Nidhogg

Dah, woke up late today after spending all night waiting on a chance to pick up Tim Schafer's latest adventure game Broken Age for a heavily discounted price thanks to Steams voting system. Pried my eyes open until 2am only to discover that it wasn't on sale... Nothing a strong cup of coffee didn't fix though. At least it geared up my brain for making another tasty salad for dinner this evening, snagged a packet of pine nuts (fancy, fancy) and toasted them for the gang. Kept us nice and fed in between games of Nihogg, the latest indie game I picked up in the sales. You play as a pair of fencers fighting for the right to be sacrificed to an ancient god. Confrontations are lightning fast and games with friends result in a lot of swearing, and also a lot of potential bruising. I sat in arms length to Mark who got a little frustrated at losing so he punched my shoulder a bit. Great to know that there are still competitive games out there that put you back in the mindset of a prideful 6 year old.
