You shouldn’t have said anything Murf! Very obvious foreshadowing there. I knew this was going to be a tough run for the team with so many out of commission – but we need to push forward. There are glorious treasures awaiting! I just realized I never did show the main screen entrance to the game…
Darkest Dungeon EP3 : The Group Fights (With Each Other)
[Reminder: clicking on the picture opens a new tab with an expanded view. The pictures are set to scale with the browser and I noticed on mine the text is a little small to read] Columbo style: we had a very successful third run through the Ruins. Syncaine, GrumpyElf, Myself, and Leo. I chose another…
Darkest Dungeon : Blogroll Edition, Part Deux
Here is to hoping a lot more bloodshed joy and craziness treasures for our merry band of adventurers. Let’s see how BlogNation’s second foray into the Ruins turned out! [note: clicking on the graphics will open them larger in a new browser tab, they scale automatically in the body by webpage and I’ve noticed they can be…
Darkest Dungeon – Blogroll Edition
So, buying early access to the Darkest Dungeon was due to a fun review by Aywren over at Clean Casuals. Many that I respect, such as Leo over at Leo’s Life make a very fair argument that there is danger in buying in early and while I am wary the honest truth is a lot of the fun…
