Long-Distance Friendships
I don’t think gaming would be as prevalent and important in my life without my friends. Some of my best memories around video games have been with friends. Long nights trying to beat Demon souls, hours spent grinding our way through monster hunter, hanging out after school and playing a few rounds of the terrorist…

Reintroducing I’m Not Squishy
This blog is in its 4 years. I use the term year lightly as some “years” I’ve been active here for a month or 2 before disappearing. However, it is Getting to know you week for Blaugust so let’s get to know this blog. I’m Not Squishy came in to being as the result of…

Audio Drama Sunday: Space, demons, and a little bit of magic.
I’m trying out a new feature. I’ve been getting into audio dramas and audio fiction a lot over the last few months. I wanted a place to put my thoughts down on the things I’m listening to each week instead of making them separate posts like I had previously tried with Vast Horizon:…

Why Write a Game Blog?
Last week we looked at why we read game blogs. This week, let’s talk about why we write game blogs. This blog is now 3 and a half years old. That’s crazy, where has the time gone? While I haven’t always written here, it’s been in the back of my mind every day since it…

Getting Strange with the Strange Brigade
The Strange Brigade is one of my new favorite multiplayer games. My group has played it a few times over the last month and it has quickly become a group favorite as well. It’s like multiplayer Tomb Raider set in 1930’s Egypt. We haven’t gotten very far, the missions are quite long and usually,…

Sanctum 2 – Electric Boogaloo
Sanctum 2 was on my wishlist for years. Like at least 2 years. Every time there was a steam sale I’d see it for $3 and try to convince my friends that we should play this one as our next multiplayer game. It looked right up our ally. 4 player co-op, perfect of our group…

Write what you like to read
It’s brainstorming week for and I figured I should write something on the topic. Though take this advice with a grain of salt, I am far from a consistent, everflowing source of content. One of the major benefits of participating in Blaugust, it forces you to flex those brainstorming muscles Brainstorming is a skill that…

That Second Screen Life
I’ve been having a little debate with myself for months. Do I want a second monitor? Yes. Do I need a second monitor? Well, it’d be nice. What would you even do with it? Oh you know, stuff…. For the longest time, I wanted a 27″ monitor but that would look weird with the 24″…

Backlogged: The Last Door- Season 2
The Last Door: Season 2 took me longer to finish than the first season both in hours played and the time I took between each episode. Season 1 grabbed me and didn’t let go, the story was interesting with each episode leaving me with such a good cliff hanger I just had to know what…

This week Jay and I took down Ultra Shadow Hydrakken with just the two of us. We’ve been stick on Ultra Vengful Pinata God for a month or 2. We try to clear the shadow towers on Mondays when the bonus is in effect for the Titan’s Treasure. It helps keep the flux fund up…

Why Read Video Game Blogs?
I’ve been reading game blogs longer than I’ve been writing one. I don’t quite remember how I found this corner of the internet but once I found it I didn’t want to leave. As inactive as this blog may be at times, I have never stopped reading others’ blogs. It’s become part of my daily…

Pinatas and Dragons
I took a few weeks break from Trove after playing heavily for the last 2 or 3 months. For a while, I just wasn’t making any progress on my main classes and I had gotten a little bored of the No Sleep Podcast. So I logged in on Mondays for my rewards and hoped I’d…
