When a friend of mine shared the cinematic trailer for Frogwares’ The Sinking City on Facebook sometime in the summer or fall of 2018, I was instantly hooked. The game had a nice, eerie sheen to it, one that Lovecraft flirted with often but attained only sometimes (in my experience; I’ve only read about half of hisContinue reading “The Sinking City Treads Water in a Choppy Sea”

Red Dead Redemptions
At the start of this whole quarantine business, my wife was eagerly anticipating the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I, too, eagerly waited for Doom Eternal.
