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. In the coming days I’ll...
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 different place. High-speed ISPs were...
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...
I’m currently testing a new layout and theme for the site. This should give everything a more modern look and feel. If you encounter any issues, please feel free to reply to this post and drop me a line!
A few months ago, when I completed my initial playthroughs for the PS1/N64 era, I introduced the “Retro Flashback” series of articles on this site. This was my way to sort of play catch up before starting to dive into the next generation of gaming. So far, I’ve covered the golden age of video games with coin-op classics and 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...
I’m little late getting this post in, but I’ve finally had time to dive into the latest update for Final Fantasy XIV. Like most point releases, this patch adds several new things to the game. But sadly, one of the biggest pieces of content will have to wait a little while longer. The addition of the Eureka battle system has...
Well, 2018 is finally here. My last full “update” post was in Spring of 2017. Prior to that, I posted one in Fall of 2016 where I outlined my plans for the next year. I’m happy to say that I pretty much managed to keep my promises as far as progress on my backlog. I had hoped to be finished...
I would like to apologize for the lack of updates in the last month. In a nutshell, I’ve been away dealing with some real life issues. Some things came up that required my full attention. For the last thirty days or so I’ve been focused solely on dealing with these issues that I’ve not spent a moment thinking about games...
