2016-12-28

The department of redundancy department has cleared up what I wrote about Dungeon of the Endless.

2016-12-26

What just might be the final game I play for the year, Dungeon Of The Endless is a mix of tower defence and dungeon crawling that will appeal to small audience.

2016-12-17

I like cats. Yet in Fort Meow I had to stop them from giving me a lap cuddle.

2016-12-10

Today I played a game about a dragon called Dragon: A Game About a Dragon.

2016-12-07

Aaaaand done. Hopefully thumbnails and logos will load a little faster now for people. No need to have the 2800x versions with no compression. This should also support proper extra wide wide-screen layouts, and allow the user to zoom in as required.

2016-12-06

Phase 1 of the visual refresh is finished. Next is to tidy up some image sizes.

2016-12-04

Time to slide around in a space suit with some Russian guy called Yury.

2016-11-20

I played a game about flies called Fly O'Clock. It is Aussie Summer weather now, so if I really wanted I could just walk outside the laundry door.

2016-11-12

Just so that I have content up. Here's a game about a dog called Fidel.

2016-11-01

Work stress and spooks - thoughts on random stuff I purchased and played soon.

2016-10-21

Work was really bad, and I've ended up leaving each day tired and annoyed. Zotrix, was pretty much the same.

2016-10-17

I played a game with a cat that ate a lot of cookies, I think I may need to put Cat on a Diet now.

2016-10-09

No need to hunt for a set of virtual dice, today I played the digital version of Forest Of Doom.

Later at night, I also had a look at Prompt

2016-10-07

I played Reus. I'm going to start on something else rather than play another minute of it.

2016-09-18

One scary blocky bear awaits you in Cubium Dreams.

2016-09-10

Shooting pixel ships? Fighting the RNG? Today I played Steredenn

2016-08-29

Making up for a few weeks missed. I've played through One More Dungeon, another game that really does not want the player to shoot the things the game throws at you to shoot at.

2016-08-27

Updating on the weekend for the first time in a while, this arvo I ended up playing Cargo Commander. And excuse me while I go into the shed to find some more nails to use to shoot things.

2016-08-21

Back in the 80s and 90s, I played Stix. Tonight I played Fortix 2.

2016-08-07

Enter the warped dead world of Zeno Clash! A rather enjoyable first person brawler/fighter game.

2016-07-27

I keep updating on the wrong day. So let's take a look at 99 Levels to Hell.

2016-07-21

Ready to be a dinosaur! No not a baryonyx, but a T-rex. With rocket boots. In a game that hates the player for using any type of control system. Lets go and Jumpjet Rex.

2016-07-11

Late thoughts due to being rather ill, trying to socialise, and crying over my old Nokia having the screen broken. So I a look back at Bullet Heaven 2 that I played some months ago.

2016-06-27

I had a somewhat negative time with StuntMANIA Reloaded, but eventually learnt to like it.

2016-06-19

I played sportsball and I enjoyed it: The game? Stikbold!.

2016-06-14

Yesterday was a public holiday. Here's some thoughts on Hero Of The Kingdom.

2016-06-06

Time to dive into the deep blue sea with Depth Hunter 2: Deep Dive.

2016-05-29

To make up for some shorter views yesterday, today is Avalanche 2 day.

2016-05-28

I played Nuclear Throne and didn't have any fun.

2016-05-23

A late update, but here's some thoughts on Nova 111.

2016-05-16

And done! Tested okay on Firefox, Chrome, and IE11.
I'll start getting side content out (hopefully) soon, and try for double gaming thoughts next weekend.

2016-05-13

No thoughts up this weekend on the queue. A slight redesign was implemented, will help when I start targeting mobile later on with @media queries. And it looks a little nicer too.

2016-05-08

Time to blow things apart! I was gifted Besiege and spent some time playing this afternoon.

2016-04-30

A delay in writing it up as I was spending too long playing it instead. Tonight's overview is Runestone Keeper.

2016-04-23

Today I looked at RC Mini Racers. Unfortunately there was not a lot to do after a short time playing.

I've also finally upgraded to Win7 on my main gaming PC.

2016-04-17

Tower of Guns... I was not really impressed with this one, as much as I wanted to like it.

2016-04-09

A game where the dev's and game's website no longer exists? Xotic ended up being rather fun.

2016-04-03

A racer that while fun to play, misses a few marks of being brilliant. Time to look at Super Toy Cars

2016-03-25

I did a play through of Iron Grip: Warlord today. Also! BlazeRush

2016-03-24

Gave the site a small facelift that I've been wanting to do for a while.

With holidays and a busy work schedule, gaming updates will slow down a bit for a while. I'll still push out updates, just at a lower frequency for a while.

2016-03-23

Possibly no updates this week and the next. Easter break, and lots of work as the school term ends with all the site and student support I have to help provide. There's a number of smaller titles on the queue, so I will see what I can do.

Will try to at least push out the planned Title and Menu updates to begin optimising for anyone on a mobile device instead of the glorious Desktop PC environment.

2016-03-19

And now a game missing a letter: Saviors, and a nice little puzzle platformer: 140

2016-03-14

It's a public holiday, so how about some Megabyte Punch?

We should soon have other people writing here. Expect something other than my late night rambles that are slowly rewritten into something more coherent.

2016-03-13

It's a long weekend, time to play Fancy Skulls.

2016-03-03

Tonight I take a look at Retro/Grade.

2016-02-28

F86M for The Deletion is now up.

2016-02-27

Time for a weekend. Let's have a look at The Collider, and Sound Shift

2016-02-26

I'm still off sick from work, and decided to play The Tiny Bang Story, Shmadow, and the fantastic qbqbqb.

2016-02-24

I'm off sick from work, and decided to grab and play OutDrive via Steam.

2016-02-21

Today I played and completed TransPlan, and spent some time with Goo Cubelets. F86M are up for both.

2016-02-18

I've created thumbnails for all the larger images now, so pages will not load several megs of data per image without you clicking on one. Also in the progress of writing up the older F86M titles. Unfortunately a lot of these didn't have many tweets to them, but I will link in what I can. Sublevel Zero was uploaded today.
Chronologically it is at the bottom of the list, even though I just wrote it up hooray!

Thankyou all again for reading. -Ois

2016-02-15

I realise some of the thumbnails on the game pages are the full size images. I'm currently rescaling them to have actual thumbnails like the "official screenshots" segments have. This may take me a few days, but loading times will greatly increase once it is done.
