New To Me – Nov. 2022

On November 30, 2022

Another month over, and so many games played this month! Between a 24-hour gaming event, and playing through a large slew of things we won in an auction, the gaming possibilities seemed endless! I’m also glad to report that quite a lot of them were decent games, or better! I’m looking forward to December as well because PAXU is on the horizon, so hopefully even more great games get played soon!

❤️ – Loved It/Always Love It/Favorite (I rate it a 9 – 10)
😄 – Liked It/Will Likely Play Again (I rate it a 7 – 8)
🤷🏻‍♀️ – Okay/Take It or Leave It/Could Play Again (I rate it a 4 – 6)
👎🏻 – Didn’t Like/Would Not Play Again (I rate it a 1 – 3)

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 12 ruby red dice … and maybe a bunch of other stuff, but this is what matters most! Can you use these dice to mark off all the gifts on your holiday shopping list? We’d better find out!

In the beautiful rainforest, trees grow tall, plants bloom, and wildlife thrives among them all. While the ecosystem is full of a variety of life, it is always important to balance that life so that the ecosystem can continue to thrive. Beware of threats to your rainforest, and keep building it bigger, better, and more beautiful!

PAXU 2022 Preview

Hey Gamers! As always, I am so excited to be going to PAX Unplugged again this year. I’m even more excited because this is the first year I’m attending with an official media badge! 🎉 I’m not totally sure how much that will change my experience, but I’m looking forward to at least being able to get into the hall early to talk to publishers or take some photos/videos of the empty expo hall.

As a lead-up to the event, I wanted to highlight a few games I am excited to check out, a few booths I’m excited to visit, and more. If you want to look at the full lists I’m referencing, you can check out the First Look Preview List and the Expo Hall List! Personally, I’m not a big panel or event person, I mostly roam the expo hall and go to free-play, so if you want to know more about events, guests, etc, you might want to check out the Schedule, or just visit PAXU’s Website directly to find what you’re looking for. Let’s get started!
