Getting my new WiFi router today so I should be able to start writing articles again 😃

Well let’s hope this is a much better week than the last 3 lol Also heads up, my internet WiFi router got fried (again) in a storm. I’m thinking it’s the power outlet I’m using so I’m going to consider changing the spot. So that means my 2 articles for the week are coming in the back half.

My 1976 list of the most important and consequential games in a year that saw the industry become more commercially viable, led by racing games, sports games, and a title that would help fund the start of Apple #history #tech #gaming #videogames #racing

Tried out Diablo IV for a week. I really liked it, I definitely see why the franchise has such a huge fan base. I had to drop it however because there’s stuff coming up that I need to play like Flintlock and with my limited time wouldn’t have been possible. But I see the vision.

Last week I wrote a review for Tales of Kenzera: Zau, a game that does a great job with a story about grief and loss, and despite gameplay that can get generic, still can be a lot of fun #reviews #videogames #substack

Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a game with a story around grief and loss, executed to near perfection. While the gameplay can get simple and a bit generic, I liked it overall as a solid experience for the year. My review 👇🏽 #reviews #videogames

Home early due to headache, just not good week overall. Going to get some rest and hope the weekend turns it around

started Lord of the Fallen and about 1 1/2 hours in I have mixed feelings. I’m going to keep going to see how I like it. It has that Souls type of feeling but the other world stuff is already super gimmicky
