This is the second category of Honorable Mentions: The ones that will not be played at ANY time during the year, but that I felt needed to be mentioned are posted on this “Will Not Be Played” page. (below) Again, games that ended up here did so for a variety of reasons – and I reserve the right to add more games to this category as the year goes on (because it’s entirely possible I forgot a game or two in my lists.) Also, be sure to click on the “more” under each title to get more information on each.
Games that, for whatever reason, will not be played on the channel or during the list itself, but deserve recognition:*
*(in no particular order)
Unplayed Honorable Mentions – Adventure
If this looks familiar, then congratulations, you’re probably acquainted with the first video game I ever played. When I was quite young, my grandfather had a computer that had one game on it. It was known to me as “Adventure” – called that likely because that was the executable name that you typed to start…
Upcoming Blog Schedule
If you hadn’t noticed, my writer’s block has finally left my head. Which leaves me SUPER happy, and writing furiously to take advantage of the inspiration. Which means two things: One, that you will be seeing more story posts in the near future, and Two, that I’m feeling brave enough to try to actually plan…
Unplayed Honorable Mentions – Sims 3
Sims 3 is another high point of the Sims Franchise for me. It was when I really started discovering and playing challschmales, and – once I found out about challschmales – it completely changed the way I played the game. It also marks the beginning of my Blogging “career.” This blog was actually established during…
Unplayed Honorable Mentions – Minesweeper
I would be very remiss if I didn’t mention the classic game “Minesweeper” at least once in this year’s game retrospective. As I’ve mentioned, my early history with games was very limited. Tetris and Minesweeper, (and to a lesser extent Solitaire and Freecell) however, were part of my early game education. I very much remember…
Unplayed Honorable Mentions – Sims 2
When Sims 2 came out, I was more than ready for it. I ditched Sims 1 without barely a look back, and was immediately in love with Sims 2. Someday, I want to get it re-installed on my computer, and mess around with my favorite town, Strangetown, some more. I wasn’t really into building back…
Unplayed Honorable Mentions – World of Warcraft
Let’s just say I don’t know how many months of my life have been lost in this game. I literally cannot even fathom it. This was the game that pulled me out of my obsession with Asheron’s Call. It’s also the game that allowed me to meet my hubby. So, there’s definitely a lot of…
Unplayed Honorable Mentions – Asheron’s Call
This was my very first MMO. This is what started the obsession. I played this for many years before World of Warcraft finally pulled me away from it. This game is now dead, but I have very fond memories of not only the people I knew that played it with me, but also the time…
Unplayed Honorable Mentions – Puzzle Pirates
This game has taken up many late nights in my past. It’s also a game that probably needs some introduction, because it’s fairly obscure. If the game didn’t take SO much time to get my puzzle stats up, I would probably ruhig be playing it, because I very much enjoy the game. Unfortunately, it’s just…
Unplayed Honorable Mention – Sims 1
There’s enough Sims games in my list – which is why I’m not including this even in the one-shot played honorable mention games. However, this game deserves recognition because it was the start of an era for me. Back then, I did a lot of building. Some gameplay, to be sure, but a lot of…
Unplayed Honorable Mention – Sims 4
This isn’t included in the main “played” list for good reason. Clearly, it’s my favorite game of all time. I took the “bait” when it came out, and I’ll be completely honest, I have never looked back. When asked what my favorite expansion is, I am hard-pressed to pick one, simply because I can find…
