weekend recap – birthday boy makes good
I’m having a tough time getting words to come out of my brain today. I started writing this post around 4 hours ago, and between constant work interruption and my utter inability to maintain any...

weekend recap: the christmas splurge
It would figure that I’d need to make some serious additions and edits to my Games of 2012 post, because not 24 hours after that post went up, Steam had another sale. Those fuckers. I’ve gone and done...

weekend recap: saying goodbye to 2012
1. As promised, the wife and I finally finished The Walking Dead. What a hell of a thing that was. There’s a part of me that wants to nitpick a little bit, that sometimes a character will suddenly...

weekend recap: the transformation
I’ve been feeling weird this month. A little disconnected, perhaps; a little bit untethered. I haven’t been sleeping particularly well, and it’s entirely possible that my excitement about being a new...

weekend recap: the stress
I don’t have many rules when it comes to maintaining this site, but I do try to adhere to two primary goals: (1) post on a regular basis, and (2) don’t get overly personal, if it can be avoided. Rule...

weekend recap: well, that wasn’t so bad
Firstly, some necessary meta-news to report: the aforementioned apartment drama might very well be resolved, which is, as you might imagine, a HUGE weight off of my shoulders. I’m reluctant to say...

weekend recap: strangeness all around me
I’d started a post last week, but never got around to finishing it; things are still a little weird, and I’m finding very few pockets of idle time these days. A brief summary of what’s going on in...

weekend recap: hello goodbye wtf
Major developments this weekend! 1. Said goodbye to Ni No Kuni this morning, as I sent it back to Gamefly. The game is fine, I suppose, but a few things became very apparent during my last few...

weekend recap: all tombs raided
Finished Tomb Raider. Currently at around 93% completion, and I’m not sure I give a shit about finding the last few things there are to find. Lara is fully leveled up, as are her weapons (not that...

Behind The Music: review commentary
So one of the reasons why I was so quiet last week was because I was working on a review of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon for the New York Videogame Critics Circle, which can be found here. This was my...

weekend recap: thrills and pills and headcolds
Not a lot of game-time this weekend; I caught a vicious headcold while in the middle of a double-feature at the movies on Saturday, and so I spent most of Sunday and Monday horizontal, with...

SFTC 400: a bit of a downer
WordPress says this is my 400th post, although that number includes the old posts at the now-defunct blogspot URL and some drafts-in-progress. Still, though, 400 posts! Let’s celebrate this historic...

scatterbrained
I might’ve mentioned this already, but I suppose I might as well bring it up again; having a kid has completely changed my gaming habits. Granted, it’s also completely changed nearly every other aspect...

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
I said last week that it’s been at least 2 months since I turned on my 360. As it happens, I had a brief window this past Sunday afternoon, and so I decided to download and try the demo for Brothers:...

weekend recap: bits and bobs and odds and sods
So I had big, grand plans for blogging here last week, and, clearly, those plans all went to shit. I’d written a rather gigantic review of Beyond: Two Souls for the NYVCC (which probably won’t be going...

weekend recap: fun in San Andreas, not so much in Blackgate
There was good and bad over the weekend as far as games are concerned, so let’s start with the good. THE GOOD: 1. This is something I never thought I’d say, but here goes: GTA V Online is starting to...

the first few hours: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
As I said last week, I am now in the process of wrangling together my retrospective(s) of this console generation. This is no easy task; I played a lot of games since 2005, and while I’m doing my best...

weekend recap: patience and more patience
It’s hard for me to admit this, but I feel I must be honest; I’m starting to get a little squirmy for the new consoles, even though (a) there’s nothing on them that I need to play just yet, and (b) I...

holiday weekend recap: the game of life (and also AC4)
There was not a lot of gaming this holiday weekend; it was my first Thanksgiving with the baby, though, which made it very special. When you’re preparing to have a kid, the #1 thing everybody warns you...

weekend recap: a year older
I turned 38 over the weekend. There is a time for philosophizing and reflecting, for getting melancholy over what I might’ve done better and for getting hopeful for what I’ve yet to do; this is not...
