A poor showing
So I have been rummaging in my various video game libraries to find something interesting to play and a game cropped up that suggested it would be done in about 3 hours. An FPS as well. The experience was an absolute example of what not to do with an ending. Spoilers ahead! The game in…

Backlog Maintenance
I am an analyst at heart and at work. This has its ups and downs; it earns me good money but I am prone to analysing things that a sane person would just not care about. Case in point, my gaming backlog. Bring out your dead! So my backlog is doing nothing but grow as…

My love for dad games
It is an unfortunate fact of life that I am getting older. As I age my tastes in gaming seem to have changed. While I still enjoy games like Doom Eternal, I am far more frequently playing much slower more thoughtful games such as civilization 6. I’m not sure if Yahtzee Croshaw initially coined the…

PC gaming in 2023: Best year to keep a backlog!
I’m writing this article at the end of October 2023 and I am fairly sure that my conclusion for the year is going to remain unchanged. This year has been an excellent year for gamers to maintain a backlog list. We could use some Quality Control To put it bluntly, this year has seen multiple…
