Time to Loot Turns Six
Six years in blogging terms feels like a long time to me. And at the same time, I remember the first days of Time to Loot like they were only yesterday. Looking back at the first post on Time to…

Looking Back on Gaming — 2024 Edition
Something of a habit formed over my years of blogging, one that I first picked up from Belghast, is to take a look back at the big honking spreadsheet of gaming data collected over the year. One of the benefits…
Time to Loot Journal: December 2024
Gosh. Another year done and dusted. Tonight (from my perspective of sitting and writing this in New Zealand) we usher in a brand new year. I’m not sure I’m ready for that, frankly! So far as recent years have gone,…
Time to Loot Journal: November 2024
Guys, it’s December. What the heck? I mean- I am fairly chuffed about this fact, it means the Christmas holidays are nigh! But also, wow. The week after next I have a surgery scheduled — nothing to worry about, but…
Time to Loot Journal: October 2024
End of year is fast approaching, eh? Another month down, a little less than two to go. Probably our biggest project delivery of the year is done and dusted on the work front, having delivered in the last week. That…

Post Gamescom Coverage
While I’m sure this is happening for a wider spectrum of games as well, there are two in particular that are grabbing my attention at the moment. Perhaps as no great shock — they’re the two that were of interest…
The Music of Kaos (Episode 1)
It was another day spent with time at the airport, although this time at least it was coming home. With the time zones involved, despite leaving at a pretty humane hour, I didn’t land back in New Zealand until 23:00…
Building Motivation While it’s in Short Supply – Part 3: We Are Where We Are, But How Do We Get Where We Want?
At the risk of getting this post derailed right from the get-go… Jaedia wrote a great piece on the fact that you cannot fail Blaugust. And she is 100% right. When it comes to Blaugust; just deciding to participate is…
