Time to Loot Journal: October 2025
Not dead! Just occupying that mental space that I suspect a lot of people are sharing right now, where it feels that the end of year break is both still so terribly far away, but also far too close with…

Time to Loot Journal: October 2024
End of year is fast approaching, eh? Another month down, a little less than two to go. Probably our biggest project delivery of the year is done and dusted on the work front, having delivered in the last week. That…
Time to Loot Journal: October 2023
Just realised I hadn’t mentioned this here yet. A month or two or maybe three ago, I started in a new job. Same company, but managing an entirely new (to me) portfolio of products, with a substantially different type of…
Time to Loot Journal: October 2022
October is over. I can scarcely believe we’re already in November. It’s now only a matter of weeks until our company turns out the lights, shuts the door and tells everyone to disappear for a few weeks. Some people object…
Deathloop Early Impressions
Depending on your reviewer of choice, when Deathloop came out you would’ve either had a rather positive or a rather ‘meh’ view of the game before putting hands on it yourself. While the major commercial outlets were exceptionally positive, for…
Time to Loot Journal: October 2021
We are crazy close to the end of the year now. There are only seven weeks, more or less, before the company-wide end-of-year break. And boy, oh boy, am I excited for it. Even if Auckland is still in lock-down…

Time to Loot Journal: October 2020
What a month! Between wife breaking her ankle and the new PC developing a distaste for my 3080 and requiring an RMA, on top of all the usual business at home and work, it’s been quite the busy one. Not…
Humble Choice: October 2020
The last two months have had it such that classic and top tier subscribers for ‘this month only’ received all twelve titles rather than having to select ten or nine respectively. So who knows how long ‘this month only’ will…
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…
Humble Monthly: October 2019
What a mix of emotions this month’s Humble Monthly brings! Overall positivity wins out, but it’s a positivity for the future as this current month’s inclusions are overwhelmingly ‘Meh’. Don’t get me wrong — if I didn’t already own Battletech,…
