sleep mode

Well this has been a week or so ongoing of me being perpetually bereft of the energy required to blog like the proverbial mofo that I am. Nothing but memes and apologies for memes because who doesn't look reading those? Well me for a start.

The bad news is I'm still in low energy mode. That said I don't expect it to last very the much longer. All the usual reasons apply i.e work, job, life etc. Just not the time or inclination left in me to type away about my days exploits. My adventures in mundane everyday life not being the stuff of legend if I'm honest, they'd barely make a good mid-afternoon made-for-TV movie drama. That's the bottom of the particular barrel I'm scraping here.

The good news is my aforementioned list of favourite games is still in the making. Having moved on from being a vague scribble in a notebook its now a slightly more legible scribble that, when looked upon in the right light, almost reads like words and shit. That'll be stage two then. Suffice to say there's a rough list of games in some kind of order and a few allotted words next to them summing up why they're there. Expect a rather more refined, filtered and articulate arrangement of these words shortly.

As for me, its time to go back into sleep mode. Recharge the parts of my brain that usually provide the nonsense I pass off as credible blog writing. Adios!

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?

completionism 2025: mega edition

BEHOLD... THE MEGA EDITION! It's time o nce again!  With no further ado b ut actually with some ado I am going to recap my personal year in gaming. The scintillating highs, the cratering lows with all points in-between and beyond spoken for as well. It's that most holy of end of year traditions and let me tell you I am both up for it and down for it simultaneously. On reflection I've somehow said the same thing twice there. Alas now's not the time to deliberate on the foibles and quirks of the English tongue! No it's the time for gaming and a super mega f-tonne of it as well! It's been a busy year for me outside of the gaming habit but yet somehow I have managed to squeeze in another fifty or so games. If the old gaming backlog I complain so much about was looking considerably lighter at the end of 2024 then it's positively slender now at the end of 2025. The list is still mostly comprised of 'old' games but yet again more and more curren...

piledriving skeletons

I've talked about it before but Guacamelee! has to be one of the most joyful games I've played in a while. A colourful, funny utterly charming platformer where you take on skeletons as an undead luchador risen from the great thereafter to save the woman he loves. Because that's how he rolls. Seriously though this feels like a game made entirely for me. That of course raises the possibility that somewhere out there someone is tracking every move I make for the purposes of catering to my every whim, which is something that should terrify us all really.
