Achtung, Buddy

Unfortunately for the Great Backlog Project, I didn’t play many video games for the last couple of months while I was in Japan.  Even worse for aforementioned Great Backlog Project, I did buy quite a few. However, I have been … Continue reading

Partying as if it were 1999

So, back in December of 1999, I wasn’t playing many games.  I was playing game, one, singular, that being Everquest, which both my wife and I were hooked on at the time, so I wasn’t looking through the shelves of … Continue reading
