I played: Secret Little Haven

Playing with my Depression: Skyrim
I ain’t been writing much the past two weeks. The words escape me. All that comes so easy to me seems lost the the void that seems to be occupying half of my head. I don’t mind my moods, I just dislike what they do to me. I’ve been playing a lot of Skyrim. Something […]

Can we talk about Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ weird racist and sexist trailer?
So, the clumsily titled Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands is out. Surprising, as I had heard just about nothing about it. I guess it was doomed once they figured out it would be going head to head against Zelda and the Switch. Nothing dominates the conversation like first party Nintendo software, even more so when […]
