When we last left our hapless hero he was besieged by the problems of too many games to play with too little time to both play them and blog about them. A knife edge cliffhanger if ever there was one, surely one day it'll form part of an exciting box set.

So what I have I been doing instead of blogging about games? Well playing them mostly. Diminishing that momentous pile and overcoming all odds only to find there is still an f-tonne of games to play. Still progress is key however incremental. Thus far its been a high ratio of quality to bullshit which is always good when you are force-feeding your brain entertainment.

Let's see. There was BioShock Infinite. That was good. Infamous 2. Also good. Uncharted 3. You get one guess on that one. Zone of the Enders HD and its sequel. Less good. Spelunky. Infuriating but good. Beyond Good and Evil HD. Over-rated and intermittently good. Currently I am progressing through The Last of Us, just your average masterpiece. Possibly good, definitely great.

All games, all the time. Also TV. Also books. Also work and sometimes life. Somewhere down that list comes the blog rising from the cold ashes like a fiery phoenix bird of some description. Possibly a phoenix. Anyway the long and short of it is I'm going to blog on a regular basis again. Huzzah! Probably won't be a daily update, at least not for now but it'll be somewhere between daily and never. Let's set the bar reassuringly low and say a couple of times a week at least. More thoughts incoming shortly.

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?
