I can’t quite get back into mechwarrior Online as there was, and us something about the experience […]

Cute Things: Reus
I am usually quite aware while playing these types of games that I indeed have a god complex. Not the kind where you need constant attention lavished on upon you but the kind where you like to fuss over every little minute detail. A place where I can create wonderful things and watch my actions […]

Cute Things: Deponia
I have had Deponia from Daedalic Entertainment in my steam library for some time now, as is the case with many many other games.

Five Favorites: The Best of Dreamcast
Since its announcement and release, the Sega Dreamcast has been one of my all-time favorite game systems. I remember begging and pleading for my parents to get it for me on that destined day back in 9/9/1999 as an early Christmas gift, but they refused. They made me save and pinch pennies (i.e. stop buying [...]

Simcity or Simshitty
Yes that game.. The one making all the headlines. The Australian release pretty much passed me by as giving up on an absolutely fantastic week of WvW and a very close battle between JQ and Stackgate wasn’t going to happen so I pretty much missed the worst of the launch. By the time I played [...]

Of Steam Trades, Legendary Leagues, Trying Not to Starve, Fictional Sports, and Twitter
Lately, I’ve had very few ideas for posts, at least for ones that were not spiteful, boring, or forced. Instead of my typical, focused posts on a particular subject, this one will just be a meandering personal update on what I have been up to lately. In the absence of any MMO I really want [...]

Lately I’ve been playing an interesting game called Towns I bought on the steam sale which has had me quite engrossed for long periods of time. In essence it’s a game about creating and maintaining a town (hence the name) , providing for it in all usual ways like food production and resource gathering. The [...]

Gaming OSTs in 2012: My Top 8 Tracks
8. Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy “Main Theme” (Steam) This doesn’t count as cheating, since I didn’t really realize this game existed until it came out on Steam during the summer.

And here’s my list of favourites which I think may be missing some unfortunately [...]

Just Press Continue
Nostalgia is one of my favorite topics to talk about, especially when it comes to video games. Video games have a great way of capturing a time and a place and embedding it forever in our conscious or subconscious. We all remember the first times we booted up classics like Super Mario Brothers or DOOM. We [...]

Of Baseball and Gaming
A recent post on Kotaku questioned rather there really is any impact of the Xbox 360 losing its one serious baseball game, and I have to answer: I hope so. Baseball is my favorite sport.

Pew Pew in Planetside 2
My first few moments upon loading up and jumping into Planetside 2 elicited a rather loud and prolonged chuckle. I have read a few reviews and blogs regarding it so far and the one factor they had in common was to be immediately shot and killed upon entering the fray and sure enough, 10 seconds [...]
