  Thanks! I originally planned for these posts to just be a screenshot or two, with maybe a little discussion on what’s going on in my latest games (See a few of my first posts). But one of my pet peeves with gaming communities is how everyone just assumes you know the game being discussed. They jump into fine details, or use acronyms or in-game lingo to talk about it, which alienates those who’ve never played the game. Sometimes I’m interested in a game being discussed, but I’ve never played it, so I can’t follow the discussion!

  So I figured I’d make posts that introduce games to everyone. If you’ve played it before, it’s a nice refresher of the gameplay and gives you a space to gush about what you loved or hated about it. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a good intro to the game and its story and mechanics.

  Also, my other hidden purpose is to force myself to play more games. I have a Steam library of over 3,500 games and I’ve only played 25% of my library (according to SteamDB). So this forces me to pick something new every day and give it a shot. I’m discovering a lot of fun games that I didn’t even know I had in my library! I got a lot of my games through random bundles, so I didn’t even choose a lot of them.
