I usually don’t do much actual roleplaying in video games. When you give me a blank slate to play with, I tend to just use that character as a blank slate. I picked every lock and robbed every shop in Oblivion, never thought twice about it, and don’t really consider it a blemish on my […]
There are a hundred thousand LPs of Symphony of the Night floating around, but I couldn’t find one where someone plays the PSP version as Maria Renard. So I made one myself.
This game clocks in a little over two hours. Since Maria is a bonus character she doesn’t really have a goal the […]
I finished watching season one of that show everyone else watched six years ago. The one with the deserted island, and the cryptic numbers.
There are lots of things I like about it, and lots of things I’m unsure of. I can’t say with any authority whether there’s anything about it I don’t like. I’m […]
Season twenty-one. Let’s get on with it, then.
The very first thing I noticed when watching this episode was a dude named Jud complaining about monkeys. Which, as a Survivor junkie of some renown, made me smile because I fondly remember in Survivor: Guatemala where a dude named Judd spent all his time complaining […]
Back when the previous Layton game came out, I wrote this post about how hilariously inept Layton was as poor Flora’s caretaker, if indeed that was his role. I’m happy to report that her status in the third game, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, hasn’t improved much. I’m still only about 80 puzzles in, […]
It all started when I made this weird, rambling post complaining about Samus Aran’s characterization in Other Msome crappy new game I hadn’t even played. Basically, I feel like there aren’t enough awesome female protagonists in video games. I took an inventory of every console game I’ve purchased in the last ten years and made […]
Since I decided to pass on Final Fantasy XIV for now, that freed up $80 to spend on other games this month. I spent it as follows:
Tomb Raider (PSN, $10) Tomb Raider Anniversary (360, $20) Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (DS, $30) Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City (DS, $30)
Er… okay, that […]
When I came home from work this morning and slumped in front of the computer to get my YouTubes on, I saw I had a friend invite pending. Usually this is some random kid who likes video games or whatever, or maybe some dude with a band who is just spamming invites to everyone he’s […]
So the Final Fantasy XIV beta is over now. I realize it was a beta, and not a demo, but either way I’m pretty convinced I shouldn’t buy the game. At least, not right now.
The game, in its current state, is just so, so hard to play. The entire interface is a clunky, barely-responsive […]
