  • Bad vs Good Matchmaking

    Hello again everyone.   Its been a busy summer for me, I have made sure to keep some time to play games and I figure its time for another “what I’ve been playing” update.    This time two games I’ve played approached a system in such strong opposite fashion that I’ve title my post around it.  Matchmaking.…

  • Summer Highlights 1

  • What I’ve Been Playing
