The past few weeks I've spent a fair amount of time going through my game collection, particularly those on cartridges. I have recently amassed a few dozen more games, most of which being Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, with a few N64 and Gamecube ones mixed in. For whatever the reason, I actually find the … Continue reading Controller Repair Day
Quite often, gamers will reference their backlog of games as some sort of fantastical beast which must be vanquished and a source of shame if left unconquered. Blog/stream friends Kim from Later Levels and Genni from Ace Asunder, have created a monthly challenge dubbed #LoveYourBacklog in which you embrace your love of gaming rather than … Continue reading #LoveYourBacklog 2021

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
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
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.

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
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…
