What Do We Know About Nancy Drew Game #34

It has officially been a year since Her Interactive's latest release, Midnight in Salem.  I cannot believe this game is a year old and after a case solved, I think I can say that everyone is looking forward for another case to solve!  Well at this moment in time, I think we're all asking the question, what do we know about Nancy Drew #34?  For todays post, I think were going to do just that!  We will be discussing what we actually do know about the next game and quickly talk about a few of my own personal guesses on what we think we know.  So let's get started!

My Flourishing December Goals 2020

It seems like it's been forever since I've written anything on my blog and I suppose it has since the last time I wrote anything for my blog was back in September and my last post was on October 2nd.  I thought it would be a good idea to just share kind of what's been happening over the last few months and why I haven't been posting/active on social media.  As well as what I'm planing on in the future on my blog.  So let's get started!

Banished Review

I think its safe to say that I'm addicted to building simulations, especially where I can build my own medieval village!  So when I saw Banished I knew that I had to play this game.  Banished   is a city building strategy game where a ground of exiled travelers decided to start their lives in a new land with only the clothes on their back and a cart of supplies.  The game was released by Shining Rock Software LLC on February 18th, 2014.  So let's get started!

Assassin's Creed Odyssey Review

With Assassin's Creed Valhalla being released soon, I thought it was time that I reviewed Assassin's Creed Odyssey!  I was really excited for the release of this game due to it being similar in gameplay style of Assassin's Creed Origin along with the game being slightly distant from the main focus of the Assassin's Creed series as well as wanting to explore the beautiful Greek world!  Assassin's Creed Odyssey was released by Ubisoft on October 2nd, 2018 and is the 11th game in the main series.  So let's get started!

Nancy Drew Last Train To Bluemoon Canyon Review

Out of all the Nancy Drew games I always seem to go back and replay just a handful of games.  Last Train To Bluemoon Canyon is one of a handful of games that I just love to play.  I thought it would be fun to reviews this game next!  Last Train to Bluemoon Canyon is the 13th game in the Nancy Drew series by Her Interactive was was released on September 15th, 2005.  So let's get started!

Nancy Drew Merchandise I Want To See

If there's one thing I don't have enough of its Nancy Drew game themed merchandise. With Her Interactive switching over to TeeSpring for selling their merchandise, their whole collection of items have change, though they still offer some of these items on TeeSpring, many of their previous items now are no longer sold. So I though it would be fun to share with everyone what kind of Nancy Drew merchandise I would love to see Her Interactive sell again. So let's get started!

Nancy Drew The Silent Spy Review

I've been having so much fun replaying all the Nancy Drew game I can this summer and after finishing up Trail of the Twister, the next game that was picked for my Nancy Drew Battle Challenge was The Silent Spy!  This game is an all time favorite for me as this is the only game were we get to learn more about Nancy and her family before her mom passed away.  I was super excited to play the game when it was first released and I supper excited to be review it today!  The Silent Spy in the 29th game in the Nancy Drew series and was released by Her Interactive on October 22nd, 2013.  So let's get started!

Nancy Drew Ransom of the Seven Ships Review

Well, I thought it was better late than never.  Though Her interactive decided to stop selling the game, I thought it would be a good idea to finally take the time to write my review for the game.  Her Interactive discontinued the sale of Ransom of the Seven Ships (RAN) as of June 5th, 2020, however this quiet change was not noticed until August 7th, 2020.  However, there is still some good news as you can still buy RAN which I have linked down below.  Ransom of the Seven Ships was released on July 14, 2009 by Her Interactive.  So let's get started!

Her Interactive Discontinues Nancy Drew Ransom of the Seven Ships

I'm honestly shocked.  I never thought HeR Interactive would discontinue another one of their games.  If they did, I always thought it would be Stay Tuned for Danger (STfD) due to the age of the game not working on new computers, but surprisingly it wasn't. It was Nancy Drew Ransom of the Seven Ships (RAN).  I thought I would write a post about it and just talk about what I know about why HeR pulled the game from every retailer they could.  So let's begin.

End of An Era for Her Interactive's Nancy Drew Games?

