STAR CONTROL ORIGINS - FIRST BUILD

I picked up Star Control Origins about two months ago while still in very early access and at a very low price (£17). I believe I played the original all those years ago on a friends pc. At the time it really wasn't for me as a game, but as I have gotten older it's right on point. I just love games you can invest time in, and come back again and again.

So far in this early access, there isn't much to it. They have only released the Star Control: Origins & Fleet Battles Mode, which in a short description is you can build a ship and take on AI or other players online. The fun part for me is making your own ship. They use almost the same system as Galactic Civilizations III ( well it is Stardock ) for this. You select parts from a list and they snap together on anchor points, you can then make them larger or smaller, rotate and flip. You can also change the main and secondary colours of your ship. Then you add first and second weapons, thrusters and engines all to a points system that allows you to play your ship in battles. It's nice and smooth and they have promised more ship parts as the beta goes on.
Check out my first ship "ICE" which isn't doing to bad in the battles I have played. Though at the moment the building side of this is the fun part for me. Looking forward to the rest of the game when it's released.

Here is the game trailer with what is yet to come.

5k Charity Run For The Stroke Association

At the weekend we as a family ran 5k for the Stroke Association. As most of you who have visited my blog before will know my youngest had a stroke over a year ago. He wanted to do something to raise money for the charity that has help him and us with his recovery and understanding what has happened to him. It was a cold Sunday morning in Blackpool for the run, but with a great turnout and friendly lot we had a warmup and before we knew it we were off. Was a little hard going for me as I haven't done much running in the last few year, but with my eldest son on my shoulder all the way talking about the latest game he is playing it wasn't long before we were on the way to the finish line. :) Ryan, mum and dog came in not long after at very reasonable times and I am proud of them all for doing it. Eldest Son: 30mins. Me: 34mins. Ryan: 47mins. Mum and Kylo: 50mins. So far we have raised almost £400 with still a few cash donations still to come in. The link is st...
