Survivor: Nicaragua, week four

I just want this to be perfectly clear: Brenda and Chase are going to blindside Naonka. This won’t be hard to do, since there are at least three other players in line waiting to vote her off, and Naonka is too dim to realize when she’s being lied to. This is going to happen, […]

The Off-the-Shelf Heroine

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 […]

The Last Few Castlevania Characters

In case you’re wondering if I’ve abandoned the Game Heroines series, well, no, I haven’t. I decided to post it on Sundays instead of Fridays, because it is infinitely easier for me to write a detailed blog post at work on Saturday night than it is at home on Thursday. Fewer distractions, see.

So most […]

I really tried to resist naming this post “I played ALL the games!”

…but as you can see, I couldn’t. Thanks to Hyperbole and a Half, “I x ALL the y!” seems to be a meme with some staying power.

I really did play all the games though. Here’s what I thought/am thinking of them:

Mighty Flip Champs

The most notable downside to this game is that it’s […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week three

The theme of this weeks episode was predictability. Inevitably, each season of Survivor has an episode or two where there are no surprises or change-ups; everything thing you expect to happen happens. It’s only natural. Sometimes the game just works itself into a state where everyone’s optimal play is as obvious to us as […]

Welp, they put a shirt on my dog.

This is what we call “escalation”.

Survivor: Nicaragua, week two

Being a few weeks behind on Survivor means everyone has something to say to me about it, you know, without spoiling it. The first person to talk to me about episode two talked about how crazy and retarded tribal council was. The second person to talk to me about it talked about how crazy and […]

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge (First Impressions)

I was able to spend about 45 minutes with Shantae: Risky’s Revenge today before I had to force myself to go to bed. Hey, I know. But don’t blame me. If I’d been able to download the game at 8am like I wanted to, I would have spent the entire morning with it.

The first […]

Way Behind On Everything

Between the six or seven games I’m trying to play right now (with another pretty important one coming tomorrow), I have been slacking off on my various internet duties, up to and including the Great Heroines series, Survivor posts, my FF1 LP, and getting another YouTube set done.

But you know? Sometimes in life you […]

Castlevania: Musical Term of Negative Emotion

Several weeks after all my friends quit playing it, I finally downloaded Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. This is that new weird multiplayer edition, starring characters from the entire series mythos. Supposedly it is insanely grind-y, but that’s okay, because it’s made more fun simply by virtue of playing with other people. (World of Warcraft has […]
