Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Are the Comfort Games I’ll Always Go Back To
Being truthful, the last couple months have been rough for me in my personal life. This has included the passing of my black labrador Pippa, who’s been a best friend for me since 2008. When I’m in this tumultuous headspace, I sometimes feel as if I don’t know what to do with myself; even the simple act of watching a film or cleaning my room…
Gaming Photo Album: Horizon Forbidden West (Volume 1)
Hi there! I’m gradually making my way through the gorgeous Horizon Forbidden West on PS4, as I’ve mentioned several times in recent posts. As well as the game itself being huge, my playtime is being slowed because I’m a big fan of Photo Modes, and Horizon Forbidden West is full of opportunities for playing around with the in-depth Photo Mode it features. Now, I’m roughly…
“Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible” is the Feel-Good Manga I’ve Been Looking For
Whilst I mainly write about games, anime, and films on this site, I also spend a lot of time reading – whether it be novels, comics, or manga.

When I do get absorbed, I find there’s a wonderfully fulfilling momentum to reading…
The Witcher Journals #2 – Old Friends, Village Quarrels, & Hellhounds
In an effort to actually continue the smorgasbord of different article ideas that I start, it’s time to get back to my Witcher video game adventures (instead of leaving them in the creative void of my drafts folder, aha). As outlined in my first entry last year, I am gradually making my way through the Witcher video games, and documenting my thoughts along the way.…

The recent Nintendo Direct contained many highlights, and one standout for me was the upcoming RPG Sea of Stars from Sabotage Studio, developers of the critically-acclaimed The Messenger. In addition to the short showcase of gameplay footage, we received the announcement of a new demo for the game, which I promptly proceeded to download and play on my Nintendo Switch. In the Direct, my interest…
My 5 Favourite Announcements from the Nintendo Direct! (08/02/23)
This week, Nintendo did what Nintendo does best; suddenly drop the news of an imminent Nintendo Direct. It was announced on Tuesday and then shown on Wednesday, and was roughly 40 minutes long – which gave Nintendo plenty of time to showcase a smorgasbord of exciting games. Maybe they realised it was #LoveYourBacklog month and thought they’d give us even more to play… ! Either…
Holding the Line: #LoveYourBacklog Month 2023
There I was, deliberating on what to write about this week whilst I finally make my way through Horizon Forbidden West. Then suddenly, like the cavalry coming over the hill Helm’s Deep-style, came Later Levels with the return of the #LoveYourBacklog tag for 2023! Later Levels puts #LoveYourBacklog together to get the blogging community sharing the details of their gaming backlogs – be sure to…
