Gauntlet 2014
Gauntlet 2014 is a great follow-up to the original Gauntlet.. though a little on the short side. Like the original, it’s got fast-paced action with plenty of enemies, and there’s also the addition of skill progression and the option to play with friends too. I love the art style, too..

Motivation
That was some break..
Let’s steal a phrase and say “You know nothing, CoffeeScamp!”. Sleeping Through is still a go (go go!) but fixing the lack of time issue did not solve the lack of motivation problem. I wanted to get things done, but lacked any ability to follow through with that.
In part, that was due to my medication. I was convinced to try antidepressants.. and along with chopping off both lows and highs, they ate my motivation like nothing else. The “I can’t be bothered with anything” attitude has hung around all year.
I played games, but couldn’t be bothered to write about them. Press releases have appeared in my inbox and I’ve not got round to posting them, then forgotten.. no nagging voice in the back of my head pushing me to get on with things. Oh, and I couldn’t count so well. I had put that down to “baby brain”, but in the days after coming off the tablets, I noticed the difference. Dizziness and a head full of brain zaps (thank you withdrawal discontinuation syndrome), but I could total up my shopping basket or figure out how much ‘something’ I’d need to make ‘whatever’. I can enjoy Sudoku again too 😉
So.. I don’t have the time I used to, for playing or writing about games, but I at least have some motivation and interest again!

Back to WoW for the Iron Tide
I returned to WoW yesterday, just in time for Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide..
What an awesome cinematic! I thought it set the scene for the invasion rather well. Patch 6.0.2 adds the Iron Horde Incursion, through the Dark Portal..
