After last weeks post discussing my attempts at taking on a new Job in Final Fantasy XIV I feel now is the perfect time to discuss the most important thing for the game: its community. It’s been a hard thing to ignore recently as there have been some major changes. First, a renowned World of […]

XiVariety is the Spice of Life
I lose my mojo for a few months, I was barely playing anything, barely reading anything, things at home have been rather challenging and whilst I wouldn’t say they’ve let up or are likely to let up, I know I need to find room for the things that bring me joy, two of those things […]
Addressing moral dilema’s as Gamer.
I don’t usually use the term “Gamer” to describe myself, it’s something I dropped long before the GamerGate stuff tarnished using such a term, but for reasons of ease, I’ll use it for this article. We currently live in an era where we have more information available to us at the point of purchase than […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 5
The Sanctuary of the Clans looms before me, a side entrance gated off, previously blocking my entrance, can now be warped through. Immediately I pick up another Artifact, bring my total to three. Two of Dumah’s brood guard a bridge over a pond, the only way to defeat them is to throw them over the […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 4

#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 2
Leaving the gate room Raziel comes across more familiar scenery, the Lake of the Dead. Even though much of Nozgoth has changed in the time Raziel lay at the bottom of the lake, this landmark allows him to get his bearings. There are two directions I can, in theory, access, though I take the route […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
I’ve had a few weeks break from #ThrowbackThursday since completing my Final Fantasy IX playthrough and thus it’s time to get back up and running again. I decided to stick with the same era but go with a completely different genre and fancied tackling the Legacy of Kain series, now why have I started with […]
Final Fantasy VII Remake
It’s been a couple of weeks now since I finished Final Fantasy VII Remake and in that time I’ve been trying to form my opinions on it, it’s a difficult game to write about, particularly from the position I find myself in as a fan of the series though I don’t hold Final Fantasy VII […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 47
Zidane walks towards the white light which resembles the moon being reflected in a pool of water. Garland: “You have entered a new realm. There are no more worlds. There is no more space… Follow your memory, your original memory, and march forth…” Zidane: “Garland, what exactly is our memory!?” G: “…” Z: “Why can […]
