Weekend Gaming Plans & The Anticipation of Return: A Look at What the Rock,Paper,Shotgun Team is Playing
The quiet of the office is a unique experience,especially when anticipating the return of colleagues. Here at Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Saturdays are dedicated to perfecting the welcoming committee routine – specifically, the delivery of a perfectly timed “Here comes trouble!” It’s a surprisingly nuanced art, requiring practice and impeccable intonation.
But beyond the playful anticipation, the team is diving deep into a fascinating array of games this weekend.Let’s take a look at what’s occupying our minds (and screens).
Strategic Domination & Alien Invasions
Several of us are captivated by the complex world of terra Invicta. This isn’t your typical strategy game. your not just building an empire; you’re choosing a side in a slow-burn alien invasion, vying for control of Earth with seven othre secret organizations.
* Edwin is currently focused on fortifying Central Asian states and launching an orbital habitat for a defense fleet.His long-term ambitions? Mining the Kuiper Belt and, perhaps controversially, arming Botswana.
* Julian is also drawn into Terra Invicta‘s intricate gameplay. He anticipates a swift Earth capitulation in his first campaign but is hedging his bets with a new colony in RimWorld,hoping for refuge amongst the stars – if he can first solve his alpaca-murdering grizzly bear problem.
These games offer a level of strategic depth that’s both challenging and rewarding, demanding careful planning and adaptation. If you enjoy grand strategy with a sci-fi twist, both titles are well worth exploring.
Other Adventures on the horizon
While some are battling for Earth’s fate, others are embarking on different adventures. Here’s a rapid rundown of where the rest of the team stands:
* James: Rumor has it he’ll be arriving via a tunnel boring vehicle, hopefully avoiding the foundational roots of our beloved tree.
* Callum: expect a low-key arrival, dropped off by a friend on their way back to university in a well-worn Fiat Punto.
* Jeremy: His return is still two weeks away, giving us ample time to perfect the greeting.
* Ollie: A bank holiday in Scotland has delayed his arrival, but the “Here comes trouble!” is ready and waiting.
* Mark: A phantom presence during the holidays, spotted briefly online discussing the delay of 007 First Light. We suspect he’s been hiding in the loft, so a formal greeting may be needless.
