2021 was an odd year for the site. In terms of gaming, progress on my backlog was slower than in previous years, but still fairly steady. Several of the games I played and reviewed were chock full of content and took quite a while to digest. Despite this, a number of them were Class A…
Due to an overwhelming amount of feedback regarding site performance, I have once again updated the visual layout for OldGameHermit.com. In the distant past, I always focused on performance over aesthetics. Now, that isn’t to say that I’ve ever been willing to suffer from an ugly-looking site. But things like page-load speed and browser…
I’m happy to announce that as of 11/27/2020, my site modernization project is complete. All game review posts now share a unified format as well as high quality art/screenshots. Now that this project is out of the way, I will resume my regular posting schedule. I appreciate your patience while I worked through these changes….
I want to apologize for the turn around time of new posts. As I mentioned last month, I’m currently undertaking a vast update to the contents of the site. Legacy posts are being updated to the new layout. At the time of this writing, I’m almost halfway done. Once this project is complete, new posts…
Just a quick note to explain the slower-than-normal release of new content to the site. Yes, I’m still gaming and working on new reviews. But in addition to that, I’m also working on a major modernization to much of the previous content from years past. Back when this site first launched, the internet was a…
Now that my sub-focus on Arcade Fighters has come to an end, it’s time to move on. Back in October I took my first step into the next generation of my backlog with a review of Luigi’s Mansion for the Nintendo GameCube. In the months to follow, I’ll be diving into games from both the…
First, I want to apologize for a lack of content during the last thirty days. I’ve been slow posting new articles because I’ve been hard at work fixing a number of performance issues with the site. To start, I’ve switched my hosting to a much faster provider. This conversion took a considerable amount of time….
As those of you who have been following me for a long time know, the overall purpose of this site has always been to chronicle my various interests in anything “nerd-related”. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been passionate about nerdy things. As a young child, my obsession started with my introduction…
Yeah. I know. It was a little over a year ago since I promised to start my playthrough reviews of games from the Game Cube/Xbox/PS2 era. But, like I said at the time, before jumping into the next generation of games, I wanted to take a moment and gloss over a number of classics that…
Today, I’d like to announce a major change to the site. Effective 9/11/2019, retrosensei.com has officially become oldgamehermit.com! This is something I’ve been kicking around for quite some time. To explain the change, please allow me a moment to give you a little history surrounding the origins of this blog. Initially, when I started this…
