Aloha! (Saying this for my friend who’s out on a cruise, even though she’s not technically going to Hawaii but somewhere just as warm). You may be wondering. “Dave, why are you wearing socks with sandals?” I would say that you should just keep… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2024”

It’s the first month of the year! And it’s also almost the end of February. Yes, it took so much energy to get my Top 50 games played of all time done, along with getting sick recently, that we’re into the last week of… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2024”

It’s a new year, but let’s take one last look at the old year before we continue on! December was not a huge month for new to me games, as I detailed earlier. But quality trumps quantity, so even though there are only three… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2023”

With a convention coming in November, I had a feeling that this New to Me games list would get pretty hefty. Little did I know how hefty it would get! This was a big month for new to me games. Even better, many of… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2023”

October was a great month for new to me games! That’s been a bit unusual lately, so I’m glad that this is back on the upswing. Of course, with every improvement there comes a downside. I played 5 new to me games in October,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2023”

September was a fairly lean month for gaming, especially new to me games. I’ve already talked about my September gaming in general, so how about the monthly chat about “new to me” games? I’m actually quite proud of the fact that this is my… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2023”

July was yet another weird month for games, as I explained in last week’s “games played” post (sorry this one took so long after that). Even with that, I was able to get six new to me games to the table. Granted, three were… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2023”
