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”

Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years, I can definitely say that it’s one of the most beautiful areas on Earth, both on the US side and the Canadian side of the border.

While April wasn’t a really full month of games, it was surprisingly full of new to me games! Six new to me games out of the fourteen I played is actually a really good ratio. I love it when months come together like that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2025”
