A couple years ago, I wrote a review about my experiences with Celeste, a super difficult game about climbing a mountain. The game was amazing, don’t get me wrong, but it was also quite a trial. And while I did manage to complete the main game (chapters 1-7), there’s a whole lot that I didn’t…

Revisiting Neverwinter
In the latter half of 2018, I became obsessed with the MMO Neverwinter. Actually, it may be more accurate to say that I became obsessed with its characters, classes, and leveling; because once I max-leveled a character in each of its available classes, my general interest fizzled. Oh, I tried my hand at a few…
Oops…I Skyrim’d again
I really don’t know it is with me and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I know that for some players out there, Skyrim has become a lifestyle, a mode of being, a gaming paramour, of sorts. For me, however, Skyrim has become analogous to…well, I want to say “climbing Mount Everest.” That’s overdramatic, but that’s…
Starting three new characters in FFXIV seemed like a good idea at the time….
When I left Final Fantasy XIV over the summer, though I had a mostly fine time with the game, I wasn’t sure when or even if I’d get back to it. At the time, I was keen on getting some final use out of my Fallout 76 sub, and once that was done, I really…
Fable III Co-Op: Better Late Than Never?
With a some extra time on our hands over the recent holiday weekend, my household dug a little further into some multiplayer options through Game Pass. We steered clear of MMOs and looked for local multiplayer and co-op options. In doing so, a huge surprise rose to the top: Fable III. “Wait, WHAT?” was my…
Fallout 76: Year Three in Review
In typing up this review of my third year in Fallout 76, one question stalks my mind: is it my last? I know that I won’t be renewing my Fallout 1st sub after it expires next month. I also know that I don’t plan on dedicating a significant portion of my future gaming time to…
Getting Back To It: Re-Discovering Fallout 3’s Capital Watesland
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a “Getting Back To It” entry. In fact, I think the last one was about a year ago now. What can I say, I haven’t really been sitting on a lot of games. That said though, there is actually one game that I’ve been meaning to get…
Choosing My Own Adventure in Fallout 76
When I last wrote about Fallout 76 in November, I had given an “eh, so what?” to its newest mode, Fallout Worlds. Since then, I’ve only been back to Worlds (Private Worlds) once, cajoling my husband to formulate our own world and give it a go. That go lasted a single session, and we’ve not…
Fallout 76: Year Two in Review
When this past August rolled around, I considered writing and update to my ESO/Fallout 76 from the same time last year. Only then, I remembered that I barely touched ESO over the past twelve months. I found far more comfort in Fallout 76, which sounds strange, because the game is far from comfortable. Looking back,…
