I Am Afraid of a Certain Number of Ghosts.

A few days ago, I mentioned that I had celebrated my lack of a games backlog by buying Luigi’s Mansion 3 during the Nintendo eShop sale.  I hadn’t played the first two games in the series, but it looked fun … Continue reading

Rhythm & Blue Foxes

So, back in the 90s, I didn’t really get in to any of Nintendo’s big franchise games.  I tried a bit during the N64 years – I bought the Mario game and the Zelda game – but, to be perfectly … Continue reading

Done stabbing mans – also, I’m a pretty pretty princess.

Well, Assassin’s Creed decided to stop crashing halfway through levels, and decided instead to start crashing between levels, so I was able to finish it. I don’t know quite how to describe my feelings on this – on the one … Continue reading

P.N.03 – played & confused
