I realize in writing this review of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem that I am evenly split in my regards to the game. On one hand, it is by far the most successful Action RPG for me personally. I have tried (and failed to enjoy) genre titans like Diablo, Torchlight, and Titan Quest. Wolcen is the … Continue reading I Played Wolcen
Timespinner (PC, 2018)
I don't have a lot to say about Timespinner except that it was fun enough. I kickstarted the game on a whim back when kickstarters still seemed like good ideas. I finally got around to playing it and breezed through. I found the game to be more interestingly, narratively-speaking, then in how it played. It … Continue reading Timespinner (PC, 2018)
I am the Moon Lord!
In my desperate, post-Slay the Spire doldrums, I decided to go back to Terraria, another game I’ve spent hundreds of hours on already. The last time I played, I tried to get to the Moon Lord and failed miserably. Details are poorly stored in my memory banks, but I think it was a mix of … Continue reading I am the Moon Lord!

I loved it then, and that love never stopped. I am not an achievement-seeker or a completionist at heart. However, I never mind doing either as a side effect … Continue reading Slain the Spire
A Brief Journey in World of Warcraft Classic
Few genres are as nostalgic for me as the MMORPG. While EverQuest and Ultima Online remind me of summer, I strongly associate World of Warcraft with Christmas break. In a bid to recapture some of that glory, I felt a bit weak during the holidays and resubbed so I could try out WoW Classic for … Continue reading A Brief Journey in World of Warcraft Classic
Vagrant Story, 20 Years Later
There are a few facts about me that you must know before this article makes sense: Final Fantasy Tactics (FFT) is one of my favorite games of all time. Anything even tangentially-related to FFT is instantly of interest to me. In and around the year 2000, I was a Squaresoft fanboy, and I bought almost … Continue reading Vagrant Story, 20 Years Later
