Babylon Tales | Nathan Weaver, author

Several years ago, almost eight, I spent 2 days in my family's cabin on the lake writing the next, great American novel. Sounds like a horror film, right?

Well, nothing scary happened, except for a lot of cabin fever. But not that kind of cabin fever.

What I did do was pretty much what I was aiming for... I wrote an entire complete first draft of my novel. Was it perfect? Far from it. Was it there? Yeah. Did I feel like I'd made a mistake? Mostly. Did I have a lot of fun? Absolutely.

Today, I went back and started putting the numbers together, and looking at what I had. I was feeling more positive about my work, and feeling like maybe there was something there to brag about, if I'd just get back on it.

Turns out that a) I wrote more words in 2 days than I remembered, b) I had a higher wordcount than I recalled as well. That definitely left me feeling bet…

ABOUT THIS COLLECTION.



I game, mostly casually. I mostly enjoy shooters and otherwise action oriented stuff. I'll post about games I'm playing, want to play, upcoming games, etc.







I'm also going to post about games my 7 year old loves, probably mostly the lesser known stuff. Why? Because it's good to share the lesser known stuff. I won't be posting about Lego games, for example. It's a given that kids like them and everyone knows about them.







Here is a list of online games I'm playing at the moment: (UPDATE 2/2017)



- Star Wars Battlefront (X1)



- The Division (X1)







Here's a list of offline games I'm playing at the moment: (UPDATE 2/20/17)



- Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments (X1)



- Life is Strange (X1)



- Mad Max (X1)



- Alien Isolation (X1)



- Metro 2033 (X1)



- Wolfenstein: The New Order (X1)



- Mass Effect 3 (X1, by backwards compatibility)







I've also got a huge backlog of games I need to finish. Probably start over, because its been so long.







I'll update …
