The Winning Formula

I’ve been thinking a lot about licensed games for some reason. Well, no, the reason is pretty clear actually; all this DuckTales I’ve been playing has reminded me that the old Capcom Disney games were all phenomenal, and it’s a damn shame there will most likely not be another generation of games like that ever […]

Irritants

There are two reasons you would want to maintain a blog, online journal or vanity website. The first is, naturally, to make money. The second, and perhaps far more satisfying, is to complain. I have no shame in admitting this: I’m firmly in the second camp. Oh, I try my best to hide it, to […]

Not pony tales or cotton tales, but…

WARNING: There will be singing before this LP is done. Enter at your own risk.

Before recording an LP, I always like to do a test play first. The primary reason for this is to make sure my recording and volume levels are good; nothing quite like recording a three-hour game only to find […]

A Lugae For All Seasons

Let’s Play Final Fantasy II is updated.

This update raises a somewhat difficult question: what, exactly does Dr. Lugae’s face look like? Reader Alex Scott has cooked up four possible interpretations:

Dr. Lugae is a man of many talents… and many faces.

The Three-Tile Rule

Sorry, you hip cats, but I didn’t have time to finish the LP post I was working on. (For the reason why, please refer to yesterday’s post title.)

But that’s okay. I’ll take this time to make fun of the RPGMaker community a little bit.

As you may or may not be aware, folks don’t […]

I am a failure in all things.

I got up early and worked all day, and still couldn’t get my next FF2 LP update done. I spent longer today working on images than I have spent playing the entire game up to this point. That’s just crazy. My head is crazy. And, as mentioned in the subject line of this post, I […]

Intangibles

Breath of Fire IV is practically intoxicating with its greatness. The game itself is… well, not precisely fun, really. By all accounts it’s a somewhat-better-than-middling RPG. But the sound and visual quality is so mesmerizing that the whole experience is improved. There are only a few games in the world I can really say that […]

Survivor: Redemption Island (week eleven)

Matt is done. He is utterly spent. He hates this stupid island, and this stupid game, and these stupid people, and stupid Jeff Probst, and he just wants to go home. Except he keeps winning challenges, because God’s plan something something. I think we’re beyond the question of what God’s plan is for Matt […]

…for dear life.

It was storming pretty good the other day. This little bugger stayed dry by clinging to the outside of our screened-in porch, just under our awning. He hung out there for an hour or two, at least.

Hang in there, little bugger.

From the Journal of a Man of No Importance

My duties were much the same as any day; put a few coppers into the hands of the corpse collectors, then return to the Mortuary and see to the organization and internment of today’s batch of Dead. But that is not where the day carried me.

I had just finished making payment of six coppers, […]
