Vampire Survivor is a rogue-lite ... wait come back it's good ... if you like that sort of thing.

It sort of came out of nowhere and went from a little known extremely cheap game (think it's $2.50 at the moment) to being all over the blogosphere the youtubs the twitchers and tictacs

On the surface a very simple game you control a vampire survivor through a series of environments with their own set of enemies bosses and environmental pecularities and just have to survive collecting power ups by gathering the gems enemies drop.

I'm not really a Dark souls person I find the gameplay mechanics somewhat frustrating the fail Die fail die fail die fail die maybe succeed die mechanic gets grating after a while and every time I've tried one of these games I've usually bounced off it fairly quickly. Even some of the dark souls like often get annoying the most recent God of War or the Jedi Fallen Order being notable examples.

Back in November 2021 I stated I was worred about the upcoming TV Adaptation of "The Wheel of Time", as I've been burnt before around adaptations of books I love.

Played a bit of this just to try it out.

Their interface is still as shit as it was the first time through. Incredibly difficult to work out what is what and how things work the various module controls for stuff on the drillship are not really explained and because of the design half the time they are positioned behind other stuff.

I started reading Wheel of Time novels in about 1991...I was doing my GCSE's, and one of the highlights of Stourport High Street at the time was a WH.Smith (buried between arcades, discount stores and Fish'n'Chip shops).
