Welcome to JohnHQLD.com! I’m JohnHQLD, and this is my little corner of the internet. Hopefully, you will come and join us as we share our love of gaming.
Mainly I will be talking about things that catch my interest, primarily in gaming. Board Games, Video Games, Puzzles – I don’t mind. As long as we are all having fun, that’s all I worry about.
If there is anything you would like to discuss or would like my thoughts on, leave me a note on the Facebook page, or @JohnHQLD me on Twitter or Instagram! Follow me on Instagram if you also want to see lots of pics of our pets as well 🙂
Last Week’s Gaming
It was a big week for me last week. So many things happened, including getting my new CPU! While I didn’t have much energy for gaming, I did manage to get in some awesome gaming time. Catching up with Alpal and Simon was definitely a highlight!

I haven’t been back at work for a full week, but I am ready for another holiday! Rabbit and I managed to nab tickets for PAX Aus, so there is that light at the end of the tunnel. 
Last Week’s Gaming
It’s the last day of the long weekend, and I am back on the path of being rested up. That didn’t help too much with gaming last week. I did get in a couple of really good sessions with Cyberpunk’s 1.2 patch and Bravely Default 2. I even got to play a childhood favourite with a new facelift!
New site plans on hold until 2022
I was going to release this yesterday, but this is no April Fools. It’s coming up to 5 months and no new CPU, and the workarounds are taking their toll. I can’t keep up with my own schedule. As the pressure is ‘self-inflicted’, I can revert back to keeping JohnHQLD as a blog. At least for this year. But that doesn’t mean my plans are shelved…
April 2021 Highlights
April is a strange month for what has caught my attention. A PlayStation 5 launch announcement is releasing, as well as a new version of an N64 staple. There will likely be much more than I have jotted down today, but as there is little confirmed on that front, right now it doesn’t exist in my world.

Coming out of being sick and keeping up with work before going on leave have taken their toll. I only played one game last week, nothing compared to my normal gaming. I didn’t even find an adamantoise! But I now have a chance to talk about Bravely Default 2’s tonal mid game changes in a little more detail.

Still being sick, I didn’t get in much gaming last week. But I did make headway in Bravely Default 2, The good news is I have made headway in some new rejigged site plans, so that will hopefully be revealed sometime next week!
A LOT of Game Bundle Print and Play Kickstarter
I said that this year I was going to do a lot more Print and Play games. That is still on the cards, but there is no reason why I wouldn’t look for a few more. And on Kickstarter there is the A LOT of Game Bundle to help me increase my Print and Play library some more.

I have come down sick! 
Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall Kickstarter
Gloom from 2005 is a rather niche game that is well-known, but I rarely meet people that have actually played it. Well today (if I got my timing right) Atlas Games have launched Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall, the stand-alone sequel/big box/revised version of Gloom!
