  • A Bit of Filler

    I read Belghast’s post this morning about just writing and a topic might jump out at you. That’s an approach I should take more often. Even if it doesn’t lead to something riveting  at least I’m sitting down and interacting with my blog. Today is one of those days where I don’t feel like writing.…

  • Hellhounds and Devilfish

    Last night we played more of Hunt: Showdown. I’m not sure how many matches, they all kind of blend together, but we did manage to extract with the Bounty twice. Which  let us recoup all of the money we lost dying all night. I’m not sure what was up, whether it was my internet, my…

  • Hunt: Showdown First Impressions

      Next on the list of games that are outside my normal genre we have Hunt: Showdown. Or as I like to call it Bayou Zombie Simulator 2020. Greg has wanted this game for a while and its made for duos so I figured I’d try it out too. First impressions: wow I suck at…

  • GTFO or Trying to At least

    We’ve been experimenting with GTFO this weekend. And by experimenting I mean dying over and over and over again. But hey, losing with your friends is better than losing by yourself, you always have someone to blame! With approximately 4 hours of gameplay under my belt here’s what I can tell you. GTFO is a…

  • Bunny Day has Arrived

    Over the past two weeks, I’ve been slowly working towards crafting all of the Bunny Day recipes for Animal Crossing. Lately, the main bottleneck has been water eggs. I felt like I was getting more eggs than fish during the first few days of the event but I’ve been hard-pressed to find them this week.…

  • Breaking Resolutions

    It looks like my New Years Resolution lasted until April. That’s probably the longest I’ve ever kept one anyways. And, to be honest, technically I broke it but I don’t know if I broke it in the spirit of things. I set out a lofty goal to only by a select few games that I…

  • Home Sweet Home

    Today I’m officially moving into my first house! We started looking in January, found a house at the beginning of February, and have been going through the long process that is buying real estate. It’s a weird time to move, that’s for sure, but as long as I’m going to stuck at home I won’t…

  • Alone Together in Animal Crossing

    For the last 2 weeks, we’ve been playing Animal Crossing every day. Between my wife and our little island is coming along nicely. We’ve just built the tailor shop and a campsite and are currently working on paying for another bridge. Animal Crossing’s local multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired.  For one, the first…

  • Deja vu

      If there’s one constant in my gaming habits it’s this: if I start a game and leave it for a few months, the next time I want to play I will start over. I can’t get back into it from the point I left off. Reasons being I won’t remember what’s going on in…

  • I Don’t Mind Time Gates

    As I wait for a raccoon to upgrade my home I have come to the realization that I play a lot of games that use time gates. Animal Crossing, Warframe, and Trove all feature this little “mechanic” and they all use real-world time as the gate. And these gates aren’t small. The mere concept of…

  • The Worst Seasonal Event Ever

    Here’s an unpopular opinion: I don’t think the Animal Crossing Bunny Day event is that bad.  Is Zipper super creepy? Yes, his dead eyes do stare into your soul for a tad too long. Is it annoying to get eggs instead of materials/fish? Kind of. But you know what? Shooting down all those packages has…

  • April 2020 Goals

    I have a feeling there just won’t be as many jokes today. It’s still a very serious time for everyone. I received news yesterday that the date for working at home has been extended until at least May 1st. I didn’t think I’d miss going in to work. Working from home was cool for 2…
