It may be November, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s still Spooky Season until Christmas Day. So it doesn’t feel too late to talk about Halloween gaming and events. I did play Haunted by Daylight, even though I didn’t entirely understand it. I didn’t really go into the...

There has been some quite exciting game news recently. I was surprised but excited by the announcement for the Tomb Raider IV – VI Remastered pre-order. I suspected we would get remasters for The Last Revelation and Chronicles, but wasn’t feeling too hopeful that Angel of Darkness would get...

This started as a worldbuilding project for an eventual janky game, basically because I wanted an excuse to have a different alphabet on screen (y’all know I love a good alphabet), but then I thought about it way, WAY too much. I must note that this project uses the...

Long-time readers (or really, anyone who hasn’t been here very long, but has eyes) likely remember that I’m a Jew. Jews have the ethnoreligion, belonging to our race and with practices relating to our homeland, so called Judaism after us and our place of origin. Most people think “Abrahamic...
