Do You Hear the People Sing? – the Leitmotif in Video Game Music
I was planning on doing a simple ‘favourite tracks’ post on FFXIV, much like I did for SWTOR before, but when going through said favourites, it quickly became clear that it would not be enough for me to simply list some songs and write a few sentences as to why when what I really wanted
Nostalgia or Magic – Perhaps They Are One and the Same
My personal history with RPGs and Final Fantasy is pretty easily summarised: It’s a love story. The first time I played a Final Fantasy game was when I was around twelve to thirteen years old. Camping out at my cousin’s place during summer vacation, they had just bought the brand-new title Final Fantasy VII. I
Nothing but extreme opinions – but does it have to be that way?
Spoiler alert: It really doesn’t! I few weeks ago I played the Anthem demo for two weekends in a row and was pretty much immediately hooked. The game has fun combat, a beautiful scenery and not even the load screen bugs (of which I had surprisingly few to be fair though) could stop the enthusiasm.
I hold the patience of stone and the will of stars – Video Game Music With A Star Wars Twist
I have written several posts about my favourite video game soundtracks before. This time I thought I’d do a less general one and focus down on what I love musically about just one game: Star Wars The Old Republic. The Old Republic is a Star Wars MMO made by Bioware that came out late in
The Terrible Boredom Of Good vs Evil – Where is the nuance in alignment based stories?
Inspired by a talk on Discord or well, rather me talking at Julie on Discord about SWTOR while she has to work/sleep and do other important real life tasks, I have put a lot of thought into the topic of alignment and character motivation of my characters in video games over the past two days.
What’s love got to do with it…
For the last three weeks I have to admit I have not been doing much else in my free time besides playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I am far from being done. In fact, according tto my Uplay stats I am only about 56% through with the main story and about 40% through with exploration. It
Finding your way like nobody else – First impressions of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Early access has it’s ups and downs. Clearly it is amazing to not have to wait any longer and jump into a game as soon as possible. On the flip side though: If you have an issue, there are not many people around that can help you. Luckily I found the solution to my issues
Great game, well done! – Positivity instead of toxicity
Ever since I started playing Overwatch I have put a lot more thought into in game interactions between players. Trying to understand what makes some games work well and what turns others into a completely horribly experience. I’ve been a part of the online gaming scene for decades by now – and each online game

It’s been about a year since I posted the last recommendation post for video game soundtracks and in this year a lot has happened, a lot of games have been played and some really great pieces of video game music have been discovered or even re-discovered by me throughout the months. So this is mainly
Tranquillity in Chaos – A Personal View About Gaming With Aspergers And ADHD
I am not completely sure how relatable this is going to be, but here is my personal take and thoughts behind being a gamer with Aspergers and ADHD: When I started gaming as a kid my favourite game was Sonic. Somehow the high speed of the game was calming to me, even then. I loved
