Still Sick
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it yet — but the COVID swab from last week came back negative, which is good news. New Zealand saw 41 new cases today, bringing us up to 148...
Clearing the Journal
Last Sunday, and again yesterday when I jumped back into Final Fantasy XIV — I did so with purpose. A mission. A mission other than the Main Story Quest. The MSQ could wait. Right...
Coming Games of Interest – 2021 Edition
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these! I did one right back at the start of the blog, in 2019 and then another for 2020. In both cases, they played the...

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...
Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2019
Wowser, eh? What. A. Ride. August was a month that started with hype halfway through July. The mission: Post every day throughout the month of August (or as near to as you can manage)....
