I saw a boar-like creature. It wasn’t bothering me, but it had something I needed. So I did what video games have taught me to do and struck it with my knife. Read more

About fifteen bucks per colon dot. Read more

My wife do this for nearly every game. It feels like getting $60 games at launch for $30, although we usually wait for a sale. We each have a Switch, Xbox One, and Playstation 4. My wife plays exclusively on her consoles and I play between both as they are in separate rooms. Read more

Between Spiritfarer and Mixolumia, this has been a very good week for chillaxed games.

Really excited to sit down with Spiritfarer and get lost on the high seas. :)

I don’t think it has to be a year but I would like some more visibility on when these games are going away. Read more

Not really, I like EDM but have some self awareness about it.  Read more
