Posted on March 7, 2018 by J.L. Hilton

BIOSHOCK INFINITE: First Impressions

Posted on March 4, 2018 by J.L. Hilton

Try-It Tuesday: TERRARIA

Posted on February 7, 2018 by J.L. Hilton

Posted on February 1, 2018 by J.L. Hilton

I bought ROLLERS OF THE REALM on sale for $2.99 because the artwork reminded me a little of fantasy artist James C. Christensen, and the idea of a “pinball role-playing game” intrigued me. “Persevere through the hands of tyranny; use … Continue reading →
