September 2019 VS. Backloggery

Overall, September has been good to me–cooler weather and far less pollen. Yes, a much more survivable climate for a squid. This month has also granted me more free time to spend on books, painting the pieces of table-top games, and, of course, playing games. With more free time, I also had the time to […]

Buys Before the Storm

According to the weather, we had a mere 50% chance of seeing rain and any kind of storm. What happened, is everything hit those perfect conditions that suddenly thrust us into a war zone versus Nature. I pulled into the garage just as the first peal of thunder shook the house. It bore an ominous […]

August 2019 vs. Backloggery

Being my 10 year Backloggiversary, I felt it the time to return to this little corner and start writing about games again. What better way to start than to explore what I’ve finished and what’s new. I feel I had made decent progress this month having completed 10 games across a variety of platforms, but […]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: The Struggle

This quarter hasn’t exactly been a light one, but I manage a torturous binge of homework throughout the week to give myself evenings and at least all day Sunday to relax. Oddly enough, my Switch has entered into the limelight of what little gaming I am able to do. Desiring a fun JRPG to play, […]

Quiet on the Front

What a year it has been. A bout a year ago I went back to university, graduated this past June, and start again in a couple of weeks to grind out another class change. I am still undecided if a doctorate will be my ultimate end goal, but I have plenty of time and my […]

2016 Retrospect

Well, this year has flown past and so many big things have happened. I didn’t do a whole lot of gaming, at least in the video sense, but since being on break from school I’ve experienced a hardcore resurgence. I have Pokemon Moon to thank. I started taking my 3DS to school and it had […]

Still Alive

Holy crap does time fly! School started September 26th and the weeks have flown past. Things have been going very well for me. My head is swimming with the future. I have three options on the table with no clue which to pursue. My resolution is to make it through the quarter and see how […]

Bandaged Tentacles NO MORE!

I’m nearly shocked I didn’t write this post sooner, but I’ve been so thrilled to be out of bandages I’ve been doing all kinds of things just happy I am able to do things. This Monday past, my bandages finally came off allowing me to do things again. They get fatigued rather quickly and I’ve […]

New Purchases- Steam Lunar New Year Sale

And I was doing so well. After my day finished, I logged onto to Steam to see if the Deal-of-the-Day was anything I needed, and low and behold, massive sale time. I took a look at my wishlist, sighed forlornly at its massive size, then spent a good two-and-a-half hours meticulously going through each one […]

To Click or Not to Click–Also, Stuff.

I’m not even sure I know what’s happened to me since Christmas, but I’ve sure found myself drowning in more casual, brainless games that I can play while doing other things and I now understand what a clicker game is. AdVenture Capitalist, I think, is the first clicker I tried. Available for free on Steam […]

Thoughts: Xbox One

Yes. It happened. Quite suddenly I remarkably found myself opening the packaging of the 1 TB blue Forza 6 XBOX One bundle. It felt very surreal. After so much trouble with Xbox and their shoddy consoles and neanderthal douche bag community, I had no plans to ever bother with them again. When the new generation of […]

Thoughts: Paper Sorcerer (PC)

And so the summer sales of several digital retailers came and went taking some of my money with them. Again, I’m surprised by how little I splurged on the event, but as I’ve said to people before, I think that one Black Friday sale a few years ago netted me everything I could possibly need […]

Thoughts: Duck Tales Remastered

This is extremely late considering I purchased the game within a few months of its initial release back in 2013 and have only just finished it this morning having marathoned all but the last level yesterday. *Sigh* Where do I begin? Duck Tales back on NES ranked among my most well-loved platformer games for the […]

Toukiden & Handhelds Again

Some time ago I wrote a post pondering why-the-fuck I don’t seem to bother with my handhelds. For the last few weeks, that’s all I’ve been playing. o.O *eye twitch* In my former post, which I’m too lazy to go over, I’m not sure if I even considered the games to be a variable. Of […]

Catching Up Since Holiday Times

Well, it has been a fucking long time since I’ve made my fingers type out anything around here. Despite the goodness the Holiday Season brought, it also paved the way for a major life event–breaking up with my girlfriend of 7+ years. I should have done it three years earlier, but at least it finally […]

Thoughts: Destiny

So, another round of Destiny playings has come and went. I played the PS4 version, as that’s the edition I had pre-ordered way the hell when-and-back. During the Alpha, I found myself overwhelmed with the beauty of the game. I love me some sci-fi. It’s my favourite genre of everything… well… horror is, but in […]

Thoughts: FFXIV A Realm Reborn

If you’ve been following me is any of my digital dens, you’d know I’ve peen playing this game for awhile, now. It’s been three months and in that time, I only had a 15 day break which coincided with Warframe’s release of Loki Prime. I went a bit crazy working on him and his loadout. […]
