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 titles that I’ve looked forward...
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 original Xbox and the Playstation...
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. But, during this downtime I...
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 to Star Wars. It was...
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 I failed to touch on...
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 site back in 2012, it...
Now that I’ve completed all the games on my 64-bit Generation playlist, I’m excited to announce a new project. Before I dive into what is, for the lack of a better term, the “128-bit era”, I’m going to take some time to do a bit of a refresher on some of the generations I’ve already covered on this site. In...
I know… I said it last December. But this time I mean it. My “turn of the century” playthrough reviews are almost at an end. I thought I’d be done with these reviews at the beginning of the year. But, my plans were delayed by the building of my new PC. Then, a change to my work routine caused a...
I’m currently undertaking the task of trying to make the site a bit more uniform. The next week or two will be slow as I am pouring through the archive of posts and making formatting corrections, etc. Many of the original posts on this site were migrated from my old blog and there were still some nagging layout problems that...
Quick update! I’ve recently added a few new tabs to the front page: Twitter, Backlog, Streams, Radio, Record Shelf, and Pantry. Here’s a quick rundown on what these new areas are for: TWITTER: An embedded link to my twitter feed. BACKLOG: I’ve finally done the unspeakable and posted my complete game backlog. This is an exhaustive list of every game...
