Hey! Syrsly here! This is my blog!

I post monthly news recaps and talk regularly about games and
virtual reality!

Most Interesting Games August 2024

Give me games or give me death!

This is a new article series which will be a bit of a side venture from the WTF Happened series, where we recap what happened in the past month. In the Most Interesting Games series, I'll be covering recent releases from the past 2 months as well as upcoming releases which recently released demos or just look incredible or  are releasing within the next month. This is Most Interesting Games August 2024 edition!

WTF Happened June 2024

Sometimes, you just need a recap.

This is the third recap post, affectionately titled "WTF Happened," so hey, Syrsly here! This is a monthly news post of sorts. I'll use these recaps to briefly cover cool, exciting and also not-so-good and downright terrible events which happened in and around the past month. I'll cover things like world news, movies, TV shows, tech, VR, personal projects (like this blog), cool game releases, and anything I find out during the month that I personally think is worth mentioning. I ask around on social media toward the end of each month for ideas, and I may or may not steal credit for the news I place here! I will cite references when it suits me! Moving on....

In the first two WTF Happened articles, I separated news into categories. I think this was a mistake, because it adds unnecessary effort trying to make everything fit into broad categories and makes it too easy to focus on one type of news when the whole point is to recap everything noteworthy! What do you mean, "Stop screaming"? Well, let's change things up. From now on, this blog series will start with something good - at least something I *think* is good - alternate between good and bad news, and end with something else that's good!
