    That was fast. Somehow we’ve already reached the end of 2013, and it’s almost come as a surprise. I’m tired as all hell, so that’s a sure sign that something is coming to an end, but still, feels like the months flew by. Wasn’t it just yesterday I was complaining about the summer heat? And…

    It’s taken me a long time to really get into this show, but man, it certainly has me now. I watched the first season after it first aired, and although by the end of it I was enjoying the overarching storyline, I stopped watching when season 2 started as it was back to monster-of-the-week episodes.…

    I have a love-hate relationship with The Walking Dead TV series. At times I like it, at times I think it’s boring as shit. But I keep coming back – probably due to my continued love of the comics and the Telltale game – and in the end I’m glad I do. This past weekend…

    I wasn’t particularly interested in checking out this show when it first started, thinking it was just cheesy, but a friend of mine kept saying how good it was, and so I finally decided to dig into the first season, and I must say, I’m having a lot of fun watching it so far. I’m…

    I’d of course been wanting to play this along with everyone else, but hey, better late than never (and thank you Play-Asia for the great sales price). I’m about 5 hours in and it’s definitely as good as everyone has been saying. The outdoor environments are fantastic – despite the death and decay, the lush…

    Over the weekend I recorded two new episodes of my music podcast, Codex — that would be episode 68 and episode 69 — as I try to get a few more episodes in before the end of the year. Also, if you’re looking for some good Christmas music, I won’t be doing a new Christmas…

    I downloaded the Vita version of this recently as it was free for PS+ members (and I think it still is). I love the Oddworld games, but had never played this one because the Xbox is the only modern console I never owned. It’s certainly quite different from the platform puzzling you usually get in…

    I started playing this earlier in the week – I recently grabbed it at the crazy sales price of $10 on the PSN Store – and boy am I loving it. I do still enjoy getting into a good JRPG every once in a while, and this feels like it’s going to scratch that itch…

    I never thought I’d get into this damn beta, but lo and behold, early last week I received my beta key, and so was able to give it a try. I was really excited to play this, and have to say that they’ve done a really fantastic job of creating a card game for the…

    I played this for the first time this morning – it’s currently free if you’re a PlayStation Plus member – and man, was I ever having trouble driving, probably due to the fact that all my racing of late has been in Need for Speed Rivals, which is very arcade-y in the way it plays.…
