I finished up Mass Effect 1 yesterday, and hot damn does that game still hold up. There are some moments that are definitely victim to the design sensibilities of the times, but its ability to tell scan impactful a succinct story in under 20 hours is incredible.

It’s hard to reconcile how BioWare went from this to where they are today. It’s honestly really sad.

Woke up to a decent chunk of snow this morning. Always brings a smile to my face. Growing up in Aus I had never seen snow until I was like 34 years old.

Rewatched The Village last night for the first time since 2004. The cast is so stacked, but I really was surprised that they revealed the whole twist so early. There are some great scenes but overall the film is pretty average. I love the concept though. Might pull on it for a Blades campaign or something. #movies

I keep a game journal log when I review games, or when I play longer games so if I sit them down I can remember what I did last, or how I feel about a game.

I think my entry from my first session with Thank Goodness You’re Here sums the game up pretty well. Love it so far.

I have once again entered the world of survival horror.

Sick with COVID, so to de-stress I thought I’d revisit one of the most stressful games I’ve played.

Still holds up. I love how cheesy the opening FMVs are.

Playing #FireEmblem for the first time, and I am really enjoying it, but the default player name is Mark? Really? Mark?

I was surprised to see how much of the Fire Emblem DNA still exists from this game. Excited to play thing one through I think.

Falling down the #retrogaming rabbit hole. Updated my #MiSTer with the PSX core, ordered a SNAC adapter, and started playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Transported back to my youth, but this time it's in a tatami room.

After listening to @kylestarr on Into The Aether, to prepare for fatherhood I picked up this neat handheld. Whipping this thing out of my pocket to play Super Mario World in 15 minute bursts is seriously amazing.

After a stint of going full digital - tasks, journaling, meeting notes - I really decided that I just miss the tactile feeling of writing things down, and the immense focus I can achieve when away from a screen.

Adopting a hybrid approach based on this article, and already I feel like it suits my sensibilities a little more.

Anyone else out there a paper/digital hybrid?

Started a Blood Bowl 2 league with some online friends and it has been a blast! We play a match every 2 weeks, and so far it has been just filled with good times and learnings.

Like tonight. I learned that yes, you can have players killed. It was quite a shock.

If anyone wants to join a fun casual league next time with a group of Aussies / foreigners living in Japan, hit me up
