In addition to October being spooky month, it’s also when the holiday releases really start to ramp up. Since I’m not reviewing games for any sites this year I had a little more time to play through in-progress and backlog games. It also gave me time to see if any of the newer releases that …

September 2022 Mini Reviews: Stacklands, Soul Hackers 2, Fallout 76 The Pitt
September 2022 has always been a relatively busy month for me. Over the past five years that was due to all the review coverage I was working on for PSLS and Siliconera. This time of year is when every studio starts dropping releases to hit that sweet, sweet holiday rush. Between Soul Hackers 2, The …
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 …
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 …
24 Hour Extra Life Marathon for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
For the past several years I have participated in the charitable event known as Extra Life. Extra Life is a 24 hour gaming marathon (video/board/card games) that raises money for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals around the world. This year it takes place on November 4th, 2017. I’ll start once the clock strikes midnight and end …
Armada by Ernest Cline
There are two categories of novels that I absolutely adore: fantasy and anything related to video games. After the pleasant surprise that was Ernest Cline’s debut, Ready Player One, there was no way I was going to wait on his sophomore tale, Armada. While I’ve never been one for mech or flight simulation, Zach Lightman’s life-altering battle with …
Geek & Gaming Cross Stitchery 4 – The Ladies of Final Fantasy VII
As I gear up for Extra Life 2013, I’ve been going through some of the video game and pop culture patterns I’ve found all over the internet in an attempt to stitch a few as samples I can use to manipulate (read: politely urge) my friends and family to give slightly higher donations this year in …
How the PS4 Won Our Pre-Order
I want to preface this by stating for those who do not know me very well that I am not a fangirl of any Big Three console makers. It’s always been that I get the systems that have the games I want to play. Last time around I got the Xbox 360 before my PS3 …
Project Backlog – Summer 2013 Update #1
So, I had all these great plans for June and July. I was going to power through at least 2 games a month to whittle down my backlog. Sounds good, right? Productive, too. Well…. Animal Crossing happened. I had started Professor Layton & the Miracle Mask which had been sitting on my nightstand since it …
You by Austin Grossman
After reading Ready Player One I went looking for something new to read and Goodreads recommended I check out You by Austin Grossman. His name was familiar; turns out he’s a games writer and one I’ve seen in credits at least once or twice. A few of my gaming friends had also read the book and recommended it, so …
