Games Played: The Sims 4, Harvest Moon, Trade Nations, Happy Street, Overwatch, Alien Isolation Games Beat: None I’m this close to knocking Trade Nations off the list, having attained level 10 and finding it’s just more of the same.

Emer: Shhhhhhh

Games Played: Overwatch, Alien:Isolation, Sims 4, Trade Nations, Happy Street Games Beat: None I don’t have an excuse. Well, ok, so here’s what happened: The only thing I wanted to play ever again was Dragon Age: Inquisition. Which I have already beat, wait for it, three times. THREE. And yet, I wanted to play again.

Games Played: Wind Waker, Harvest Moon, FF:RK Games Beat: none Games Marked as complete: FF:RK This is a combo post from the past two weeks: I spent last week miserably ill and at work and feeling very very sorry for myself.

Emer: The Faces of Link.

Games Played: The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker; FFRK Games Beat: None Once I finish ME3, I messaged Ch00 last week,  I’m going to play the hell out of Wind Waker for the goddamn CHEER of it.

Games Played: Mass Effect 3, FF:RK, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning Games Beat: Mass Effect 3 I knew what was going to happen at the end of Mass Effect 3 before I even started up the ME1. I thought I was prepared. But, knowing in vague details (“even the good ending is bad!”) did not prepare me […]

Emer: There’s a good boy.

Games Played: Harvest Moon, Mass Effect 3, FF:RK Games Beat: none I’m playing ME 3 with an unblinking obsession. I’m determined to get the “good” ending (don’t worry, I already know what that means in ME 3 terms) and also I’ve cried about seventeen times already. Thane made me sad because I loved Thane, but […]

Emer: This is the no-Kaidan club.

Games Played: Mass Effect 2, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, The Sims 4, FF:RK Games Beat: None. I’ve put in some solid time on Mass Effect 2 and have adjusted to the control changes.

Emer: Listen, Bioware.

Games Played: Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, The Sims 4, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing Games Finished: Mass Effect   I loved Mass Effect with a defiant passion. I loved the Mako. I loved the Normandy.

Emer: Loving ME, and other tales.

Games Played: Year Walk, Sims 4, Mass Effect, FF:RK Games Beat: None. Ok, let me set the scene. It’s the coldest night of the year — record breaking cold.
