So I was expecting today’s blog post to pretty much just be “I AM PLAYING FF13 LEAVE ME ALONE” in giant bold letters… but then the PS3 was like “lol u need to update dudez” so I’m kind of just sitting here fondling the game box. So I guess I’ll review that.

…and I don’t know how I feel about that. It’s difficult to judge, really, but I’m fairly certain MM10 is much more difficult than MM9 was. I couldn’t even make it to the boss doors in half of the stages. In some cases the mid-point boss was tougher than the robot master was. I’m sure practice, [...]

Mega Man 10 on Wii, big bottle of Pepsi and a bag of cheeseburger flavored Doritos. Does life get more gluttonous or self-indulgent than this? I submit that it does not, sir.
Mega Man 10 is, of course, amazing so far. I’ve only seen three levels and I’m already in love. In fact, I want to [...]

The title is dumb. It’s unpronouncable. It’s not unrecognizable, though; ten years from now you’ll be able to talk about “veevuhveeveevuhvee” or “that game with all the Vs in it” and people will be able to understand you. (Providing they’ve played the game of course.) I’ve seen the idea bandied about that a string of [...]

…but then I got sidetracked with trying to get DScaler to record decent video from my Wii. I can either get a crystal clear half-height video (like in this Little Big Planet video I put up a couple days ago) or a nigh-unwatchable blurry full-height video.
It’s all codecs and de-interlacers and encoders and whatnot. I [...]

Isn’t it a good feeling to know that you’ve put the final touches on a project? I wouldn’t know, of course, since today I didn’t finish the enormously long co-op Let’s Play series I’ve been recording on and off since November. We finished the game, sure, but there’s still a lot of footage to sift [...]

Just what is this Mega Man X: Guns of the Mavericks thing? Is this a real thing? Should I play it?
My experience with romhacks has been that they almost always, universally, overwhelmingly suck. And yet I am continually drawn back to them, like a Morph Moth to a Flame Mammoth. Maybe it’s better that I [...]

I think I might be more excited to play MM10 than I was for MM9. With MM9 there was that lurking suspicion that the game might suck, you know? But now that we know it didn’t we can pretty much look forward to MM10 completely free of apprehension.
There was a time when I would have [...]

I was surprised how large a role Shepard’s crew actually played in the original Mass Effect. One of the things I’ve always liked about Japanese RPGs versus western ones are the colorful casts… the sense of “these are the good guys — my good guys”. There’s a very strict, solid line drawn between a character [...]

There is no Suikoden VI, of course. But it’s nice to speculate. And speculate we did, shortly after Suikoden V came out several years ago. My good buddy FD and I had long conversations about what the grand finale of the Suikoden series might be like: nations from all over the globe teaming up to [...]
