In this post I continue my series of playing games after they are no longer hot, or the “in thing” for the first time – long after all of you have played it. I enjoy being fashionably late! Besides, this gives you the opportunity to relive your own experiences through my eyes. I am also…

Quote of the Day
Ironically, from a “Quote of the Day” article. I laughed out loud when I read this over at TAGN, from Wilhelm (the author) himself in the comments section. EVE isn’t even, objectively speaking, a very good game to play. To expand on that of course, you have to add in the rest: But the teamwork…
EA Earning Their Reputation
Shocker to many of you, I know. For me historically I have been an EA supporter. I remember back in the 80s if your game had the EA logo pop up during loading screens you were in for a treat – a good game Even publically on this blog I had defended EA due to…
#Project Zomboid Winners!
Congratulations to Izlain, Asmiroth, and Joseph Skyrim for winning the indie title. Please send me an email (chris@ihaspc.com) and I’ll send along your steam keys. Plenty of time to die in the Zombie Apocalypse for the weekend! On that note, I have my longest running survivor going a full week so far of life. I…
Project Zomboid
I am a gamer of discovery. In the past I would read a lot of things about games that were new to me – best first steps, tips and tricks, things to avoid (etc.) but as of late I have taken a less proactive approach and have just dove into games. Games should, by nature…
Freaky Friday!
In the movie “Freaky Friday” a mom and daughter switch bodies – effectively experiencing each other’s lives directly. This time warp is a neat backdrop for a story and a movie, and I am introducing a theme post here to reflect that. Freaky Friday is when I am going to revisit an old post I have…
Stay in the Hinterlands!
Google DA:I and read the reviews and a lot of them look like this link. Everyone is recommending to get out of the Hinterlands fast. The game gets way better afterwards. Some even suggest you are doing it wrong if you don’t, and should just stay there for the whole game and be a farmer….
Nitpicking
When I was in grade 8 my teacher brought in local professions to talk to our class. It was kind of like “bring a parent” day but just not anyone’s parents. One time he brought in a local artist and the artist brought in pieces of his completed work but also works in progress. Part…
Completionism
My wife went away for the weekend, meaning a couple great things. I get a lot of one on one time with the kid I get a lot of video game time. I mean, I will miss her dearly, but sometimes you just have to fight through the loneliness. (sound convincing enough? *grin*) Truth is…
Glory Dos Days
Aywren beat me to posting this but I had bookmarked the site a couple of days ago: there are 2300+ Classic MS-Dos games waiting for you to play in full emulated in web browser glory. Some defining gaming moments are available, I have been having a lot of fun just browsing the titles available (that…
Mobile Games – Pay or Nay?
I have only written about Mobile games here once on the site, and that very recently. Odd for me to think especially considering I am always loading up a few titles to mess around with. Before I get into the ones I am playing now that is actually online gambling I have to say thanks…
Technology Creep
When gamers talk about “creep” they are often discussing things such as “Power Creep”. I don’t want the title of this short piece to be confused with that. I am talking about pure creep-y, which is a much different kind. I consider myself very tech friendly and tend to early adopt and welcome technology into…
