  • Adam’s Top 10 of the Decade

    03/01/2020
    As we say hello to the 2020’s I thought I’d share some of my best moments of the decade. A lot has happened, there’s been plenty of ups and downs but across the things covered by Out of Lives most of it was good. Well, most of what I...

  • Rock & Stone! (Deep Rock Galactic)

    02/12/2019
    It isn’t often that I buy games on a whim. I usually have a mountain of information at my disposal before making a purchase. Even if I haven’t sought it out to begin with, I usually have a good idea about the games I think might interest me. I’m...

  • Record Of Grancrest War

    18/11/2019
    Record Of Grancrest War is an anime that aired in 2018, based on a light novel series of the same name, by A-1 Pictures. It’s an anime I enjoyed watching but as I’ve sat with it since I’ve had more and more problems with it. I enjoyed it as...

    So, you think you know the alphabet. You think you know which letters come where. You think that if presented with a series of letters you’d be able to select them in chronological order. You think that you can do that easily while being attacked by a tiny 8-bit...

  • Free 2 Destiny

    09/10/2019
    Since Destiny 2 went (mostly) free to play last week, I’ve played quite a bit of it. It’s a bold plan from Bungie since their split from publisher Activision to make basically their entire game free to play with only the latest expansion’s content still behind the paywall. Time...

  • Football Drama

    30/09/2019
    I’ve been struggling with Football Drama. It’s a small indie title by Open Lab Games, released on Steam, iOS & Android. The premise is an interesting one. It’s a satirical take on Football management inspired by the vast amounts of literature on the subject and the narratives that come...
