The Blue Casket

Pentadact, otherwise known as the handsome and intelligent Mister Tom Francis of PC Gamer semi-fame, is great at capturing little moments in games, particularly TF2.  His catalogue of screens over on Flickr are a joy to shuffle through, as is his blog. Tom also wrote the GalCiv diaries, which you may remember from earlier.

More Fallout 3 this week! Yes indeed. We do like a bit of desolation and loneliness. We’re back into the warm, loving embrace of Blue Casket favourite Tom Francis, who’s been telling a tale of his favourite Fallout 3 run. Fallout 3 diaries are great. The game’s such an easy-going, lumbering beast of a sandbox that diaries always seem readable because there’s just so much to stumble upon.

Anyway, it’s by Tom Francis and is thus worth your time. Go do it.

One of the best-known gaming diaries out there is Tom Francis’ epic exploration of Galactic Civilisations 2. A veteran of the turn-based space strategy, Tom dials all the settings up to ‘crazysauce’ and then goes on a murderous rampage across an unimaginably huge galaxy. It’s very funny, very entertaining and best of all it has a sequel.
