Song of the Week

Loreena McKennitt, “All Souls Night”

Happy Monday! Here we are in the new year. Please enjoy this song, about beautiful festivals and the passing of the old and the welcoming of the new.

I will be on Twitch tonight making terrible commentary as my husband and streaming partner plays Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord. You can find our channel here. If you stop by and chat, you may see some cats as well. We’ll also be streaming on Saturday, but I haven’t decided what game yet. We might do more Darkest Dungeon.

There will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door here later this week! I’m trying for Wednesday, but we’ll see how my time management goes.

Announcing the Tea and Sidequests channel!

A sword, a teapot, several cups of tea, a couple of bound books, a handful of polyhedral dice, some small shells, and an antique key lie scattered over a map of Skyrim.

My husband and I have created a joint Twitch channel! You can find it here!

We’re going to be streaming Monday and Saturday evenings, starting next week, from 6 to 8 in the evening (US Central time).

I’m very excited to start sharing some of our favorite games with you. In this time of isolation, I’m also looking forward to chatting with old and new friends. I hope you can stop by sometime!

If you miss a stream, we’re going to be uploading them to YouTube here. I’ve also updated the social icons at the bottom of the blog to these new sites.

Happy New Year!

At long last, a puzzle!

Let’s Play Myst: Masterpiece Edition (Part 2)

If you’d like to hear me read every book in the library on Myst Island, this is the video for you. Otherwise, wait until next week, when I will finally do a puzzle and see some new places!

All the Myst videos will live on YouTube here.

Let’s Play Myst: Masterpiece Edition (Part 1)

In the spirit of social distancing, please join me in exploring this deserted island full of mystery.

I’m hoping to post a new video every week, so stay tuned!

Song of the Week

Kate Bush, “Jig of Life”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

Until further notice, the plan is to post a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea every Wednesday until it’s finished. I’m not sure how many more chapters that will be; I think we’re past the halfway point, but not by much. It’s turned out to be much longer than I had originally thought, but I’m having fun with it, and I hope you are too.

I am no longer able to stream on Twitch because my internet connection, while free of charge, is not very fast. I end up being more than an hour ahead of the upload, so I can’t chat in real time with any viewers. To pass the time while I’m socially distancing, I’ve decided to upload some gaming videos to YouTube instead, and make them available here on the blog also. I think I’ll be playing Myst: Masterpiece Edition, for a bit of nostalgia, but I’ll have to check if it works on my computer first. You can expect the first video to make an appearance on Friday!

Have an excellent week, and don’t forget to wash your hands!
