A few days ago, I finally played through all of Alien Swarm, the free co-op game that Valve put out that involved shooting a bunch of aliens. BUT WAS IT WORTH THE COST? Oh yes. Completely. I would have easily paid 10 bucks for this game, although in that case, perhaps a few more missions […]
We drafted Magic 2011, the 12th edition that comes out in 2010 today. In a surprising upset, Jonathan was the complete loser, and everyone else tied for first. (This is the problem with a four-person Round Robin tournament, though it’s not like we particularly care.) Everyone actually had a really well-done deck this time, even […]
When I dream, which doesn’t happen often, it’s normally narrative. What I mean by that is, oftentimes when I dream I understand that I am the narrator of a story, and I keep the story going in a way that makes sense for the characters, whether it be people I know, or some random shit […]
Harmony of Despair, or High of Definition if you’re so inclined, is a lot of fun. This is despite how poorly put together it is. Basically, you gather five other people, who pick a Castlevania protagonist, and then run through stages together in a sort of boss rush. The whole thing is timed, so using […]
I’ve been playing Persona 3 Portable, so I was once again struck by the most amazing of battle themes. No, not Mass Destruction. After the Battle, the fight victory music. Maybe this sounds weird, but this is by far my favorite bit of music in the game. Give it a listen while I ramble about […]
I don’t have anything interesting to say, so you get to hear about a dream instead. I was some sort of wizard or witch, and I was being held captive in a castle and forced to work. I couldn’t remember anything about where I came from or what I was doing there. It was some […]
I’ve been watching Spoony’s Wrestling Rants pretty religiously since he started them. The question is, why am I doing this? I have never, ever followed wrestling. I mean, I think I remember being sort of interested for an extremely short while as a child? At the very least, I know I went to see some […]
I’m like “You know what gamez are fun to play with peoples who maybe don’t know so much about games? Rail shooters.” So I used my awesome Gamefly powers to Gamefly up a copy of Dead Space: Extraction for my Nintendo Wii. We played it for an hour or two, and then I sent it […]
The thing that really kept me going through most of Dragon Quest 9, though, was the story. Now, one might thing one can’t have a super-deep story with a party of completely created people. I agree that this is a challenge of sorts. Having that character customization is important to the gameplay, but you can’t […]
Apparently my server is going crazy! People are trying to fix it and such, but who knows when things will be working. I’m told I’m posting this in a small window of working-ness. If you’re seeing this, things didn’t get working in time for me to finishing writing a blog for today. I know you […]
