This week the Rocketeer takes us on the long journey through the Mosphoran Highwaste, across the Salikawood, over the Phon Coast, to the Tchita Uplands, into the Sochen Cave Palace, and to many other places I can’t be bothered to look up on the wiki now that they’ve all blurred together in my mind. While […]
We, the heroes, have a loooooong walk ahead of us. Yes, while great Yensan Sandsea before the Tomb of Raithwall consisted of the Ogir-Yensa and Nam-Yensa, the road to Archades’ capital will see us depart from Nalbina Fortress through the Mosphoran Highwaste, the Salikawood, the Phon Coast, the Tchita Uplands,[1] and the Sochen Cave Palace,[2] […]
I know not everyone is here for personal-life stuff. And that’s cool! Come back tomorrow and we can dunk on some videogames. This is a bit of a downer, so I don’t blame you if you want to scroll elsewhere in your feed in your search for distraction. I kinda need to write this, but […]

It’s time for the ice level and goddammit an ice level is what we’re gonna get. Bur-Omisace, known the world over as a holy place and an enclave of peace, has attracted a great […]
And so we come to the end of Resident Evil 5. Chris posted his final thoughts on the game on his site. He puts Resident Evil 5 in historical context and talks about the trajectory of the Resident Evil franchise. This is obviously his wheelhouse more than mine, so give his post a look if […]
It’s time for our twice-yearly ritual of clock-fiddling. Which means I once again have to go around the house and remember how each clock works.
