Hot billboard
It can get warm in the Netherlands. Not often, but we have our moments.
Sundered (PS4)
Truth to be told, I didn't expect Sundered to be any good. Sure, it looked the part in the trailer, but that initial vid also seemed to put an ungodly emphasis …
Destiny 2 (PS4)
Hitting level 20 does nothing of course. If anything Destiny 2 starts at level 20. An imposed maximum level that marks the end of easy steady progression and …
Lost Sphear looks to fix combat
I am Setsuna was a love-letter to Chrono Trigger, yet it ever so slightly missed the mark with its combat system. All combat abilities basically took place …
Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)
After completing Metroid Prime I summarised the game as, "a good Metroid in 3D, but not a Super Metroid in 3D." Of course, a Super Metroid in 3D would never …
The Mummy Demastered is... a metroidvania?
Metroidvania is anything but a dead genre, but this "resurrection" might be a bit on the nose. The Mummy Demastered combines the ancient evil entities of …
Roleplaying
My new priest character for Dungeons & Dragons has some flaws...
WipEout Omega Collection gains VR mode
I am honestly not sure if this is the greatest or worst thing ever. Sony has just announced a VR mode for WipEout Omega Collection. Which makes sense as about …
Getting reacquainted with Dungeons & Dragons
I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons for around 20 years now, primarily with a small group of friends that were into the entire role-playing thing to start …
Vaartsche Rijn
No light rail. Yet. Kind of love the contrasts in this one.
The Legend of Zen
The one thing that I noticed after about an hour of play was "well, the weapon degradation isn't that bad." Not that it was the main focus point, but I do …
Tiny battle
One of the last battles of Sunday's Dungeons & Dragons session. Surprisingly fiery as well.
Thor Ragnarok finally learns to roleplay
I think the best way to describe Thor Ragnarok is by treating it as the third campaign by a relatively new group of Dungeons & Dragons players. Twice now, …
Demonic ramen
Japanese commercials are intense, just like their instant ramen.
Zelfs verliezen is leuk in Dungeons & Dragons
De nacht is echter nog maar amper begonnen en we worden wakkergeschud door een verrassingsaanval. We proberen te ontsnappen, maar inmiddels hebben we in één …
Dungeon Master mug
My lovely players gifted me this huge Dungeon Master mug as a sign of appreciation. Which is 👌 and totally unexpected! Now to fill it up with something strong.
Healing potions
I'm definitely not the first one to make these, but ready-to-roll healing potions are very handy to have around during Dungeons & Dragons.
The Yetees
Got my order from The Yetee. Totally in love with that Hollow Knight shirt, while the Dr. Mario one brings back memories of some good tunes.
Xanathar's gift
I've got awesome colleagues that give me awesome new presents to slaughter awesome players. 😉
Astro Bot Rescue Mission (PSVR)
It's hard to imagine now, but the initial Tomb Raider was one of the first 3D games to teach people how to move in a world made out of polygons. Next to the …
SimCity on the NES
Now here's a fun gaming article: the Video Game History Foundation has a story on the lost version of SimCity for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Yup, the …
My best games of 2018
For me, in general 2018 was the year of metroidvania. There was an abundance of examples of the genre being released and it's hard to point out another year in …
Vault of the Dracolich
Massive cross-over event with two Dungeons & Dragons parties consisting of eight players in total, both of which have me as their Dungeon Master. Converted …
