The Shape of Punk To Come is a landmark album for me. It’s one of the only modern screamo/hardcore bands I still listen to. I got into it hard when I was like 14, and it led me to dope stuff like Wire, Minor Threat, and Fugazi. I owe this album a lot.
This edition of Bloggers Wanted is going to be focused on video game “families.” We’re steamrolling ever-closer to Thanksgiving and then onto the hell month that is December, culminating in yet another reason (aka Christma...
Guildlings is a game that just launched on Apple Arcade, and it’s got a whole lot going for it. Through a mixture of RPG, point-and-click, and visual novel mechanics, it tells the story of a young girl who gets her first phone. Only, ...
I’ve probably posted this here before, and I will almost definitely post this here again, but Magic Sam is just stupid fucking good.
The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game is goofy and delightful in all the right ways. It’s a short experience, at just about an hour long, but the length is perfect for the story it’s trying to tell. I loved it at release, bu...
Does anyone here want a steam key for Frog Detective? It’s super short but wholesome and good.
I spent Halloween getting wasted with friends, and this is the aftermath...
If you’re looking for something a bit different to watch for Halloween, The Battery is really solid. Dudeman starred in, wrote, directed, and filmed the whole thing himself for around $10,000. It has some flaws, but the payoff is 100% worth it.
This whole record is really neat. Probably the closest thing to a proper successor to the R&B throne since D’Angelo.
The Carrion demo that released today is really rad, and y’all should check it out.
“One For All 1,000,000% Delaware Detroit Smash” is a perfectly normal, and not at all obtuse, name for a special move, and I love it.
The Clean is one of my favorite bands of all time. Buncha dorks from New Zealand making goofy indie rock. They’re rough around the edges, poppy tunes with a DIY punk attitude, but it hits hard for me. Rings “true.”
My band just recorded a song with the lyrics: “There’s a dildo in the park, I don’t know why. (x2) It’s just lying in the grass. Might’ve been in someone’s ass. There’s a dildo in the park, I don’t know why.”
I just finished a blog about NieR: Automata that I’ve been intending to write for about a year now. It goes live at 10am EST tomorrow.
Link’s Awakening is really cute and good.
WHAT THE GOLF? is amazing, and all of y’all should fucking play it.
Y’all probably don’t realize it, but Eric Weichhart is the fucking man, and he’s been helping behind the scenes here for a long time as a member of staff. Master of goofy photoshops and brightening days. He’s really good people.
It looks like we’ll be working on a new version of the cblog editor in the near future. I’ve been charged with reaching out and seeing if y’all have any suggestions for possible features or fixes you’d like to see. Lay ‘em on me, folks!
The best part about Link’s Awakening is that the entire game is on the cartridge. No day one update or any of that BS. No waiting for an install either. You just snap the game in, and you’re playing. I fucking love that.
I just started watching My Hero Academia for the first time. I’m only five episodes deep, but this dude is 100% my favorite so far!
Y'all might not have noticed, but the sidebar is finally fixed! Thank Sam! He's part of the tech team, and he's da man! (You can now click on cblogs via the sidebar and images load properly! Baby steps!) If anything else is acting funky, hit me up here!
I just finished The Final Test of the tutorial in Hitman: The Complete First Season, and it was dope as fuck, but now I have to wait 20 minutes for the rest of the game to download... with a physical copy of the game.... The future is now.....
Shoutout to Bong264, PatBateman17, and LaTerry for always being super rad! (The rest of y’all are chumps tho...)
Celeste originally released in January of 2018 to almost resounding critical praise, and today, its final batch of DLC is dropping in the form of Chapter 9. I’ve always considered myself pretty decent at twitch platformers, but these ...
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS NieR: Automata is not the type of game to rely on obvious answers. In fact, almost everything from side stories to character motivations are left with endings just vague enough to be open for interpretatio...
