Nice… Goggles.

I’ve never played Day of the Tentacle, or Full Throttle, or… well, I’ve never played any of Tim Schafer’s games, even though he’s one of those “name” developers that has a massive and vocal following. On the other hand, I … Continue reading

In which, I finish a hard game.

These Tombs, they won’t raid themselves.

I shouldn’t be doing any gaming at the moment. I have finals coming up in two weeks and the JLPT3 in 8 days. Still… I have been packing on a lot of stress, and there’s only so much hitting the … Continue reading

15 Minutes with Hell

Blame it on Deus Ex, but I figured I’d try another PC game. Give the consoles a bit of a rest. So, I spent a couple of hours last night, when I should have been getting an early night’s rest, … Continue reading

I’d like to thank, uh, I’m not really sure…
