Another fine day of manly gaming as men.

Traveling to Los Angeles and Seattle over the last two weekends had prevented me from getting together with my gaming spouse, as he is now referred to by my wife, to finish Earth Defense Force, but I’m actually home this … Continue reading

Osu! Tatakae! Obsession!

Yes, I know, Ouendan 2 is already out, and if I were a true fan I’d have it already, but for now, for now I am going back to the original game with a mission. You may have noticed, if … Continue reading

Giant bugs and hoppy bunnies

I came *this* close to having another game on the “played through” pile Saturday. I don’t often have people over – I have lots of friends who I’ve known for years and share interests with, but most of them live … Continue reading

P.N.03 – played & confused
