Tag: 2019

And so the final day of the final month of the first year of my return to blogging comes to a close. It has been a blur of a month. A month of two parts. The part where work was still going on (right up until the 20th) and the part after, where...

My Favourites of the Passing Decade

by Naithin | Dec 29, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Other Games, Skyrim, Warframe | 0

These games of the year and decade lists started coming out quite early, and it really stressed me out! THERE WERE STILL MORE GAMES TO RELEASE! And alright, alright — as it turned out, probably not any of them were really anything to write...

Secret Santa for… Shoot the Rookie!

by Naithin | Dec 25, 2019 | Other | 2

“Lightning” Ellen kindly organised a Secret Blogger Santa event this year — and I drew Pix1001 of Shoot the Rookie fame. If you’re unfamiliar with the premise as Ellen set it, the idea is to ‘gift’ your person a...

Memories of the 2019 Game Awards

by Naithin | Dec 16, 2019 | Other Games | 2

It isn’t like they were that long ago, I suppose. I checked — December 12th. Only a few days really. Which frankly blows my mind. Time has clearly entered some sort of unstable warp state as we enter ever closer proximity to the...

Humble Choice: A Review (+December 2019 Titles)

by Naithin | Dec 7, 2019 | Humble Monthly | 4

Right. So, with the last of the Humble Monthly posts out of the way, it’s time to crack the lid on Humble Choice and see how it’s doing, now that the reality of it is here in front of us. It’s fair to say I was rather excited...

Humble Monthly: December 2019 + Humble Choice is Here!

by Naithin | Dec 7, 2019 | Humble Monthly | 3

It’s here! It’s here! Humble Choice has arrived! ‘Is it an exciting array of top notch games???’ You might ask. Or perhaps, “Does it seem an improvement over the Monthly version???” To which I say,...

Five Game Challenge Day 30: Wrap-up Journal

by Naithin | Nov 30, 2019 | Journal, Other Games, Skyrim, Transport Fever, Warframe | 2

Booyah, final day. Basically done. The padlocks on the game list can be loosened. In fact I’m going to reward myself with a relaxation of the challenge after I get this post done and published. So… Ciao! …No? Well OK. I suppose we...

Five Game Challenge Day 27: Autumn Sale is On

by Naithin | Nov 27, 2019 | Gaming, Other Games | 6

The Steam Autumn Sale has kicked-off. The first sale since writing about better extracting value from the games I have. The first test of will. Will I pass? Will I succumb and make a new batch of impulse purchases? Early indications are…...

Five Game Challenge Day 26: The End is Nigh

by Naithin | Nov 26, 2019 | Blog | 2

Day 26 of 30. Almost there. And I’m very much ready to be there. The daily posting is by far the harder aspect of this challenge. I’ve been reflecting too, on some of the differences between the Five Game Challenge and Blaugust....

Five Game Challenge Day 22: Looking Forward #3

by Naithin | Nov 22, 2019 | Other Games | 2

A day late on this post — it was bumped given the sad news of Brad McQuiad’s passing. Not too much to add with this one though — just one title in fact.

Five Game Challenge Day 16: Path of Exile 2 Announced

by Naithin | Nov 16, 2019 | Other Games | 2

ExileCon started today in my home city. We’re not even halfway through the first day and already the bombs are dropping. ‘Mega expansion 4.0’ has turned out to be a full fledged sequel. Seven acts right out of the gate. Updated...

Five Game Challenge Day 6: November Gaming Goals

by Naithin | Nov 6, 2019 | Gaming, Skyrim, Warframe | 5

Alright, true — this post is about 6 days late. But until yesterday I wasn’t remotely interested in setting regular monthly gaming goals for myself. As a means of unwinding and relaxation, who needs that? But I’m not opposed to...

Humble Monthly: November 2019

by Naithin | Nov 3, 2019 | Humble Monthly | 2

My prediction of this month being the last chance to get on the preferential pricing for Humble Choice ended up being incorrect. There is another chance if you missed out. And if you still don’t know what I’m talking about — refer...

Time to Loot Journal: October 2019

by Naithin | Oct 31, 2019 | Asheron's Call, Elder Scrolls Online, Journal, Lost Ark, Other Games, Warframe | 9

So… *twiddles thumbs* …I’ve kinda done something just a wee bit crazy. Yesterday I wrote about selecting a mere 5 games to last an entire year. I also encourage others to think about what their list might look like, and already...
