I am not someone who gets hyped for much of anything. Let me back it up a bit before diving in. Marketing doesn’t work very well on me. I am not swayed by the newest, the latest, or the shiniest. Clothes-wise, I wear sweats/shorts and sweatshirts/t-shirts most of the time. I have three shoes. One… Continue Reading
Two days ago (Tuesday), I heard tell that certain games journalists got to play the closed network test that will be available for certain players on consoles this weekend (I assume it’ll be the same.)

When I was in the hospital, one of the therapists I saw (physical? Probably) told me that I should play video games as part… Continue Reading
Ian and I were talking the other day about how I was difficult to recommend games to because I was very picky about games. Not only that–it’s difficult even for me to tell what I will and won’t like before playing the game. Well, more what I will like. I am usually very good about… Continue Reading
So after months if not years of silence, there has been word on Elden Ring! Kind of. Ian has written about it over at PCGN. The first clip I saw was just the protagonist riding a horse around town. The clip was horribly compressed so it was impossible to tell how good the graphics actually… Continue Reading
