Time to Loot Turns Two
I did it again. I missed the blogiversary by a few days. But I also did it again in the sense of making it through another year of consistent blogging. Certainly, I posted less this year (I’ll get to the stats later) but I still haven’t...

Looking Back on 2020 Gaming
I haven’t been at this as long as Belghast has — either blogging more generally or looking at gaming over the span of entire years. I picked up the idea from him after the 2019 edition of the post and thanks to the monthly tracking I...

Time to Loot Journal: December 2020
While undoubtedly we all know on an intellectual level that no arbitrary switch in date will bring with it immediate change for the better, there still seems to be a feeling of symbolic importance to the changing of the year. The ability to put the...

Humble Choice: December 2020
Disappointing. Perhaps disappointing for any month — but particularly disappointing for the month of Christmas. It isn’t that there isn’t anything at all in here worth the price of admission. Just… The rational value...

Time to Loot Journal: November 2020 (Five Game Challenge Day 30)
The stitches came out of my thumb earlier this evening. Just down to a more moderate looking wrap on it now too, so things are on the up and up I reckon- looking less like a mummy each day. Then tomorrow — fingers crossed; as this is by no...

Five Game Challenge Day 20: Typing One-Handed
Welp… In a case of good news / bad news… It has become even easier to avoid playing things outside of my list. But that’s because I may not be playing anything for a bit. Or posting much for a bit. Managed to give myself a fairly...
Read More Five Game Challenge Day 19: Giants Riding Dragons
I almost didn’t notice at first. But that Dragon is being ridden by a Giant. I just happened to be able to snap off this shot because I’d opened the favourites menu to switch to bow, with the odd pair just sort of… right there in...

Five Game Challenge Day 18: Bleary Eyed
*blinks* Wha- What time is it? Why are you guys here in my bedroom? Oh boy. I’m really not ready for this. *rubs eyes* Right. Um. I might have some leftovers from the other night’s RimWorld play around here somewhere… Oh. No? I...
Read More Five Game Challenge Day 17: Val’Danaar Takes Shape (RimWorld)
Probably a bit of a quicker update tonight. Left it perhaps a little later than is advisable to start writing. Given that, really, I should be heading to bed now. Anywho! Roughly where we left things last night. So yes. Carrying on from yesterday....
Read More Five Game Challenge Day 16: Starting a RimWorld Colony
Don’t worry — I can in fact count. I know Day 15 is missing. But that’s because I actually did miss it unfortunately. Went to sleep pretty early yesterday as I wasn’t feeling particularly well. Just hayfever kicking my butt...

Five Game Challenge Day 14: Nioh 2 PC is a Thing
And also for PS5, if that’s your preference. Nioh 1 and Nioh 2 will both be ‘remastered’ for the next gen. I use quotes because I’m currently skeptical around their use of the term. Demon’s Souls is a remaster....

Five Game Challenge – Day 11: Keeping on the Path
Amended title: Keeping on the path mostly. I launched Valhalla. So far as the menus. I took a look at the configuration. Went so far as to run a benchmark. (Incidentally, the Ubisoft Benchmark tools in Watch Dogs Legion and Valhalla actually...

Five Game Challenge – Day 10: Looking Forward #1
Last year during the Five Game Challenge, every week or so, I posted a ‘Looking Forward’ piece that aimed to identify the games that were in or entering my sphere of awareness that threatened to knock me off the path of the challenge...

Five Game Challenge – Day 9: Keeping Track of the Action
I’ve kind of done a lot in Skyrim since the last post. Yes. I know that last post was only yesterday. Sort of. I had written it the day before though, whereas now I’m back to writing for the day. So a lot of time has passed, and some of...

Five Game Challenge – Day 8: Poor Lydia
The body above there isn’t Lydia. But I probably should’ve taken it as an omen of things to come. I mean… There is weapon jutting out of his chest. And he is really quite dead. Presumably the two things are linked. In any case, I...

Humble Choice: November 2020 (Five Game Challenge – Day 7)
Another bundle, another month, another ‘limited time’ offer to pick-up all twelve games in the bundle if you’re a Classic or Premium subscriber. Last month, for the first time in a while, there were some titles I was actually...

Five Game Challenge Day 5 – Danger Dates!
The hankering to play something off-list might’ve died down with my recent enamourment with Skyrim. And yes, even Watch Dogs: Legion which I’d only managed to just get started with before November rolled around, has been successfully...

Five Game Challenge Day 4: Staying Awake is the Hardest Part
First: Some good news. The urge to play something off my list of five games that struck so hard on day two has passed. For now. I’m sure it’ll be back later but right now Skyrim is really scratching my gaming itch. The problem, as it...

Five Game Challenge Day 3: Modding Skyrim (Again)
As recently as yesterday morning, I was questioning the supposed wisdom in keeping Skyrim in my list of five games for another year. I wasn’t quite feeling the desire to jump in and play it, so the prospect of running through the process of...

Five Game Challenge 2020 – Day 2: Tough Road Ahead
Sticking to the five games for November is going to be tough this year. Tougher than last year, by a long shot, I reckon. It was the very last day of October that I discovered the actual cause for my new PC build’s instability and resolved...
