Out at my parents’ in the countryside with this happy pup. Figuring out the future and trying to unwind.
The artist from Perfect Gold did this adorable wallpaper for Pride month, and I'm in love with it.
I finished Sonic Forces and I didn't hate it. It wasn't great, but after playing through Sonic '06, my expectations were extremely low. I just hated it whenever anyone would open their mouth.
Got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and I can already feel my DNA speaking to me. We are. We are. We are.
Chicory: A Colorful Tale is out next week. To prepare you, I've dug up this advice for aspiring artists.
Wonder Boy is a bit of a wonderful mess. The series never seems to stick to one style, developer, or nomenclature. Here we have a remake of Monster World IV, which is a sequel to Wonder Boy in Monster World, or, as it’s known in Japan...
Important news bulletin: They added wave-based Co-op to Chex Quest HD.
This may sound peculiar, but I don’t necessarily pick games for this column and expect to hate them. Spelunker, for example, I legitimately like, despite its reputation. So I went into Sonic the Hedgehog ‘06 with a little bit of...
The open-world genre gives me hesitation these days; it’s almost a bad word. I blame Ubisoft. Not another waypoint! Not another tower to climb! Not another cathedral to parkour through! I’ll get to the main plot soon, I promise!...
Cancelled my Series X order. I'd like to say that it's because of financial responsibility, but really, I looked further into its backwards compatibility and was crushingly disappointed.
The world of the Shadowrun tabletop RPG is the best, stupidest, most tantalizing mash-up ever. High fantasy meets cyberpunk. Elves, mages, and dragons, all mixed amongst political turmoil and megacorporate conspiracies. I get goosebumps ju...
Both my Xbox classic and Xbox 360 have decided they don't want to read discs anymore. If this is an attempt by Microsoft get me to buy a Series X, the jokes on them; even if I could find one, I couldn't afford it.
Nineteen ninety-five was a rough time for games. The market was transitioning to 3D graphics, and there was a lot to figure out. To prove this, you need only look at the earliest PlayStation games; the ones that came in those ugly cardboard...
For Famicom Friday, I cover a lot of obscure titles because I find it more fulfilling than regurgitating games that people have more likely heard of, but the downside is that the cream usually rises to the top. Often, you haven’t hear...
I don't know why I even bothered trying to play Doom Eternal on console. I'm enjoying it much more on PC.
It was pouring down rain on Akihabara. The girls dressed as maids had an extra layer of transparent raincoat on, and I was happy to find that basically every shop carries cheap, plastic umbrellas for 500 yen. I was exhausted after a two-wee...
The announcement of GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon caught me off guard. It’s like running into your human wreckage of an ex. You thought all they did was gamble away their money constantly, but here they are talking about their new job li...
Does Duke Nukem Forever really need an introduction? It was announced before I hit puberty. It spent 15 years in development hell, becoming legendary for its protracted development time. Every few years, another tease would come out, saying...
Oh, don't mind me, just downloading 100GB of Mass Effect.
We’ve been friends for a while now, right? And after all these Famicom articles, you’re probably thinking, “gee, that lady sure does know Japanese.” That’s not true. My Japanese can best be described as existen...
One particular facet of video games that has always fascinated me is games where you attempt to make someone happy. I don’t just mean rescuing the princess at the end of a campaign of violence, I’m talking specifically about gam...
Do you remember the film The Adventures of Milo and Otis? I don’t. It was based on a 1986 Japanese film called Koneko Monogatari. It’s not bad, I guess, if you think you can trust critics. It’s about a kitten getting lost ...
My interest in romantic fiction really only blossomed after I was married. That may sound a bit backwards, but I always found romance while you’re alone and single to be a bit like eating a big bag of pizza rolls. Your brain may tell ...
Nice...
