Steam Sales > Your Willpower

It is the truth.  Steam sales run in and for the first time in my life, I totally get that flawed logic behind statements like, “it’s ok to buy it cause I am actually saving thirty bucks!” Well forty dollars later I have picked up a slew of indie titles that I am excited to …

Puzzles

I love brainteasers, word games, critical thinking behemoths and puzzles of all kind.  Not only do they help keep my brain sharp and young, but they are also some of the most rewarding challenges in games, video and traditional alike.
