Descenders Early Impressions
The Descenders is a Mountain Biking-themed rogue-lite. No really! It is. I almost went as far as to say rogue-like, because there isn’t really much you unlock that helps you on subsequent runs. All...
Blaugust 2022 in the Rear View
Normally, this post would be my time to reflect back on my Blaugust experience. How did I find it? What did I learn? That kind of thing. But… I’ve already done that. There was...
Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2022
With the completion of this post, I can call close to the challenge of Blaugust 2022. It will be my 31st post in 31 days. Mission complete! Well… Core mission! This year, we also...

Chasing Stats: Part 2
Even I figured I’d get this section written and published perhaps just a few days after Part 1, but things just sort of… kept happening. But here are now! If you need a refresher,...
NaturalVision Evolved Looks Incredible
Bit of a short one from me tonight. I found this trailer for the fan-made NaturalVision Evolved mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 almost a week ago, and it has stuck with me. I’ve...
Gamescom Opening Night
E3- er, no- Gamescom started up today. Google tells me it runs til the 29th (by NZ reckoning). This struck me as something of a surprise, I mean… I know I don’t often pay...
Keep On, Keeping On
Blogging is a hobby that comes with it a multitude of benefits. But it can exact a high price for them. Blogging is one of those hobbies that — especially while you’re getting started...
