Hello peeps! Long time no see. I took a long and much-needed two week holiday back to the far-away and exotic land of Belgium where I played a lot of board and outdoor games and the barbecues, oh god, so many barbecues.
It also meant two weeks of almost no internet access and gaming. I played some Realms Royale on a…

Back when they reviewed Gorogoa here, I was very intrigued. I think it’s out on PS4 as well now so I really need to remember to buy and play this.

Not too much gaming going on, what with the World Cup and all. My native country will play against my host country (Belgium vs Japan) which is amazing and I can’t wait. It’ll be hell the next day as the game starts at 3AM.

“...The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey, with an extra ‘e’. This difference in the spelling comes from the translations of the word from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms. Whiskey with the extra ‘e’ is also used when referring to American whiskies. This ‘e’ was taken to the United States by the…

Is there a lot o physical differences in the spaces of every map in Rocket League? I thought, apart from a few like the old Neo Tokyo, they were all the same in terms of surface and curvature. It’d be interesting to read more about that.

I’ve picked up Horizon: Zero Dawn again after a several month break. At the time, I had just arrived in Meridian, the weakest part of the game. Exploring the wilds and battling fierce beasts is the main attraction in this game. In theory, a break from that could be nice but I have the small villages and camps for that…

Well done on those articles. They’re definitely the best-structured rundowns I’ve seen to come out of E3 so far. I can’t join the hype for the actual content, not having any Nintendo systems right now.
I did enjoy following similar list-ups on games I’m looking forward to like Death Stranding (that weird hiking…

In trying to format my text, Kinja crashed. That’ll teach me to not type it out in gmail first. So here we go again...

I’m mostly curious about Cyberpunk 2077 myself. They have to come out with something right? At the very least a showy movie, at best a gameplay reel.
Same for Death Stranding really. How will this game play? Still can’t believe Mads Mikkelsen is in it. And Norman Reedus. This is gonna be ... interesting at the very…

So this week has been equally divided by Fortnite and Overwatch. From playing exclusively single player games, I’ve grown to like (and in the case of Fortnite reeeealllly get into) multi-player games over the past few years. Battlefield 1 was great until I grew tired of it after a month. Overwatch definitely has the…

Nice write-up on Resident Evil HD. I played it for 4 or 5 hours and was too creeped out to continue. After 10 minutes, playing the game wasn’t too bad but it was the accumulated dread going into the next time I started the game up that ultimately froze me. I didn’t want to play anymore cause of how thoroughly…

My work/bosses are pretty nice when it comes to suddenly taking a day off. I take a mental health day once a month, usually after an event so more of a physical/mental health day to recuperate. Thanks for the kind words. I hope your translation work goes well. (doing a lot of translation in my work as well but nothing…

It’s been a while, peeps, how is everyone doing? Work has been very busy and me deciding to block distracting sites at work has dramatically decreased my posting. (mix of wanting to work better, and break free from the funk I’m in)
But I managed to do some good work and circumvented the self-imposed block.

Wheels of Aurelia:
Fun isn’t exactly the way to describe this slight game but it is rich in atmosphere. I can only describe it as an on-rails walking simulator where the walking is replaced by a car.
You follow a young woman on a road trip with her friend along the Italian coastline (the ancient Aurelian road from the…

I would love to play those games again. Only played the first one at the time. Stealth-platformer is an unexpected but winning concept.

So what do y’all think of the announcement that Spyro is being remade?

That friend I’ve played VR twice at now, texted me out of the blue this weekend saying “You have to try Wipeout, it’s amazing...”.
Very much looking forward to that now that you’ve praised it as well!

Yep, did those two.
Too bad to hear they’re all the same but at least the rewards are incentive enough to tackle them.

Yeah, it sure is pretty to look at and the feeling of looking behind the curtain in those cauldrons is really cool (although the second one was identical to the first one). I’m interested in this world and its mysteries so I think you’re right, they just prioritized one thing over the other.

I tried the same thing with a friend, playing Divinity: Original Sin in two-hour blocs once every two weeks. Not caring about the plot and forgetting the mechanics/combat rules made it hard to get into every time. So we never finished it, might take a crack at it when we have a whole day for it but until then, it…
