The Six Stages of the Sims
 |
| My son gave me this game and I played it for 10 years or more. I never got tired of building houses and designed a garden in the game which we eventually landscaped where we live now. |

Halloween Catch Up
 |
| Costume Quest 2 is a great little game and an improvement of the first game in every way. We did not have Halloween growing up in South Africa. Thanks Double Fine, I can be a kid again and wear Halloween costumes after all! |

A Game of Epic Proportions
 |
| Mad Max is keeping me very busy. I've got the driving down now! Anyhow, a respectful thanks to the dev's. Post movie games can fail, but this game is great. Chumbucket's dialogue is worth playing the game for. |

Video Games and Camping - Games are easier!
 |
| We had an amazing time. Of course I fired up D&D Neverwinter as soon as I got back... (they were no-see-ums and not mosquitoes! Aargh) |

Game Paused - gone camping
 |
| Fear not, Vinny has neighbours visiting twice a day. I plan on going cold turkey this coming week, and not going back to D&D Neverwinter on the XBox One. I need to beat Lords of the Fallen, I'm so close to the end. I'm not sure what I'll play after that. |

Play nice.
 |
| Skyrim would have been a fab co-op game. Also, for the love of Batwoman, please don't steal the last shot/stab at an enemy when someone just worked hard to wear them down to the last sliver of health. |

Gamer girl friend, Pickles the cat.
 |
| Before she died, she brought a scruffy boyfriend to meet us, and Vinny moved in. I have a Rock Band group with all the cats I love as band members. |
 |
| Pickles and Plants vs Zombies! |

What's that pop-up box and happy plinky sound? Oh.
 |
| Ah. So that's what that was. (Achievement unlocked. I've learned a lot since then!) |

Me and Mass Effect
 |
| I truly love this game. It's still my favourite of the Trilogy, even though I made it so hard for myself. Always check the options menu! |
Mass-ive Effects
 |
| I always let the credits roll. You see little personal dedications, babies born during development, dogs and cats on "set", tributes and heartfelt acknowledgments. And sometimes, little extra nuggets of cut scenes or a secret achievement. And on rare occasions, the REAL end of the game. |

How to fight like a boss
 |
| Looking back this makes me nostalgic for how gaming first felt and thankful for the friends and magic it has brought into my life. To all gamers out there, I salute you! |

Day 1: Skyrim, Dark Souls and "Character Creation: The Game".
 |
| Edit: I'm now 200+ hours into this game. I REALLY need to move on. |
 |
| Ryan started Dark Souls with a broken sword and beat the Asylum Demon boss with it. He had a problem where his character could not move so without the update patches he made his life so much harder. Less souls, all sorts of bugs and general mayhem. DS is hard enough, Ryan. He killed the Tower Dark Knight just past the bridge in Undead Burg and died at the same time ... and forever after (in this play through anyhow) heard and "saw" it's ghost. No one plays DS like Ryan. Everyone has an epic Dark Souls story. Ryan's are the best. |
  |
| Sean C plays many many games and is also an excellent gamer. I'm not sure how many games he has finished though, because what he loves most of all is to create characters. Multiple characters. Often. So I dreamed up this game for him. |
 |
| Tim is our IT wizard at work. When I call him with a problem, the PC heals itself before he arrives. It's positively humiliating. Infuriating. Humbling. You will never meet a nicer IT guy (apart from our son). |
