low update alert

So with one momentous accomplishment done and done in Hotline Miami I find myself ever closer to its prized platinum trophy. That'll be the trophy you get when you get all other trophies in the game. Doesn't happen very often and until I recently I wasn't going for it here but I'm so close now damn it. Just got to get an A+ grade for every level, this is going about as well as you'd expect.

It's reminding me just how much I enjoy this game though, which is very. Extremely replayable with oodles of tone and atmosphere in the story. I'll stop my gushing here as I believe I've extolled its virtues before. Anyway with the festive season circling around me on all sides like I'm some walking, talking eye of the storm I am officially putting the blog on a low update alert for the next few days. Nothing personal, I'll endeavour to keep writing but there is a chance my brain will not compute amidst all the Christmas razzmatazz. On the off chance I disappear for the next few days Merry Xmas folks, may it be full of the merry and whatnot.

crossover mania

So there's this teaser site ticking away the day, hours and minutes to something almost very Fallout related. There is the collective hope that Fallout 4 is on the horizon. Will it? Can it? Be it? Having played this series since its first atmospheric outing into the future past I can say I am very happy at the prospect. Very few fictional worlds bring it together like this one does, a retro future 1950's America warped, twisted and annihilated by nuclear hellfire but still very much there when you wipe away the ashes. It's bleak, funny and demented and if there's more coming I will be very much doing my happy dance.

recharging batteries

Interrupting this period of blog related inactivity to bring you the latest status update on the situation. Namely that there will be yet more exciting blog related inactivity! For a few more days at least anyway as I enjoy some much needed downtime. Until then consider the gentle words above and the delicate wisdom they impart to you the reader. Laters.

my top 100 games of all time part 1

It begins! You know what? I'm just going to do it. No more procrastination, no more delay, no more shifting the ranking around to accommodate the latest greatest game I've played. No it's time. Time to deliver on a mission I set for myself back in the first glorious age of this blog before everything went dark for a few years. It's happening folks, I am beginning the Top 100 ranking of my all-time favourite video games.  These will be games I've played so if any obvious contenders are not there it's because I never got around to playing them or I did and then forgot about them meaning they probably wouldn't have made the list anyway. It's all entirely my own personal opinion of the games that mean the most to me. It is the sum total of my best experiences in gaming over several decades of playing them. So where better to begin my Top 100 game ranking than by err... the honourable mentions?
