Revisiting Devour
Yet again I find myself in a familiar situation. It goes like this: The Squad is discussing what we should play with this past weekend.I bring up Devour. It’s been a few months since we last played it, there were a few maps added since we last played, and we always have a good time…

All the Way to the Top
I just finished reading Lost Man’s Lane by Scott Carson. That’s not the topic of today’s post but it’s a good book. You should read it. It’s got a ghost-snake. It’s also got some awesome rock climbing scenes. Upon finishing it, I wondered if there were any rock climbing games out there. This is the…

Choppin’ it up with Conan Chop Chop
Here’s a list of things I know about the Conan the Barbarian IP: I’ve seen the movie once or twice. I haven’t read any of the books. I tried the free to play version of Age of Conan a handful of times but never stuck with it. I apparently own Conan Exiles but I haven’t…

The Pegasus Expedition: Desperate Humans Wage War with Everything!
When I pick a game for the monthly Blaugust Reviews Humble Choice, I try to pick something that I wouldn’t normally buy on it’s own or play. I’ve found some great games this way but sometimes I run into games that just don’t click with me. The Pegasus Expedition is one such game available in…

The Goals of 2025
We’re almost 2 weeks into the new year! Are you having a good year so far? Seems kind of the same as last year to me…Anyways, I’ve been marinating on my goals for 2025. You might call it procrastination, but I was thinking really hard about them (ok probably not). Looking back, I’ve never actually…

Backlogged: Wytchwood
Alright, time kick off the first Backlogged post of 2025! Let’s see, the last time I did one of these was *checks notes* – Horizon Zero Dawn back in July 2023. Wow, been a while the . That tracks though, it’s probably the last time I finished a game. So Wytchwood must of done something…

Nuclear Nightmare could be fun, eventually.
Nuclear Nightmare is a game that asks: What would happen if you and your friends were dropped off in Antarctica and asked you to collect some classified materials? There may also be an impending nuclear strike heading to your location, best to clear out before that happens. Oh and did we mention the snow monsters?…

Just a Few this Time
Even though I wasn’t playing all that much last year, I was still buying games. Which in retrospect, seems a bit silly as they’re still sitting, unplayed, staring back at mean mournfully from my library. But those games are old now, and the Winter Sale had new games to buy, so I set out to…

Kluwes’ January 2025 Goals
Happy New Year! Now begins the one to two month period where I constantly write the wrong year. It’s also, what I feel like, the beginning of winter here. No more holidays to look forward to, only grey skies, cold weather, and snow until May. We’ll have to find some fun, indoor activities, to do…

Wrapping Up December 2024
This month, I… December Goals Meet my Storygraph “Pages Goal” for the year: I read more this year than I ever have since I started tracking books. My goal was 14,000 pages this year and I not only met that, but exceeded it by 800 pages. A lot of that had to do with spending…

Crime Bossin’ in Rockay City
What drew me to pick Crime Boss: Rockay City – First Month Edition for this month’s Blaugust Reviews Humble Choice was the silly name. At first glance, it sounds like the name of a poorly translated JRPG. Even taking off First Month Edition, which refers to the extra DLCs included, it’s generic sounding enough to…
