This morning my profile was approved so I'm posting my first message to bring you up-to-date with the current state of gaming in the Captain Frandad bubble.

At the moment my current game playing includes Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV); No Man's Sky (NMS); Ghost of Tsushima (GoT); and Grounded (Game Preview version). I'd welcome feedback on which of these should be the subject of my next series of videos as I'm a bit undecided at present.

Of these games I think GoT is my current favourite and has some very emotional storylines in it. FFXIV also has some very good story lines, but I've not felt the same emotional pull I get from GoT. I know there is currently some gaming rage in the form of a battle between fans of Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2 (TLOU2), but from what I've seen and read of TLOU2 it won't be a game I'll be buying: I don't want to play a game that seems to be deliberately designed to make its players miserable and uncomfortable, which seems to be a big reaction to that game so far.  So, I won't be getting involved in the GoT v TLOU2 debate. No thanks.

For the "Plus 1" series, Hulkie and I are gradually working our way through the dungeons in Minecraft Dungeons. We already have Soggy Swamp done and uploaded https://youtu.be/qE5DzLbJBnI, and I'm editing Pumpkin Pastures with a view to releasing w/c 17.08.20 - subscribers will get three days early access to the video.

Whilst I'm here, can I draw your attention to part 10 of my Stellaris series https://youtu.be/aHXQOmsG6TY. Although this is the final video in the series and will therefore give some spoilers for earlier videos in the series, it is the one that I have fully and properly narrated, and I would welcome feedback on whether that style is one I should use more often going forward.

Well, that's it for now. Thanks again.
