I've compiled 5 exceptional Dating Sims (with some free...

January 13th, 2021 CLICK HERE FOR LOOT GAMING I know we all thought we'd be ringing in the new year with a lot of exciting plans and celebration, but truthfully speaking, we are still very much in the state of a worldwide pandemic.

January 6th, 2021 CLICK HERE TO GET THIS MONTH'S LOOT GAMING It's here!!! My November Loot Gaming crate showed up at my doorstep a few weeks ago, but I decided to wait to unbox it so I don't ruin the fun for anyone who hasn't opened theirs yet.

December 23rd, 2020 Some of my favorite online friendship moments were created in the video game lobby. Why, you ask? The lobby is a place where inside jokes are born. It's a place where we say hello and catch up on life and the things we missed while we were away. It's a place where we say our goodbyes until we meet again. With a lot of my online...

December 9th, 2020 CLICK HERE FOR FALLOUT CRATE I think we can all agree that Fallout has some really stylish music choices. The first time I played Fallout 3 and heard "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" by The Ink Spots in the opening sequence, I'm not gonna lie... I shed a few tears. There's just something about that 40's radio sound that tugs on...

December 2nd, 2020 Alright, I’m just going to say it-- Among Us is *okay.* I mean, I love a good multiplayer game of hidden roles, bluffing, and deduction. On surface value, I think Among Us has the key components for success. BUT I think it lacks a meaningful discussion period, aka the most important element that makes most other bluffing games so...
