Dear eXplorminate Community,
As you know, for various reasons, Rob has had to take a step back recently ,and has decided to move on from Explorminate.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank him, and Nasarog, and so many others, for their work so far.
All me to introduce myself.
My name in the real world is Andy, you likely know me as Bloody Battle Brain, or just BBB.
I am a huge fan of 4x games, with an especial interest in the Age of Wonders series (which AoW is the best? Answers on the back of a postcard please!)
So, who am I? I am a gamer, web developer and avid reader. I love the outdoors, and currently have an unhealthy obsession with Spirit Island.
I have a dog, Alsatian called Grace, who is the real boss around here, and has successfully trained me to feed her and take her on walks.
I took over eXplorminate because I like the community, and I really didn’t want things to fade. I honestly think this is one of the best spaces on the internet, and I like that there are people as geeky as me (even geekier lol!)
If you have anything you want to contribute, or anything you want to say, please feel free to email me at explorminate@gmail.com
I look forward to working with you all.
Here’s to the next chapter for eXplorminate!
Also known as BBB in many places, Andy is well known for his love of strategy games of all types, especially the Age of Wonders series.
Welcome Andy!
Welcome!
Congrats on your purchase, Andy. eXplorminate was a huge inspiration when starting my own podcast. It’s great to see that the legacy of eXplorminate lives on. MEGA! (Make eXplorminate Great Again)
We welcome our new overlord 🖖
Ha, Overlord. Now that’s a game due a remake!
Hi Andy. What sort of things are going to be happening around here now?
Hi Amanda. More of the same good stuff, but hopefully more often and more consistently. I think Rob and Nasarog (and others!) have laid some very solid foundations here.
Agree this is one of the best communities on the internet.
Looking forward to many more good years to come on all things strategy/tactics and of-course 4X….especially 4X 🙂
Great news. This and Three Moves ahead are my favourite gaming communities. Looking forward to learn where the journey goes from here.
Lets go!
AI generated cover images aren’t a great or reassuring start.
Well spotted. It passed me by. Looking closer, the fingers kinda gave it away! Anyway, I have changed the image, let me know what you think.
Much better now! Inspires way more confidence.
Welcome Andy! And thank you for keeping Exploreminate alive. It is one of my beacons of hope and normality in the sea of madness that is real life in the last years!
Congrats on taking over and not letting this die. All the best on this project and I’ll sure be checking it out frequently !
Really cool to see you taking the reins at eXplorminate Andy! Good luck and hope to see some cool regular content.
Glad you are keeping this alive. This website has been the best analysis of strategy games I have ever seen. That is hard work, so thank you.
Thank you for re-seizing the reigns of power 🙂
Welcome!!!!!
Welcome likewise Andy. I’m glad to see that a member of the community has taken on the mantle. Best of success with it!
