I started a couple projects last year, quickly abandoning them as I often do.  One of them involved Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I loved, and still love, Oblivion.  I just love it to death.  One of the best games ever.  There is so much freedom in that game, and so few […]

Goodbye, and Thank You

February 14th, 2008 · 9 Comments · Blather

This isn’t going to be easy. For you, I mean. Because for literally days you’ve been visiting this blog for sporadic, incorrectly reported news and vaguely game-related topics and links to better sites. And now that’s over. And now… I’m leaving.

If you’re a gamer of any caliber, you’re already familiar with Ben “Yahtzee” Crowshaw’s Zero Punctuation video game review movie things. This week he covers Sim City Societies, a game that neither I, nor, as far as I can tell, anyone else on planet Earth gives an actual shit about.

Spore To Spew In September

February 12th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Gaming
