(Shush. I know it is now 2024 and I am just getting around to this in January, but I got distracted, then COVID, and now I am able to focus on catching up.) I tried to keep my gaming focused a little more in September and October. Knowing that a good chunk of my time …

Review: Paranormasight’s Twisted Path Leads to Salvation
The first (and only other) J-Horror visual novel I have ever played was Iwaihime. You’d think considering my love of both genres that wouldn’t be the case. Paranormasight now holds the honour of being the second of these in my library and the first one with all endings unlocked. First I’d heard of this one …
February 2023 Mini Reviews: The Long Dark, Surviving Mars, Turnip Boy
February. Shortest month of the year, even in a leap year. That means two to three fewer days of gaming in the month. Most of my gaming this month was spent once more working through my Steam library. Hell, I even only logged into Fallout 76 to grab my free daily items and play the …
January 2023 Mini Reviews: Signals, Shadows Over Loathing
I told myself that in 2023 I would play more from my backlog and finish up some mostly-done games. So far, I have played only new games and events from my staple MMOs. I would like to believe that the new games I played in January were solid experiences. Both Signals and Shadows Over Loathing …
December 2022 Mini Reviews: Nuka-World (Fallout 76), Kingdoms & Castles, West of Loathing
December was a crazy busy month for me, as it generally always is. Holiday baking was mostly thwarted by illnesses in the home that required my attention, so I mostly stuck with games that I could quickly step away from. My ESO New Life Festival runs were kept to just one or two celebrations (just …
August 2022 Mini Reviews: Cult of the Lamb, Core Keeper, Graveyard Keeper
August was a relatively slower month for my gaming habit. I took advantage of this time to really learn Tales of Tribute in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online), and planned on really digging into my backlog. Unfortunately, I only tackled one game from my digital pile but one is better than none. Here’s a quick look …
Review: Bear and Breakfast Restores Balance
Two things you can put in your game that will sucker me into buying it: animal characters and building elements. Which is why the instant I first saw Bear and Breakfast (which was either during the Wholesome Games or Day of the Devs 2022 stream) I knew it was a day one purchase. I played …
Project Backlog: The Return of the Backlog
Backlogs. They come in all forms: books, TV, movies, video games, crafting projects. And we all have them. Today I have decided to revisit an old, old post of mine. All the way back in 2013 I had listed off the video games in my collection that I hadn’t gotten around to finishing. It’s 6 …
Kingdom: New Lands
My addiction to Kingdom New Lands is all Candice’s fault. After watching her and Klaus stream the original Kingdom game (now Kingdom Classic) on our Loot Crate stream one afternoon, I immediately jumped onto Steam to pick it up. And for a month I ignored everything else in my backlog until I “beat” the game. *Warning: This …
The Baconing (DeathSpank)

Achievements: 10 of 12 Gamerscore: 155/200 DLC Purchased: None Things seemed to be all well in good in Spanktopia after DeathSpank collected all of the Thongs of Virtue and vanquished Sandy. But the peace didn’t last forever, as DeathSpank soon discovers his wearing of all of the Thongs at once has created a new evil: …
