Looking Back on Gaming — 2022 Edition
2022 hasn’t been my favourite year of all time. Truth be told, it was a bit of a tough one. If I had been left to guess — I would have supposed that I’d...
Catching Up
So if there is one thing the recent Blaugust showed me, it’s that even with the current life situation, I can manage to post much more often than I am… if the appropriate prioritisation...
Breaking the Blizzard Exile
I’ve held to something of a self-imposed exile from Blizzard since July 2021. It was the start of the seemingly never-ending slew of stories of sexual harassment (up to, and including, sexual assault). Since...

Coming Games of Interest — Blaugust 2022 Edition
This is something of a series, albeit a fairly irregular one. The last one of these I did was August last year, and as is often the way with these posts… The accuracy of...
Living in an MMO
Paeroka pondered the question of, “If you could — or had to — live in an MMO world for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?” Rakuno came up with an...
Eclectic Taste: Activate!
I’ve put Outriders to rest for the time being. And since then, I’d been sort of flitting game to game to find something to stick. Welp… Found some things! The resulting list of things...
