Time to Loot Journal: April 2025

April was a fantastic month for gaming. Less good for the goals I set myself. All because I’d forgotten while writing those goals that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 would be landing. I had no inkling just how good Expedition 33…

Time to Loot Journal: March 2025

The back half of this month certainly ran away from me. I posted my impressions of Monster Hunter Wilds and then peaced out for the month. Whoops. Sorry! It wasn’t even from a lack of post ideas. I’ve been sitting…

Time to Loot Journal: February 2025

Monster Hunter Wilds — betas aside — was only in our hot little hands for a single day of February. And still it was the most important game of the month. Hell, it’s passing likely that it’ll be my game…

Time to Loot Journal: December 2024

Gosh. Another year done and dusted. Tonight (from my perspective of sitting and writing this in New Zealand) we usher in a brand new year. I’m not sure I’m ready for that, frankly! So far as recent years have gone,…

Time to Loot Journal: November 2024

Guys, it’s December. What the heck? I mean- I am fairly chuffed about this fact, it means the Christmas holidays are nigh! But also, wow. The week after next I have a surgery scheduled — nothing to worry about, but…

Time to Loot Journal: September 2024

This month has been quite the month for gaming. Particularly the hero-shooter (and adjacent) genre has grabbed me this month. I put over 20 hours into the Deadlock alpha, which then spun into nearly 50 hours of Overwatch. Apparently, I…

Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2024

I’ve flipped up my order a bit this year. Normally the journal would come first, and then I’d post the wrapping-up Blaugust post. Mostly because it allowed for a little more processing time, and reflecting on what the lessons of…

Time to Loot Journal: July 2024

Today’s post posed something of a conundrum. Unlike the previous two days where I had no idea what I wanted to write — today there are two conflicting ideas. Although perhaps ‘ideas’ is a bit of a strong word. Two…

Time to Loot Journal: May 2024

How is it June already? Why is it June already? I mean… I do typically feel that the first half of each year goes by quickly, but still… It is a time of fairly mixed feelings, too. Yesterday marked the…