As many of you may know, I'm not particularly fond of gossip and I only like to talk about true facts that have been confirmed by a reliable source such as an official press statement from the company.  However, at this time, I feel that if I don't say anything at all from the news that I’ve seen, that it would be misleading if I continued to say nothing.  So in today’s post, we're going to be talking about what I believe might be the end of an era for the Nancy Drew point and click video game series from Her Interactive.  So let's begin!

Nancy Drew Message In A Haunted Mansion Review

For over the last year, I've really wanted to review some of the Assassin's Creed games on my blog.  I have spend so much time playing each of the games, however, due to time constants I was never able to do this before now!  My idea has final turned into reality with being able to finally have time to sit down and write my review for Assassin's Creed Black Flag!  Black Flag was my first AC game that I played without Daniella (The Little Book Spy).  So I thought it was only fitting that this would be my first AC review.  Assassin's Creed Black was created by Ubisoft and was released on October 29th, 2013.  So let's get started!

Nancy Drew Trail of the Twister Review

As vacation starts for many, I found that I've really wanted to go back and jump into some of the older Nancy Drew games.  So this summer, I've decided to start back up my Nancy Drew Battle Challenge with Daniella (The Little Book Spy) and the game that she picked was Trail of the Twister!  So I thought it was a great chance to finally write my review for the game!  Trail of the Twister was released by Her Interactive on June 29th, 2010.  So let's get started!

My Flourishing TBP Gaming List Part 1

I think everyone at this point in time has a TBP (To Be Played) gaming list and for me this list has grown dramatically which leads me to forgetting games.  So over the last few months, I slowly began compiling a list of games that I've either haven't finished or haven't even started.  But first let me tell you a little secret, I have added so many games on this list that I have basically years worth of games that I could play and never be bored ever again.  However, the idea of playing one of these games always seemed to get pushed off for either lack of interest, being busy, or the game you chose is so long that it could take 2 years to complete... I'm looking at you Assassin's Creed Odyssey!

So instead of either sitting and staring at the list of all the possible games I have and do nothing or waiting for the console to play the game I want (I share my console.), I've decided to share a list of games that are on my TBP list and use this as a way to encourage myself to jump into some of these amazing stories.  So let's begin!

Story Idea's for Nancy Drew Game 34

Thank you everyone for reading!  This month and probably the next three months up until after exams in May are going to make blogging super hectic but I'm up for the challenge!  If there is any change in my schedule when it come to posting then you can find then usually over on my Twitter @RetrospectBlog!  So are you looking forward to my next set of review and can you guess what Nancy Drew games I will be reviewing next?

January Blogger Goals 2020

It's officially 2020 and I am super excited for what this year has to bring!  Last year, I set a bunch of New Years resolutions over the whole year.  Well, you can say that I did pretty well last year as I reached a few of my goals such as being more active in the blogging community, being consistent in blogging, and finishing a games before starting new ones.  Well this year, I think I'm going to set a few monthly goals instead of yearly goals.  So let's get started on this months goals.

Post At Least 4 Times This Month

Every year I try to blog as consistently as possible and having at least one post go out every Friday at 12pm AZ time.  This is my normal blogging schedule and I'm really hoping to stick with it this year since I seem to struggle at the beginning of the year with blogging due to getting busy with classes and just finding the motivation to write.  This year I hope with my more relaxed schedule that it will allow me to not only write post but to get ahead with it.

Get Better at Commenting on Other Posts

I have a slightly bad habit of not commenting on others post if I enjoyed what they wrote.  This month I'm hoping to improve on this and get better at commenting on everyones post that I read.

Take Time off When Needed

Whenever I get into blogging I always ended up getting burn out since I have a bad habit of trying to over work myself.  This month I'm hoping to create a balance between my blogging and taking time off.

Improve my Blog Content

Over the last year I've been improving my older blogs content and updating my older review grammar, pictures, and basically adding new things into my older reviews.  I'm super excited to continue updating everything and I can't wait for everyone too read my updated work.

Thank you everyone for reading!  I hope I'm able to follow through with my goals for the month and continue improving my blog!  So what goals do you have for either this month or this year?  I would love to know in the comments down below.

Until next time,
