It’s funny, but no matter how bad a month might be as far as playing games, I usually get a decent number of “new to me” games played. I thought July would be slow, but it ended up being pretty normal. I also thought,… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2025”

Being off for almost the entire month of July, I wasn’t expecting much on the gaming front. However, I managed to attended a Wednesday night meet-up a couple of times, which greatly helped take the place of our normal lunchtime games at work, at… Continue Reading “July 2025 Gaming”

The game, not the killing. I’m fighting for Cleopatra! Or… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2024”

July was a good month. When you have the entire month of July off of work as vacation, it’s a glorious month! It was sadly not a month for writing, which I apologize for to anybody who’s been anxiously awaiting the chance to read… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2022”
