I Don’t Think It’s Good to Work Too Hard

Posted on August 11, 2022 by Nathan

I’ve gotten into the habit of writing about a video game when I start playing it, then again when I finish, assuming I ever do. I do tend to post occasional updates to Twitter, however, thanks to the screen capture … Continue reading →

Do the Wrong Thing

Posted on May 15, 2021 by Nathan

No Guests Like Gnomes for the Holidays

Posted on April 13, 2019 by Nathan

I’m sure I don’t need to tell anyone else who’s played the Sims games that they’re incredibly addictive and time-consuming. I’ll generally set goals for when I’ll take a break or at least switch households, but then I often find … Continue reading →

Back to the Labyrinth Again

Posted on November 8, 2018 by Nathan

Etrian Odyssey – I know they did a remake of this a few years back, but I just started playing the original, which I’ve had for a while now. It’s an old-school sort of dungeon crawler in many ways, at … Continue reading →

It Don’t Feel Much Like a Home Without a Dog (or Cat)

Posted on January 5, 2018 by Nathan

The Sims 4: Cats and Dogs – I’ve gotten the expansion pack that lets you have pets in all four Sims games. While I don’t necessarily get pets for every active household, I do for many, as it just seems … Continue reading →

The Game Name

Posted on October 6, 2017 by Nathan

It’s good to know I’m not the only one who gets a bit stressed when trying to name a video game character. I guess it’s a little weird as I’ve always enjoyed making up character names, but at least there … Continue reading →

Lode Runner, Lode Runner, Going Faster Miles an Hour

Posted on May 19, 2017 by Nathan

In this post, I intend to address some connections between video games, many of which I haven’t actually played. I do remember playing Lode Runner on the Apple II in my elementary school days, though. You run around mazes and … Continue reading →

Achieving Simmortality

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Nathan

I usually try to keep my Sims living as long as possible. I mean, I made the effort in creating them, after all. The Sims games all include ways to cheat death, although they’re not all equally effective. In the … Continue reading →

They’ll Never Stop the Sims

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Nathan

I recently had a desire to play some Sims, but The Sims 3 was having problems. It took hours to load, and when it did it tended to crash after I only played it for a little while. I tried … Continue reading →
