Posted on March 28, 2017 by baudattitude

Posted on March 26, 2017 by baudattitude

(Well, for certain values of “gud”, anyway.) A few months back, the Bloodborne “Old Hunters” DLC went on sale on PSN, so I finally bought it.  Naturally, this meant that I had to go back to the original game and … Continue reading →

I Just Played 52 Hours of Horizon: Zero Dawn

Posted on March 13, 2017 by baudattitude

Jeux D’un Certain Âge

Posted on February 18, 2017 by baudattitude

I’m not ever going to claim to be particularly athletic, but today was quite possibly the most immobile I’ve been in some while.  I split it between watching TV with my wife and playing through Saturn games that are old … Continue reading →

Wonderswan and on and on…

Posted on February 14, 2017 by baudattitude
