Readers, I’m not going to lie to you here, I have no desire to play The Banished Vault in the slightest. It is, in just about every conceivable way, not my kind of videogame. Maybe I was bitten by a board game at an early age or something but this whole dice roll thing? Not my bag.
However, what an absolutely *astonishing* looking game. I can’t help but stare at it because it’s so, so beautiful. It almost makes me wish it was my kind of game but much like I am with Zachtronics stuff, I am content watching other people play a game that is just structurally very not for me but captivating visually. And I am very much looking forward to watching people play this when it launches in a few weeks, the trailer is gorgeous, the screenshots are gorgeous. It’s gorgeous.
The things people do with computers, I tells thee. Glorious!

Google is broken, social media is fragmented (this one, at least, is a good thing) the internet is an AI toilet. Getting someone to look at your stuff on online is getting ridiculously rough. Sharing a post amongst chums or the internet at large helps loads. So here’s some buttons! Wahey!
The online home of Rob Fearon, disabled videogame maker, games journalist, crap film watcher, gobshite and doodler. Rob’s been around games a very, very long time now and Punching Robots Club is their personal blog featuring whatever nonsense takes their fancy.
Sometimes it’s a sketch, a review, an article about videogames, a pointer to something Rob finds cool. Whatever, really. Expect anything, Rob’s tired of being a brand online and so it’s just stuff and things these days. Nice stuff and things, mind you.
