Miracle Man on the Court - Follow Up Post

Greetings gamers, readers, and all you nameless people who have stumbled upon my blog. I'm back again, except this time, it's a follow up to another post. I'd just edit the old one, but I don't really want to. Of course, if I just made a post as something of an add-in, there probably wouldn't be much. So hope you don't mind, but I'll kind of combine contest work with my personal take on a game. This particular entry isn't complete yet, but it will be, hopefully, soon enough.

3 Months Down - 9 More to Go

Well, we're a third of the way there. My time goes by fast. It's been kind of a slow month too, at least it seems that way to me. In fact, that was going to be the original title of this post, "At Least It Seems that Way to Me." Okay, I'm kidding on that part. But it did seem like a bit of a slow month in this contest. Still, let's see how we did.

The Best in Casual Gaming

It seems that some genres get more attention than others. It seems to me that genres like action, shooter, or even RPG get a lot of attention, at least on the console front. And you know, I'm fine with that. I enjoy a good action-packed romp or a deep story through some fantasy world as most RPGs tend to lean. But sometimes, I feel like something a little more...casual.

Enter the match-3 game and all the derivatives.

One SeriousGamer on the Ice

Well, it's been a while since I had something to say about a game I played. Usually, I post about games I've beaten for the contest and/or games I just found memorable. But we all go through moments where nothing comes. It's a condition that's been dubbed writer's block. Of course, I prefer writer's blah. But now, I take my first steps to recovery.

Short Month, Short Recap

Well, it's the end of yet another month. I'd say it's time for some serious thought -  a little time of reflection, of consideration...okay time's up. I don't know about you, but all I've been considering is just how cold the month of February has been. The other thing I've been considering is whether it's pronounced Feb-ru-ary or Feb-u-ary. Personally, I prefer Feb-u-ary. But anyway, even though the month has been cold, this contest has been anything but.

A Speedy Run Through

We all enjoy the thrill of victory in our games, at least I hope we do. I know I've enjoyed the thrill of completing a game, especially when that game is long and drawn-out and particularly tough. But there's a particular kind of thrill when completing one of those long, drawn out games in what you might consider record time.

First Recap of the New Year (and Contest)

Well, this is a tad embarrassing. Seems I've neglected to update this month. Even more embarrassing is the fact that I thought I published my introductory post for January. I just have one thing to say to that...

Oops

Now that that's settled, time to catch up.

New Year, New Contest, New Pages

Happy new year, readers, gamers, and all you other people reading this blog. Okay, so, my New Year's greeting is a bit late this year, but I can always resolve to stop putting things off and be more prompt about these posts...next year.

Crossing the Finish Line - Final Contest Recap

And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...Okay, maybe that's a tad dramatic, but we are seeing a few curtains fall. We've seen 2014 close after all. And with the end of the year, we also see the end of the first ever games beaten challenge on Guide2Games.

Halfway Through December - Special Moments in Gaming

So, we come to the very last recap post of this contest. I remember when we first started, I thought it'd never get here, and yet here we are. So, shall we do the usual where I go over the total scores and games added for December...

I think not.

Ending Recap for November

Well, we're really coming down to it now. Hard to believe this is the end of November, and the contest is heading into the home stretch. Of course, it's always hard to believe when it's almost the end of the year. Why does time have to go so fast? Well, anyway, let's see how things stand now.

My Crushing Defeats (Or Games that Got the Better of Me)

Hello again, readers, gamers, and all you other people. I thought since I was pretty inactive during half of November, I'd make up for a little lost time. So, here's another post, and once again, it's about games and the contest, but this time, it's not about my most recent win or the experience of playing. This time, I'm here to tell you now what I didn't win, yeah, yeah.

Halfway Through November

My, my where does time go? I wish I knew, especially when it came to this little contest. Of course, knowing where all my time goes in real life might help to. I'd sure like to drag some of that time back a ways. But what can you do?

Anyway, that's enough musing, unless I happen to play a game that revolves around time travel...let's see, Chrono Trigger, Prince of Persia, the 2nd Mario & Luigi game, wait didn't I do that one already? Now, let's get down to business. Or would this contest be more pleasure?

Stepping Back into the Ring

I could make all kinds of cracks about the title of this post. After all, I've been a bit out of the gaming scene for a while, so you could say I've been out of the ring. Or you could say I haven't posted much lately, so I've been out of the ring on this blog too. Yeah, I could attach all kinds of meanings to this, but there's really only one I intend on - a fighting ring.

Ending Recap for October

Well, we come to the end of October. That means come midnight tonight, only 60 days remain in the contest. Coming right down to the wire, isn't it? Well, what else could you say about it? So, how did we do this month, you might ask. Well, read on.

A Real Jam Goin' Down

Looks like October is shaping up to be a busy month for me. Well, I can't complain too much. Of course, I hope all you readers aren't complaining either. There's been some new sorts of posts this month, and some more of the old too. We're going back with the old for this one - covering yet another game I beat for the contest; number 78 if you're counting. I figured it was appropriate since something happens tomorrow, but I really can't put my finger on it...

Halfway Through October

Okay, so maybe it's not exactly halfway, but how can you split a month with 31 days right down the middle? Only 76 days left in the contest, or 75 if you happen to live a few timezones out, so let's see how things stand so far through October.

The Knight Got a Bit Darker

Hello again, readers, gamers, and all those who stumble upon my blog. Been a while since the last time I had anything to say about games, although I'd have plenty of material. I've got 80 games beaten so far, and I have to say, that's pretty good. So, I could tell you about any one of them, if I haven't done it already. I figured, I'd start off with the game that opened my wins for October, and what a game it was.

Interview with boyward

Greeting all you gamers, readers, or anyone who just stumbled onto my blog by accident. So, we find ourselves in October, and just 87 days left until we have our winner. Is the excitement getting to you? Well, it is me. I've already beaten one game so far this month, and I might just talk about it. But that's another topic altogether. For the first post of the month, I've got an interview for you all.

Ending Recap for September

So, it's the end of the month. I know there's not a lot of them left. We'll be finding out who our winner is in about 3 months, give or take a day. Still, I figured I'd take advantage of what few times I can post this, my ending recap. So, here's what we saw in September.
