I've been writing this post a lot in my head over the past few days. Partly because I very much wanted to mark the end of last year with some words and it wasn't until June that I finally accepted that wasn't going to happen. But surely if I *thought* about it enough, then that…

Top 5 Video Games of the 2010s
I think the theme of these blogs is "nick something I saw on Twitter and turn it into a blog post". It's not the best plan, probably, but it definitely doesn't sound like the worst either. Anyway, there was a meme a few days ago asking for your Top 5 Video Games of the Decade.…
This Week’s Gaming Vids
I started a new (short) series of a playthrough of the CLASSIC 1992 RPG/strategy game Dune, based on the book (and heavily influenced by David Lynch's movie). It's an AWESOME game.

Who’s the cutest cygnet? (and a new vid!)

So, that ending to Mass Effect 3?
I've spent the past four years avoiding spoilers about Mass Effect 3, but now I've finished my first playthrough, I can go read as much spoilericous content as I like, hurrah! (This is a subtle hint there will be many ME3 spoilers in this entry.) I hate to be spoiled on a first runthrough of…
10 Awesome Things About Dragon Age Inquisiton
Last week I finished my first runthrough of Dragon Age Inquisition, and I loved it. Ridiculously. First, it's Bioware, and I've yet to meet a Bioware game I haven't liked, and secondly, it's Dragon Age, which has my RPG heart. (Yes, I love Mass Effect, and think it is brilliant and fem!Shep is one of…
