I want to start this post by apologizing for my lack of updates recently. The last few weeks have seen me working on both a brand new design for the website and also taking a much needed vacation. However, now that both of those are behind me, I can once again turn my focus to…
As 2023 comes to a close I want to take a moment to share my plans for the coming year. Fair warning, however. The paragraphs to follow are chock-full of inside baseball and boring details into the way my mind works. I started my RPG catch-up about two years ago. That’s a long time! I…
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…
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”.

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…
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…
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…
