The Myth of The Second Playthrough

I am about to shock a lot of you, but I very rarely ever consider how many games I buy in a year. It really doesn’t cross my mind unless something or someone forces me to really look inward and go “Shit I spent an unfathomable amount of money on an adult hobby with my…

Nostalgia, Pokemon, and The 90’s

I was born in 1988, while some may say I was an 80’s baby, I more appropriately call myself a 90’s kid, as not only did I grow up in the 90’s I have a pretty strong memory of what was big, what wasn’t big and what absolutely was a massive deal. Unlike someone of…

So, About The Switch

Believe it or not, I have spent the better part of 4 days thinking about what I want to write versus what I have already written. This was a mistake, you see I was under the weird and very uninformed assumption that I had written far more than I had thought. Turns out when I…

Boy did that cause a reaction! Instead of cramming this into tweets, I figured why not…

Recently Finished: Evoland

This game is a pretty much perfect example of how to squander the potential of a good idea. Making an homage / a parody on the evolution of RPGs/games could have been SO GOOD. But besides some neat bits in the early parts, many of the later parts of the game make it devolve into…

Disclaimer: In this segment I’m going to post old video game reviews of mine. Some of them got taken offline for unknown reasons, others laid to rest along the websites with them. Being it only fair to the developer and publisher, but mostly the video game audience, I thought of re-uploading it and thankfully found…
