Bog-Standard Shooters: Suddenly Nice to Have

Gamefly is currently sending me John Woo Presents: Stranglehold. I’m excited. I mean, I don’t have any good reason to be. The game was, at best, a competent but not all that wonderful shooter. I’m sure there will be bad guys, and I’m sure I will use a variety of guns and bullet-time (excuse me, […]

One Last Round of Let’s Plays…

Okay, so at this point, school has started back up again, but dammit, I read like a million let’s plays over break, and they’re all fun, so I wanted to share them all. So here’s two more to read if you’re bored. This is the sort of Let’s Play I’d love to write. I love […]

Plunder bunny! Snoogie dumpling!

Okay, I finished it. It is complete. I finished Tales of Monkey Island now. ARE YOU HAPPY, BENJAMIN ESSNER? ARE YOU? But no, it was fun. Rise of a Pirate God was a decent episode. I dare say it didn’t have nearly enough humor, though. The entire thing was so steeped in “drama” that there […]

Fuck you, March.

I hate March, and I hate every game developer releasing a game in March. Seriously, why are you doing this to me? Let’s run down the games that there is no way I’m not buying that come out in March. 1) Pokemon Heart Gold/ Soul Silver. I may have not beat a Pokemon game in […]

Knee Deep In This Puzzle Shit: Trial of the Century-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

“Insert Review of The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood here.” Okay, note I left for myself, I suppose I will. Basically, I can’t help but wonder how this episode would have affected me if I didn’t know about the fifth episode ahead of time. I could totally see there being a weird pang in […]

You can’t race with explosions: a cautionary tale.

Can you tell I’ve been doing nothing but watching and reading Let’s Plays over my break? Because that’s totally what I’ve been doing. And that means I totally have to make sure you’re aware of the more awesome ones, and by far, the most awesome Let’s Play I have encountered in a long while is […]

Knee Deep In This Puzzle Shit: I like it hot and spicy. That is satisfactory.

Rolling on and rolling on, I finished off Lair of the Leviathan, the third part of the three parts of the quintet of parts that make up Tales of Monkey Island. There are some odd decisions being made all around this game. The entire setup of LeFlay as a romantic interest of sorts is just […]

I kiss girls all the time, and other play-lets.

Sometimes, there is a game so passable, so strongly mediocre, that you would never play it. However, sometimes this game is so full of yuri undertones that you just cannot help but grin and scheme while searching for maximum awkward. At the same time, do you really want to play that game? Well, that’s what […]

Knee Deep In This Puzzle Shit: Kiss them either way, I say. Kissing is awesome.

As promised, I actually played another Tales of Monkey Island episode! We can pretend that Ben’s constant asking me about it for months paid off! It’ll make him feel special, maybe. In any case, moving right along from the first episode, I played the Siege of Spinner Cay, where there was a siege, sort of, […]

Backloggery, which I refuse to acknowledge.

A few nights ago, I had an issue. I wanted to play a vidjeo game in bed, but I had no such vidjeo game! Yes, I had nothing new on the DS. I didn’t know what to pop in and fiddle around with. I’ll be honest, I was jonesing to try Might and Magic: Clash […]
