  • Who Am I?

     

    Yo! My name is Robbie. Join me as I fumble through this blog thing and rattle on about games and stuff that I like!

    I don’t feel like there are many gamers out there with my kind of tastes – at least it feels that way most of the time – so I’m starting this page in hopes of finding others out there, who like me, have strange kinda tastes.

    This is going to be interesting.

    So, if you’ve somehow found yourself here, then I hope you manage to dig A Certain Kind of Gamer.

IMPULSE PURCHASE – I Couldn’t Help Myself // GRAVEL Ice and Fire DLC

April 17, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

Where hath my integrity gone? I told you in the last post that I try to avoid EB Games on principal. Well, throw that out the window, because I bought a massive bucket-list item from them today. I couldn’t help it, honest! The price on the Logitech G920 was pretty damned good, and when I rang the store to see if they had it in stock, they were super nice, so eh, what the hell.

NOW PLAYING: DiRT Rally (PC) // Gotcha Racing 2nd (SWITCH)

April 10, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

Giving games a second chance can, sometimes, totally pay off.

I can be stubborn and closed-minded when I experience a game for the first time. I imagine what it would be like for a long while, and then when the game inevitably fails to live up to my expectations, I’m done. Out for the count.

But nine times out of ten, I’ll choose to revisit said game. I’ll come back in with low expectations and an open mind. And sometimes, just sometimes, a game that I ignorantly detested so damned hard becomes something else entirely. Where hate once stood, there is now only love.

This happened to me a few days ago, and DiRT Rally is one such game.

I’ve also been hopelessly hooked on Gotcha Racing 2nd on the Switch. Great game, and I’ll tell you all about it reeeeeeal soon!

But first, DiRT Rally.
