Deathloop Early Impressions
Depending on your reviewer of choice, when Deathloop came out you would’ve either had a rather positive or a rather ‘meh’ view of the game before putting hands on it yourself. While the major...
RimWorld Expansion Teas- ANNOUNCED!
A short couple of days ago, Tynan Sylvester, the mastermind behind RimWorld dropped a teaser for what I and essentially everyone else on the planet assumed to be for a new expansion. In the...
Time to Loot Journal: September 2022
The back half of September saw very little gaming going on. For me at least; I can’t speak for you. But I’ve gone from Blurgelflurgal a few days ago back into a pretty heavy...
Blurgelflurgal
I’m about 99% certain the word in the title of this post isn’t a real word, but I’m also 100% certain it is the right one to express the way I’ve been of late....

Steam’s Built-in ‘Make You Feel Old’ Generator
I still have a number of nits to pick with the refreshed Steam Library tools. The big one, or so I thought, was in relation to the filters being ‘AND’ with no option at...
XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game — Mission 32: Operation Failing Altar
As a bit of a recap, Kluwes, UnwiseOwl and I are the final three players of the game. This is more player drop-off than we saw during the Civilisation 6 Succession Game, but perhaps...
