Post Gamescom Coverage
While I’m sure this is happening for a wider spectrum of games as well, there are two in particular that are grabbing my attention at the moment. Perhaps as no great shock — they’re the two that were of interest…

The Music of Kaos (Episode 1)
It was another day spent with time at the airport, although this time at least it was coming home. With the time zones involved, despite leaving at a pretty humane hour, I didn’t land back in New Zealand until 23:00…
Building Motivation While it’s in Short Supply – Part 3: We Are Where We Are, But How Do We Get Where We Want?
At the risk of getting this post derailed right from the get-go… Jaedia wrote a great piece on the fact that you cannot fail Blaugust. And she is 100% right. When it comes to Blaugust; just deciding to participate is…
Sitting in the Airport
No figurative title this one — I’m literally in the airport lounge, waiting to depart on a flight to Sydney, Australia for work. We should start boarding in a matter of minutes. It’s a relatively short trip — just a…
Returning to Monster Hunter: Rise
Last time I made a ‘Returning to Monster Hunter’ post, it was for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s release. No such release this time. In fact, if anything, all major releases for Rise are now complete. However, I never finished the…
Building Motivation While it’s in Short Supply – Part 2: Revisiting Old Advice
Part 1 covered the fact that I got into a situation of posting irregularly and infrequently. Blaugust has been a great shot in the arm, as Belghast always intends it to be, but I made it through 31 posts last…
Screenshot Saturday: Black Myth: Wukong
Wowser. I’ve only been able to give Black Myth: Wukong a few hours so far — but I’m impressed. Beyond being a visual feast, the gameplay itself is also strong. If there was any remaining doubt as to what ‘sort’…
Building Motivation While it’s in Short Supply – Part 1: How I Got Into This Mess
I find myself on an unusual side of the ‘Motivation’ conversation at present. When I started Time to Loot, I was posting 3-4 times every week. And I loved it. Despite prior blogging efforts generally dying within the span of…
Maybe I Care About Space Marine 2 After All
Until this point, I would have labelled my degree of interest in Space Marine 2, as ‘mild’. Not really because any of the earlier reveals put a step forward or gave me a bad feeling about the project. More because……
Crimson Desert Got More to Show
With Black Myth: Wukong now in our hands, Crimson Desert came to mind again. It turns out — that too was revealed four years ago. It then went radio silent for three years, although I didn’t cover the videos it…
It’s Monkey Day!
It feels like it has been roughly… I dunno… Forever? But as it turns out, it was only four years ago — to the day, as it turns out — that Black Myth: Wukong was revealed with this (13m!) pre-alpha…
