Greetings and Happy New Year! It's been 2021 for just over a week, but I still wanted to take a few minutes to look back on 2020. It would still be a bit of an understatement saying this past year was stressful, in what seemed like a never-ending barrage of calamity and catastrophe. For many, … Continue reading Reflections on 2020 and Goals for 2021

I write about video games...that's pretty much it
My Games of 2020
We finally made it! 2020 is completed. Looking back at a tumultuous year filled with ups-and-downs, I can say one thing for certain - it was a damn fine year for video games(if little else). We got to see new DOOM and Animal Crossing games share a release date in March, some great new indie … Continue reading My Games of 2020
EXP Share #2 – Sharing a pastime…
Today's anecdotal ramble-post is inspired by the second round of the WordPress gaming community collaboration - EXP Share, prompted by DanamesX from Tales From the Backlog. We're still in the midst of the holiday season, so for this month's theme we are discussing times we shared our love of gaming with others or they have … Continue reading EXP Share #2 – Sharing a pastime…
Visage
Often times, the most terrifying things are the ones we can't see. The true terror in watching Jaws wasn't what you saw, but rather what you COULDN'T see. You never fully see the man-eating great white shark until the final minutes of the movie, leaving your mind to wonder just what lurks in the waters … Continue reading Visage
Secret Santa Christmas
In the spirit of the holiday season, I am participating in the #CreativeChristmasCollab in which a blogger from around the community is matched up with another to give them a shout out or simply say something nice about them or their blog. 2020 has been a difficult year for everyone and I wanted to spend … Continue reading Secret Santa Christmas
Weekend Gaming Vibes – Playlist #3
It's been two weeks since my last blog post. As much as I'd like to say there's a particular reason I haven't posted anything recently, I've quite simply hit a bit of a drought regarding WordPress posts. I have a handful of loose ideas I would like to write up something for, but most of … Continue reading Weekend Gaming Vibes – Playlist #3
Weekend Game Review – Black Friday 2020 Haul
We've reached the end of November, Thanksgiving has come and gone here in the U.S. and we are officially in the middle of the year-end holiday season. It's been a few months since my last update post talking about what I've been playing recently or what random thought occurred within the confines of my mind. … Continue reading Weekend Game Review – Black Friday 2020 Haul
30 Games Tag
Greetings! It’s the final weekend of November and I've spent the month mostly writing posts related to gaming memories or nostalgia in some way or another. My final #NovemberNostalgia post is the 30 Games Tag, which sounded like a bit of fun after reading Michelle's answers over at A Geek Girl's Guide. Let's-a go, shall … Continue reading 30 Games Tag
EXP Share #1 – The Beginning of it all…
About a month ago DanamesX from Tales From the Backlog introduced a new monthly collaboration post in which fellow gaming bloggers can share their stories and experiences, with a different topic question each month(which I'm completing just short of the deadline, per usual). Having spent the past 30 years of my life playing video games, … Continue reading EXP Share #1 – The Beginning of it all…
Achievement Hunters – Banjo-Tooie
It's time again for another round of achievement hunting! A few months ago, I came up with a simple idea in the Later Levels Discord server - people would all play an agreed-upon game and continue on until collecting every trophy or achievement in the game, writing a blog post about it and what they … Continue reading Achievement Hunters – Banjo-Tooie
