<em>Until Dawn.</em>

November 24, 2015

As a fan of the horror genre, Until Dawn caught my eye months before it was actually released. One thing most horror games have in common though is the fact that they aren't actually scary - I speak from a PC gamer perspective, where you can find plenty of shooters and survival horrors that are …

Um Conto de Marinheiros.

November 12, 2015

No que parecia o começo do tempo de todos os tempos, dois barquinhos se conhecem na saída do cais. O dia é bonito, ensolarado, o mar é azul e sereno. Nossos dois barquinhos se preparam para suas jornadas, cada um com a tripulação ansiosa para desbravar correntes desconhecidas e passar por aventuras …

Thanksgiving.

November 10, 2015

Almost an entire month late, I started to write this one right after Thanksgiving (October 12th)! For the majority of October I was relocated to a friend's apartment.

Actually, not just this week, but October in its entirety. I've been trying to sit down and write something for several days and everything …

Post-Apoc Rant.

October 16, 2015

Fallout 4 is just around the corner and I was talking to a friend about Last of Us when I stopped to think about how the post-apocalyptic genre is way overused nowadays. Yeah, it seems we do have a thing for going into "simpler" times, when survival is the most important element. In the past ten …

Eva.

October 10, 2015

It was about time I switched to a better bike. I think I wrote a few lines here and there about how much the old one was slowing me down. It wasn't anything specific, it was the whole thing. Too heavy, too small and - this was a good part - too cheap. I fell a number of times from it, or absolutely …
