There are plenty of questionable design decisions in Army of Two: The 40th Day. The controls, for example, are absolutely perplexing, and do nothing but frustrate. You can’t switch weapons when close to your teammate, for example, because the same button that switches weapons starts a game of Rock Paper Scissors, which is obviously more […]
This is my 1000th Bloeg since I moved to this new server and such. Holy fuck. I just had to say that. I mean, seriously, 1000 posts. If I were to take the time to look backwards, over what I have written, shit, I have books upon books of completely useless ramblings about video games […]
Mafia started again, and I’m playing again! This put my mind squarely in Mafia territory, and I found myself working on a set of Mafia rules while I went about and did my thing this evening. Here’s an attempt to get them down in a first draft. When/If I actually present it, I am going […]
Sure, Tiny Wings is all well and good, but the game I’ve seriously been putting a long time into on my iPod is Battleheart. This is a game you have to buy. Battleheart is a strange mix of brawler and RTS that works perfectly on the iPod. You build a party of 4 different characters, […]
The carpet in the upstairs is being replaced! That means you get reviews of iPhone games! That makes sense right? I think so? Something like that. Anyway, the game that is currently ALL THE RAGE is Tiny Wings, and because I am perfectly weak to cute, as much as anyone else, I did pick it […]

Instead of the vast amounts of entertaining and uplifting television that will make me laugh and smile, I have, instead, been watching Puella Magi Madoka Magicka. I think about to when I would buy so much manga, and I was so into the animes and the various things that are just like them. I think […]
While I am incredibly bad at it, Settlers of America: Trails to Rails is a pretty cool game. It’s also very impressive in how it is completely accurate to the game it is based on, and yet plays completely and utterly different in actual execution. In general, the game seems very similar to Catan. You […]
Today I got fitted for glasses. (Is that the term? Fitted for glasses?) In doing this, juice was dripped into my eyes to dilate my pupils to make sure the doctor knew what was up. What then followed was like 2 hours of me not being able to see well enough to read. Holy shit, […]
I really debated whether or not I wanted to write about this, but I couldn’t stop thinking about things I wanted to say about it, so we’ll go ahead and talk about Flexible Survival. Flexible Survival is an Interactive Fiction game. It has some RPG elements, and one of the main mechanics is attempting to […]
