Believe it or not, I don’t sign on very often for the whole “indie game” experience. I see nothing wrong with them obviously, different strokes for different folks and that’s great. But take it from me, more times than not when new indie game comes out I very rarely if ever the first, second or…

Revisiting: Final Fantasy IX
When I was younger, my mom used to take me to Blockbuster to rent something every friday. A time-honored tradition to most 90’s and even 80’s kids we would usually pick a video game. I distinctly remember finding the newest Final Fantasy at the time on the shelf and I instantly knew I had to…
Gaming Memories: Golden Sun
All things considered, there are only a handful of times where there was a game I absolutely HAD to have when I finally had the console I wanted
Gaming Memories: Game Gear Games
From other posts you might already know that the Sega Game Gear was the first gaming system I owned (got it as a christmas present). And I also wrote 2 separate posts on games that I had for it (Castle of Illusion and Dragon Crystal). But since I don’t really have some big story for…
History of a Transformers Fan – Part 2
The previous post ended with me watching the first season of the Beast Wars series on TV, which reignited my interest in the franchise. This was around 98/99 (the series only started airing in 98 here in Germany, 2 years after it was originally released) and stores here at the time had “Robots in Disguise”…

Backlog Battle: Tower 57 (2017)
Well my second go at the twin-stick shooter genre at least went better than the last one (with Helldivers). Tower 57 is a Kickstarter-financed 2D-Pixel-art twin-stick shooter with an actual single-player campaign. But does that mean that I like it? Let’s see… Better first Impression Tower 57 has several nice aspects to it that I…
Anime Impressions: “Black Clover” – NOPE’d outta there
Well this doesn’t happen often… but I actually quit watching this anime right after the first episode because I just couldn’t stand one of the characters. It’s really kind of a shame, because I found the premise of the series pretty interesting, at least judging by the first episode. The animation was fine as well….
Hardware Impressions: Rii Mini Keyboard
I have had an Intel NUC Mini-PC for several years now, for use as a media player, playing older games on the TV and some other stuff. Since a regular keyboard and mouse combo is rather unwieldy when sitting in front of the TV even with wireless options, I have been using a wireless compact…
