October 2025 Gaming
Who knew that after my 1000th post celebration, the next one would just be a regular “hey, what did Dave play last month?” post? In other words, we’re back to normal. The cake has been eaten, the ado has been stored so nobody can… Continue Reading “October 2025 Gaming”
Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review
As a kid, I was never really that fond of puppets. It’s not that they creeped me out, necessarily. They weren’t like clowns. I just never really went to puppet shows to be entertained, and Pinocchio was not one of my favourite Disney cartoons.… Continue Reading “Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review”
He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review
Nightmare on Elm Street was one of the few horror movies I could really stomach as a teenager (I’m not really a fan of horror movies, especially with jump scares and the like). There was just something about Freddy Krueger that was cool, plus… Continue Reading “He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review”
It Could Be Anyone! – Final Girl – Panic at Station 2891 Review
Anybody with any horror movie knowledge has heard of The Thing, directed by John Carpenter. This 1982 movie takes place on an Antarctic base with some kind of organism or creature inhabiting people and slowly assimilating all of the members of the scientific team… Continue Reading “It Could Be Anyone! – Final Girl – Panic at Station 2891 Review”
New to Me – August 2025
I love playing games that are new, even more when they’re older but still new to me! You know what I love even more? Having reviewed a bunch of them already so I don’t have to try and condense a description of them for… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2025”
Witch One Will You Convict? – Witchcraft! Review
Solo games make a great thing to do when you’re working at home and want to take a lunch break to enjoy some games. David Thompson, Trevor Benjamin, and Roger Tankersley already have a wonderful solo game called Resist! that almost brought a tear… Continue Reading “Witch One Will You Convict? – Witchcraft! Review”
New to Me – June 2025
Ah, June. Halfway through the year (at the end of it anyway) and it’s good to take stock of where I am in my boardgaming. I’ve played more than half again the number of unique games as I did last year, meaning I (hopefully)… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2025”
He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review
I’ve never been a fan of horror films. They’re inherently silly and, yes, kinda scary at the same time. I’m not big on feeling fear at the movies and jump scares just annoy me (and startle me, yes). For some reason, though, horror tropes… Continue Reading “He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review”
Friday Night Shots – Game Moments That Make You Go “Wow”
I know you keep walking by this bar every Friday night and are constantly amazed when you see the big neon “Open” sign. Especially given my history the last few months. But this is now the fifth weekend in a row where you get… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Game Moments That Make You Go “Wow””
Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#30-21)
When I was first talking about movement on this list between 2022 and 2024, I wasn’t sure how much movement there would be in the Top 10. Those games are still great, shouldn’t they stay up there? Of course, some games might supplant them,… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#30-21)”
