The 12 Games of Christmas – Day 5 – Riven

“Cho…?” I first wandered the Age of Riven fourteen years ago. And the beauty of this place is just as captivating in 2011 as it was in 1997. Riven is not your average fantasy land. It feels like a real place. Everything is very well thought out, and you feel like this place could perhaps […]

Free time has been basically zero in the last month, and what little I did have I didn’t feel like spending on the WVR. I’ll get to the other missing ones eventually. YouTube videos don’t take very long to make a post about. Which is why they […]
