What Game Are You Currently Playing?
Dave Oshry, CEO of New Blood Interactive, is currently immersed in Aether & Iron. He describes it as a blend of art deco and retro futurism, heavily narrative-driven with some turn-based car combat sections. Although he doesn’t recall how he found it, he was drawn in by the Steam recommendation and enjoyed the demo.
What Was the Previous Game You Played, and Is It Still Installed?
Oshry is also playing a modded version of Vice City, which he considers the definitive edition of the game. This version combines elements from the PC, PS2, and Xbox releases, enhancing the experience with modern controls. He notes that the actual Definitive Editions are not definitive at all and appreciates how Vice City captures the essence of Miami in the 1980s.
What Is the Oldest Game Currently Installed on Your PC?
The oldest game on Oshry’s PC is Wolfenstein 3-D, which he sometimes boots up just to enjoy the nostalgic sounds. He recalls that it was the first game he ever modded, using the Mac version when he was a child. His creativity led him to create a new episode called Return to Castle Wolfenstein when he was only eight years old.
What Is the Highest Number of Hours You Have in Any Given Game?
Oshry has spent an impressive 488.8 hours in Fallout 76, although he hasn’t played it since 2021. He emphasizes that he views it as an excellent single-player experience, particularly praising its map and cryptid hunting aspects. He argues that if the game offered an offline version, it would be well-received.
What Game Will You Never Uninstall?
“DOOM, of course,” Oshry declares when asked about games he’ll never remove from his PC. He believes no true gamer should be without Doom, citing its timelessness and continuous community support. He prefers Doom 1 over Doom 2, arguing that the first three episodes of Doom represent the pinnacle of gaming.
What's a Piece of Non-Gaming Software You Simply Couldn't Live Without?
Oshry swears by the software called Everything by Voidtools, which allows him to search his PC instantly. He finds the default Windows search function inadequate, and this tool has become indispensable for managing his myriad files.
Generally, How Tidy Is Your Desktop Screen?
His desktop is very tidy, reflecting a touch of OCD. Oshry keeps everything organized into folders with clear labels, ensuring that while his desktop is clean, it's also functional.
