Five Game Challenge Day 13: Learning Things You Already Know
…Because you forgot. Not a little bit forgotten. But completely forgotten. Ejected from memory. *sniff* Poor knowledge-memories. This time, I’m talking about the occasional rise in ambition I feel to really dive deep into knowledge sharing and guide writing for a particular game. I...

Five Game Challenge Day 12: I’m Here to Help! (Fortuna Edition)
I not entirely sure why I’ve put off going to Fortuna for so long. But I wonder if it might be around feeling like I needed to ‘catch-up’ in some way to ‘earn’ the right to go. Which is silly, given I’ve cleared way past this point already. A new player could be...

Five Game Challenge Day 11: Is it a Bird? … a Plane?
No! It’s that I finally took a screenshot of flying over the Plains of Eidolon! :D I was there to unlock a weapon Riven — the challenge I had was to destroy three of the flying craft in the area, and then also kill the pilots before they hit the ground. >.< So far as Rivens go...

Five Game Challenge Day 10: Ain’t no Mountain High Enough
Or at least, that is certainly the belief. I haven’t tried the ascent yet. Maybe the title should be, “He’ll be comin’ around the mountain” instead. Because that I did do. I took a different route from normal too. Usually I would strike out east from Whiterun and come...

Five Game Challenge Day 9: Regaining Mastery of your own Destiny
I got to play game again last night and this morning! My goodness weekends are glorious. When I was first getting back into the swing of things with Warfame, it was enough just to be relearning the how. Resurfacing some of the ol’ muscle memory. The what was a far distant secondary concern....

Five Game Challenge Day 8: Diablo 4 Hype…?
If I just had the gameplay video to go on — I probably could’ve quite easily avoided the hype mobile for this one. It doesn’t look bad just nothing to get all bouncing-on-the-couch excited about either. The 9-minute cinematic was also very cool — but in terms of a game...

Five Game Challenge Day 7: Looking Forward
When I first imagined this end-of-week series throughout the month, it was more along the thinking of acknowledging the games entering my awareness that were at risk of making me break the challenge. But right now at this admittedly very early juncture that doesn’t seem to actually be a...

Five Game Challenge Day 5: Extracting Value
Earlier today when I was thinking about this post, it flowed really well and was quite smart to boot. I’ve been staring at the blank page for a few minutes now trying to capture even the barest hint of what I was thinking earlier. So let’s just all pretend together that I’m...

Five Game Challenge Day 4: Hunting Eidolons
I left off Warframe in a weird space. In some ways I was very advanced. I have collected the parts for, built, and leveled a good number of Prime frames. I’ve a large arsenal of weaponry. I even accumulated a significant bank of platinum through trades. But in certain other ways — I...

Five Game Challenge Day 3: Becoming Dovahkiin (Again)
I thought this weekend might be filled with simply ‘getting ready’ to play things. As troublesome as extensively modding Skyrim might still be — it still went a lot faster than I remember from the days before mod managers and the like. Warframe of course needs no mods —...

Five Game Challenge Day 2: Modding Skyrim
Selecting, downloading and installing mods for a Bethesda game used to be a multi-day process. I remember for Morrowind patches of spending more time in the Mod forums than actually playing the game. And then of course, once you did actually start playing it was a slow dance of trepidation and...

Day 1: Kicking off the Five Game Challenge
This will likely be a bit of a short post — I’ve only just sat down to the computer at home now, at about 11:10pm. So I have roughly 50 minutes to get this out before I miss my post-every-day target on the very first day. If you missed it so far, the short of it is as a bit of a...

Time to Loot Journal: October 2019
So… *twiddles thumbs* …I’ve kinda done something just a wee bit crazy. Yesterday I wrote about selecting a mere 5 games to last an entire year. I also encourage others to think about what their list might look like, and already there are a number of great responses! The Gaming...

Madness! Picking Just 5 Games for a Year
Now, I’m not much of one to partake in Halloween generally. But I came across something truly terrifying that I had to share. No, terrifying isn’t enough. It’s horrifying. Any other time of year, I might’ve had a quiet shiver and let it pass. But no. It’s Halloween...
