A bit of history (partially for those living under a rock): humble bundle is a site that started out in 2010 with the initiative to bring small (indie) but awesome games under the spotlight, bundle them together for a small (humble) price that for a large part went to charity. On top of that, it...
Intro:
A year ago, I got my hands on a GPD win. Basically a DS-sized handheld PC with built-in gaming controls. It was - and still is - an amazing product. Being able to play actual, genuine windows games on the go is awesome. That this doesn't include the newest games was a given, but while...
I was thinking of blogging about this before, but then I read an article that basically proved my point (for Dutch speakers: this one). Basically: gaming on mobile among children nearly doubles in 2 years (from 44 to 82%). My own motivation is in my nephews. Aged 5 and 8 (or 6 and 9? I can't...
Introduction
About one and a half year ago, I posted a blog post on virtual board games. I wrote it half in a hurry because I wanted it out the door before humble closed their mobile board game bundle they had back then. It had some positive replies, but nothing spectacular. And granted: it was...
Ladies and gentlemen...it's time for yet another "best of 2017" lists, namely "my favorite games I've played in 2017". With everyone and their dog posting youtube video's about "the best games of 2017", I'll keep with written text and a blog. Not only because I don't really feel like polluting...
INTRODUCTION
Here's a disadvantage we as gamers seldomly talk about: time. There are 24 hours in a day. Subtract school/work, sleep, daily chores, transportation, a girl- or boyfriend, a pet, sports, television, family, hanging around on the internet, movies, and so on and your average gaming...
Okay...when I read about the secret santa thread this morning, I started out writing why I applaud the effort, but that it wasn't my thing. But as I was writing, I noticed that my text was running pretty long. Worse: the majority could be read as if it was bashing the very idea I started out...

I got GTA V a couple months ago. Believe it or not, but I just avoided all the initial hype, the second hype when it came to PC and maybe even a third one when rockstar went online with the game. This may sound strange, as I was well aware of its good (even incredible) reviews, and I've...
So...a couple months ago, there was this thread about a game giveaway by @Eyez. A bit during that giveaway, others joined in and made threads with giveaways themselves (I played a more active role in this by keeping some games for those who also gave away games). It was a fun period, and at the...
So... Since about the end of last year, I began following the smach z. A mobile steam device is...well...interesting. However, as I noticed that they mostly talked and missed deadlines (link), the GPD win became the next thing. This was released for some months now, and got great reviews (among...
I bought grey goo a few weeks ago on sale. It was stated as "the best Real Time Strategy (RTS) not by blizzard in the last five years", and it having a greet Command & Conquer (C&C) feel. It's that latter that both drew me in and, after a few hours, back out again. It's the 'why' that I find...
(note: incoherent pondering up ahead...I might update or rewrite this blog entry as I think up more. As it is, I don't have time to really write more about it)
I watched this video from Totalbiscuit a couple days ago. It got me thinking. Not only because I encountered a couple bad games in my...
Rocksmith is one of those "is this a game?"-games. It aims to let you learn the guitar. Not in the sense of guitar hero or rockband, but an actual, genuine guitar with strings, plectrum and all that stuff.
I guess it's my nature to be drawn to this sort of "games". Yes, I liked rockband a lot...
Okay...it's the end of the year again. And as the last two years (2015 and 2014), I've come up with my own list. More than anything, I should stress that these are games I've played this year, NOT games that were released this year (I don't care about hypes or release dates...I'll rather wait...
Not too long ago, I made a thread inquiring who played board games. Since this is a gamer forum, I anticipated a reasonable number also liking, if not playing, board games.
It didn't turn out that way. Hardly anyone played one, and those who did only did it very occasional. That's rather...
Important note in advance: this is my blog with my opinions. I may reply to others, but I'm not open to change my mind, nor do I expect you to change yours. Politic views (especially at this level) are far more an emotional affaire than a rational one. That said...
Since USA maintains to be...
First a bit about my personal life: my girlfriend moved in a couple of months ago, and we got a puppy. That's all neat, but it's eating away most of my gaming time. Second: I hardly ever bought games at launch, and since about 201x (tenties?), games are more about hype than content. Besides...
LARGE UPDATE: I translated this thing in English. Scroll down a bunch for the original Dutch post...
I visit more than one forum. More than just gaming fora, actually. One of these is...an adult forum (yes, it involves sexuality). Because it's still a forum, it's perfectly okay to create blogs...
One thing I like about humble bundle is not only does it offer great games for great prices and helps charity (which is a triple win to begin with!), but it brings you in contact with games you don't usually play. A few weeks back, I tried one of those: luxuria superbia. As with most games, I...
Note in advance: I'm 35 and this is one of those "you darn kids!!!" posts. Be warned if you step on my lawn. ;)
So...I obviously wouldn't be on this site if I didn't like games or the technical aspects therearound (read: hacking). Reading about news, games, new hacks...that sort of thing still...
