Burly Men at Sea (PS4)
Burly Men at Sea is a pleasant little game reminiscent of fanciful childhood stories. Described by many as a visual novel, this title developed by Brain&Brain follows the adventures of three burly and bearded Scandinavian men as they set sail looking for adventure. Their escapades bring them into contact with creatures from folklore along with several odd characters that fit seamlessly into the world the game creates. … Continue reading Burly Men at Sea (PS4)

I was excited about trying out the game for several reasons, including it being a JRPG, and was not disappointed during my first few weeks of play.

So now that one of the most ambitious games of more recent years is on the verge of its release, I can’t help but be filled with anticipation.
My Console Conversion (not really, but…)
For half of February and most of March, I spent a lot of my time, when at home, monitoring one of my pets who developed a serious condition. Being holed up in the living room with my buddy lead to a fair bit of gaming on my PlayStation 4. That, in turn, lead me to think about my gaming history and my move from primarily gaming on a PC to the PS4.

I lived here until I was eleven but I wasn’t allowed inside half the rooms.
