I Think I’m Finally Bored of New Horizons
After months and months of diligently playing the newest entry to the Animal Crossing series, of carefully crafting the perfect island, decorating the perfect house, and collecting the perfect set of villagers, I think I’m finally bored. That’s not to say the game isn’t fantastic. Because I absolutely love it. But until the next major…
The Sims 4: Saying Goodbye
This is the final post about my experience playing The Sims 4 for the first time. For previous posts in the series, see here (part 1), here (part 2), here (part 3), and here (part 4). Upon venturing into Peeps’ senior years in The Sims 4, one of the first things I did was to…

Top 5: Games Lowest On My Replay List
You may be wondering, how can one formulate a TOP 5 list when that list would appear to highlight things at the BOTTOM of said list? Well, just because something isn’t at the top of a list, it doesn’t mean it’s not worth celebrating, right? Hmm. Lest you think that I don’t understand how lists…
The Sims 4: Staying In and Getting Out

What’s in a Name?
As I’ve been playing quite a lot of The Elder Scrolls Online of late, I recently realized that I’ve become enamored with the strangest distraction: player’s character names.
