Are you into Magic: The Gathering? Why not join up with Pioneer Valley Planeswalkers? They are: “…a club in the Pioneer Valley of […]

Read More September 2nd – September 8thMob Psycho 100 is a very fun anime, and we recommend it. Starts strong, has interesting and vibrant animation, and generally treats all the characters like worthwhile people. Also, we’ve been having fun playing the puzzle game Q.U.B.E and its sequel: Q.U.B.E 2. They’re both basically “what if Portal had a different central mechanic?” but […]
Read More August 26th – Sep 1stWe finally learned how to play Dominos, and that’s a fun game. Good job, millions upon millions of people who’ve played Dominos forever! We often give pretty short shrift to standard card/board games because we first encountered them in our youth and they seemed intensely boring compared to sticks. Now that sticks are only moderately […]
Read More August 19th – 25thWe just got the game Heat Signature, and it’s extremely neat! It’s an stealth-action game where you play any of a bunch of randomly-generated characters who live on asteroid space-stations and spend their time doing odd jobs involving all sorts of cool things. During the action you can pause to consider your next action whenever […]
Read More August 12th – 18thThis is a cute little game: https://adamgryu.itch.io/a-short-hike! It isn’t locally created but it is cute and that is great! More games should be about being a cute bird. Also in a much less cute recommendation, we’ve really enjoyed The Terror which is on Hulu. It’s about why going to the Arctic is a bad idea, […]

Read More July 8th – 14thIt has always tickled us that while the Valley is correctly proud of a music tradition that includes such wonderful bands as the Pixies but there’s not much acknowledgement that it is also the source of a lot of artwork that has managed to travel to every corner of the world without folks recognizing the […]
Read More July 1st – 7thHope you have a great week! We had a busy weekend and we’re really looking forward to a nice game of Root later in the week. Also we finished Cadence of Hyrule! What a fun game, a perfect follow-up to Crypt of the Necrodancer if you’ve already played that, and a perfect introduction to that […]
