Shog's December 2019 Gaming Journal

Happy New Year everybody! December is always a busy, busy month for me; not only is there all of the last minute shopping that needs to be done, and people who need to be visited. Not only am I stuck in retail Hell, but I also like to ...

 
 
 

BoB - Shog-Gifted Games

Video games have been a big part of my life for so long that I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have the option to play one. I don’t recall too many holidays or birthdays going by that didn’t involve me getti...

 
 
 

Shog's November 2019 Gaming Journal

November! It's a time for cold weather, family gatherings, rabid consumerism, and that most beautiful of things: transitioning from pumpkin spice to something different. So, while I was enjoying a sweet coffee with butter toffee creame...

 
 
 

BoB - Points of Shogpact

This month’s Band of Bloggers’ prompt is all about impact, but not the usual kind of impact that results in a splattered nazi head, or shattered alien carapice. I’ve been playing video games since I was about three or...

 
 
 

A Shoggy Squint at Death Stranding

Thanks to the amazing, and useful, Zunos app I was able to get my hypothetical hands on a digital-deluxe copy of Death Stranding! I’ve been mildly curious about this game since it was revealed, but as the months stretched on into...

 
 
 

Shog's Halloween 2019 Gaming Journal

This is Halloween, this is Halloween, try not to spend all my money on Steam. This is Halloween, The Outer Worlds isn’t on Steam, so I guess my money is mostly safe in that regard, besides, I have a massive backlog of unplayed ga...

 
 
 

BoB - Unfinished Shog-ness.

My Band of Bloggers prompt this month is all about unfinished business, and boy do I have a wide backlog of games that I’ve started or put a few hours into, but never actually finished playing. By ‘finish’ what I mean...

 
 
 

Band of Bloggers Halloween 2019 Theme

Happy Halloween Destructoid! Band of Bloggers lurches on, on this most harrowing, and frightening times of year. Around every corner lurks monsters, demons, and the ghosts of past failures. The ghost specifically interests me, and has ...

 
 
 

Shog's September 2019 Gaming Journal

I PLAYED A LOT OF GAMES THIS MONTH. That may be a little bit generous though: How this usually works is, I’ll write down the title of a game that I start playing regardless of how long I actually play it. Take Ducktales Remastere...

 
 
 

BoB - Relaxs-shog-sion

I’m having trouble relaxing so I didn’t know if I would be able to contribute to this month’s Band of Bloggers prompt. The stress of working retail combined with car troubles, and building tensions at home has made it...

 
 
 

Shog's August 2019 Gaming Journal

I realize that I probably sound like a Debby-Downer during this time of year but I can’t stress how much I hate summer. August is finally over but it’s not unheard of for September to feature excessively hot and humid days ...

 
 
 

BoB - Shogka-Shoglee

I like the idea of doing a blog about game characters! Really good characters (or even just one great character) can help get me through otherwise mediocre games and I know for a fact that other people feel the same way (insert dispara...

 
 
 

Shog's July 2019 Gaming Journal

I still hate the summer and I still hate July but that ugliness is behind us now. The blazing heat and wildfires and, humidity of July will break under the pressure and intensity of heat and wildfires and, humidity of August. Luckily f...

 
 
 
 

Shog's June 2019 Gaming Journal

June has only just ended but I already feel like summer has been going on for months. It’s been hot and humid since March and the temperature has been higher than my liking since about April. This is mostly fine though since this...

 
 
 

BoB - Shoggi-Shoggi...Olli...

This month’s band of blogger’s prompt is all about extreme sports and since I was a child of the 90’s, I consider myself something of an expert on the extreme. Well maybe not an expert: I was never really good with a ...

 
 
 

Shog's May Gaming Journal

Geeze, 2019 is flying by at record speed. I have no idea why that may be but it could be because I’ve finally done something I’ve been threatening to do since February: I’ve built myself a PC. This is the first time I...

 
 
 
 

Shog's April Gaming Journal

Well, I’m about a week late but I’m not giving up on my monthly gaming journal. The month of April was a strange one for me: I’ve been anticipating a tax refund that would enable me to build a PC which led me to focus...

 
 
 

Shog's Smarch Gaming Journal

Spring is here and with it comes all of the usual things I’ve come to expect: out-of-nowhere cold snap, tree pollen making my face melt, seasonal depression making a 31-day Month go by as quickly as a 3-day-weekend and, me finall...

 
 
 

BoB - Shog and Jolly Cooperation

This month’s BOB is actually going to be difficult for me because of this awful habit I have of playing games almost exclusively in single player. Looking at the games that I did play this month, all I really see are single playe...

 
 
 

Shog's February Gaming Journal

  February didn’t just come and go in a flash, it was a month where I started planning my first PC build. That’s the subject for another post entirely and I’ll bring up why, exactly I’m going to take a more...

 
 
 

Shog Fox 64-3D-BoB

I’m disappointed in Nintendo for not including an activity log application onto the Nintendo Switch. If you look at your profile, you can see the last twenty applications you’ve used and, if you first used that application ...

 
 
 

Shog's January Gaming Journal

The first month of 2019 has come and gone and like every other January, it came and went pretty quickly. The first few days were wild and slow but after that first week, January did what January does: it makes way for February. Surpris...

 
 
 

Band of Bloggers February 2019 Theme

It’s that special time of year where you’re reminded that it’s a special time of year! No, not that special time of year, it’s that other special time of year: February is the month of love and just like true lo...

 
 
 
 

Shog's December Gaming Journal

So maybe this was unexpected considering I recently released my overview of 2018 as a whole. Here’s the thing though: habits are difficult to break and the worst time to stop doing a thing is when there’s only one more of t...

 
 
 

'Tis the Season: Shog and Holidays

I didn’t mean to put this off until the last minute but I’m completely at a blank when it comes to my Holiday traditions when it comes to gaming. I’m going to brainstorm and see if I can come up with anything on the f...

 
 
 

A Shoggy Look at 2018

If you’ve been following me closely, you’ll likely have noticed that throughout the year, I’ve posted monthly journals (for want of a better word), detailing the games I’ve played that month and my general thoug...

 
 
 

BOB! Shog tries not to spoil Soma

  This month’s Band of Bloggers is all about naughtiness and niceness so of course a part of me wanted to write about DID Napper; an RPG-maker game about a guild of kidnappers. DID Napper is headed by a deviantart person and...

 
 

About Shoggoth2588one of us since 6:55 AM on 06.03.2013

Hello all! I'm Joe, from Maryland! I released five days before Enix launched Dragon Quest 3! I started playing games around the time I was 3, with some very early memories of myself playing Duck Hunt in my Dad's office and Golden Axe in an arcade at what might have been an airport (It was a weird memory). I'm mostly harmless so if you wanna talk to me, send me a message. I'll be around, making horrible puns though not quite as horrible as Gus' is able to do. I'll lurk on the Discord too and if you want to be my friend there, than come at me!
