Time to Loot Turns One
Well… Turned one. I missed it by a little while. The first post here, ‘Hello!’ went up January 20th 2019. This isn’t the first blog of mine to reach the one-year mark but it is the first one to get there with anything...

Time to Loot Journal: December 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
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!
“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
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...

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
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
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
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
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 6: November Gaming Goals
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
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...
