I recently played through Dredge, a fishing adventure game with some Lovecraftian mystery sprinkled in. Having recently read some of Lovecraft’s work, I thought it would be best to tell my adventure in Dredge in a similar style. Here is the story of my time with Dredge.

Silent Hill 2 Review – The Art of Subtlety
HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!! I must admit, I try my best to keep up with the newest releases. I know that more people will stop and listen to the ramblings of a madman atop a soapbox when he’s talking about the newest Resident Evil game. Alas, I frequently get the itch to go back and… Continue reading Silent Hill 2 Review – The Art of Subtlety
The End is Nigh Because of AI – A Story About Artificial Intelligence and Screenwriting
I woke to a sharp pain pounding in the back of my head. I could feel the zip ties digging into the skin around my ankles and wrists. I could hear what appeared to be the hum of an engine. At the same moment, I was lightly tossed in the air and landed uncomfortably on… Continue reading The End is Nigh Because of AI – A Story About Artificial Intelligence and Screenwriting
Doomsayer Goes to Pax East 2023
PRAISE!!! PRAISE AND BE MERRY!!! The conventions have returned to us. No longer will we huddle around computers hoping the next live stream event gives a morsel of new games. No, now we can go to conventions, put our own hands on the controllers and play new titles. I, for one, ventured to the grand… Continue reading Doomsayer Goes to Pax East 2023

Dead Space 2 Review – Curse of the Sequel
HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!! My followers, I have fallen ill with the fever. It claims a gamer at one point in their life, usually after completing a game. Their senses begin to dull.

Dead Space (2023) Review – Back from the Dead
REJOICE! REJOICE, MY LOYAL FOLLOWERS! I was worried the Dead Space remake would not satisfy my hunger for intense sci-fi horror. I would be left heartbroken wondering if I was living in ignorance when I played Dead Space back in 2009. Did I not know what a good game was in my youth? NAY, says… Continue reading Dead Space (2023) Review – Back from the Dead
God of War Ragnarok Review – Gluttonous
Gluttony. Overindulgence. Intemperance. These are words I would use to describe God of War Ragnarok. Take heed, my loyal followers, and I promise there is no reason to break out the torches and pitchforks…yet. Notice I didn’t use the words dreadful, foul, or just plain bad to describe the latest tales of Kratos and Atreus. … Continue reading God of War Ragnarok Review – Gluttonous
Scorn Review – Torn
I can’t think of anything more awkward than being a reviewer unsure about a game. What use do you serve by preaching on a metaphorical fence? Nothing, you might as well be a crazed lunatic screaming into the void about how the video game industry is marching to its own demise. What title has sent… Continue reading Scorn Review – Torn
My Top Six of 2022
I am in a rebellious mood. I toiled away at which games deserved my awards this year. I found the task of narrowing it down to five to be nearly impossible. Then it came to me. This is my list. Why am I shackling myself to an arbitrary number? Adhering to conventional rules hasn’t made… Continue reading My Top Six of 2022
