hello internet!

Well if you guys got a nickel for every time I've said 'I'm back now' shortly followed by 'No really, I am back now' then you guys would have some serious currency on your hands. Not going to fall into that trap today. The only promises being made here are that there are no promises when it comes to my schedule lately. Been steam-rollering through my to-play list though, the one I may have referred to before. The one I'm currently clearing through at the cost of most of my free time.

So in a sense I'm loading up on mental ammunition for the next round of heavy duty blogging that'll be coming your way at TBD. In another very real sense I just need to organise my time better. That said there are plans afoot that should see more activity around these here parts at some point in the near-but-not-going-down-that-road-again future. PC gaming, that glorious but afar promised land of possibility. Been saving up for my return trip after my many a-year hiatus from its golden shores. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. This makes me do a happy dance.

High possibility here that it might just busy me with more non-blogging related stuff to do, on the flip side I'm mulling over the possibilities of putting together let's plays and reviews and other less-wordy stuff that will fit in right at home here around these here parts. That should happen in the next month or two should all go to pot, or plan rather. Yes PC gaming makes me a happy Dave and it might actually lead to this place being updated on a semi-regular basis again. No wait there I go again making promises I can't guarantee. What I will promise though is a reboot of this place. Maybe a new name, new look. Spruce up the joint a tad. An insulin shot to the heart Pulp Fiction style but without the preceding overdose you know the kind of thing.

Until next time, whenever that may be. It should be soon, I want it to be soon but we all know better at this point. Adios!

anime hair and the end of days

I've just completed a game that, in normal circumstances at least, wouldn't generally be my cup of tea. A game remastered and released in 2021 but which originally arrived in 2010 in a somewhat 'adjusted' manner shall we say?. A game I meant to get around to back then but never did and now that I have finally gotten around to both playing and completing it, I'm not entirely sure if I liked it or not. That game is Nier Replicant or to give it it's full re-released title:  Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... because clearly the game alone wasn't baffling enough....

horror movie mania 2023

Once more we return to my favourite time of year. The air cools to a brisk chill, the leaves go red and brown in that deeply pleasing way and the evenings grow steadily darker. This year it's slightly different for me as major non-threatening life events unfolded earlier this month but amidst a flurry of recent activity I have found time to sneak in that most precious of all October past-times, the Halloween-adjacent horror movie marathon.  This year I've managed to watch more than a film or two so thought I'd give my thoughts in brief on each one. These are mostly films that have been on my to-watch list for an age with an exception or two and there may be more than one movie called Halloween as it happens, maybe even more than two. To the hot takes...

gaming archaeology

There is an art to playing old games, a   mindset even. A requisite state of mind thats required in order to play through its history. It's often said that you can't judge the past by the standards of the present and this is true to a point. Beyond that point the present can very much creep into your judgements and I think this is fine too as long as you are honest about it. The present moment can indeed cast a harsh light on the past, revered classics may not hold up even if you can still see what made them tick way back when. Such thoughts have come to mind recently as I found myself playing through the original 1987 release of Maniac Mansion .
