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

Gaming Omnivore Art Gallery – Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
It was about this time last year that I came up with the idea to showcase just a few of the many, many screenshots I had saved on my PS4 at the time, it's also (quite)likely I had little else to post for the week(same excuse today?). As I've mentioned frequently since starting this blog, … Continue reading Gaming Omnivore Art Gallery – Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
Reflections on 2020 and Goals for 2021
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

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).

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…
