Winter break for me this year is really a game heavy time, including playing through some more fairly short titles from Steam. Hilariously, rather than playing through the backlog, at this point I’m adding new one’s that are getting played quickly…does that level it out? Let’s say it does 😉 […]
The Assassin’s Creed series has been one I’ve been mildly interested in for years. A few years ago my partner got himself a PS3 and it happened to be one of the first games he played. He loved it so much he tore through the rest of the series fairly […]
PRICE is a short, free-to-play indie puzzle game available on Steam. I picked it up while looking through visual novels, though it isn’t one itself. The premise is fairly basic: “The hero Ivry wakes up from a nightmare and finds himself in a weird room. To escape from fear and […]
Since it’s the holiday break and Steam is doing their annual winter sale, I decided I needed to burn through some of my PC backlog before I was allowed to buy anymore PC games. So first I decided to hit the visual novel Dies Irae ~Amantes Amentes~. I picked it up […]

Over the last two weeks I’ve been working on figuring out Zend Framework 3 and how to migrate an app from 2 to 3. Zend does have a migration guide as part of their ZF3 docs, but I found it woefully inadequate for the reality of the upgrade. I also […]
Ever since they first announced Spyro Reignited Trilogy, I have eagerly anticipated it’s release. Every trailer made me drool over its loving and painstaking recreation and the bonus of significantly improved graphics. Suffice to say, it is a game I had on preorder for at least a month so I […]
Over the last month or so, I’ve had the “joys” of playing two disappointing games back to back. The first was Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga 2 for PS2. I quite enjoyed playing the first game of this duology, so I presumed I would enjoy the second one as […]
Eighteen years ago, I wanted a dog. I really wanted a dog to start my new life in Texas. But I was considering a cat first, because they were “cheaper” to care for and I had grown up with my mom having both at her house. Still, I really wanted […]
