My Back. My Log. My Backlog. (Part 1)
Welcome to the “Year of the Backlog!” I’ve got dozens and dozens of games in my collection that, for one reason or another, got away from me.

My Gaming Year In Review (2025)

Video Game Catfishing: When The Title Doesn’t Match The Face
Like books, video game titles usually give us a pretty good clue as to the kind of adventure we should expect from the experience. Most conventional titles will include the main character’s name or a reference to them. But, every once in awhile, there’ll be a game that will throw off our expectations entirely. JoinContinue reading “Video Game Catfishing: When The Title Doesn’t Match The Face”
By The Beard of Zeus: Top Ten Beards in Games
November may be “No-Shave November,” but September 6th is World Beard Day! Beards come in all shapes and sizes (and can keep you warm on a chilly day!).
