If you're looking for a website to peruse this weekend, may I suggest the recently launched--well, back in July--A Most Agreeable Pastime?
This blog certainly has an interesting hook: Every post resides within "the Victorian Manor of Lucius P. Merriweather and Sir Gaulian, two stalwart enthusiasts of the new pastime of Video Gaming."
For instance, reviews of "long-lost classic games" can be found in the manor's cellar, while Lucius' and Sir Gaulian's backlogs can be found on its mantelpiece.
It's all rather cheeky--not to mention completely engrossing--so if you're at all into cheeky, engrossing blogs, check out amostagreeablepastime. wordpress.com at your earliest convenience.
I've been poking around there already – what a lot of fun stuff to read! AND they're Aussie! That's always a plus ;) Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, Anne! It is a lot of fun, isn't it? I'm really impressed with the whole set-up: The design, the "voice," everything :)
ReplyDeleteI love the premise. This is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHa! I thought you'd like this, Justin. It is brilliant, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBTW, in case you or anyone else is wondering, one of the guys responsible for this blog also is responsible for "101 Video Games That Made My Life Slightly Better."
Great tip. Nice blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Erik!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation. We thought we were rather smart in coming up with the concept!
ReplyDeleteYou *were* rather smart in coming up with the concept, er, Sir. Keep up the good work! :)
