Looks like Cold Steel IV finally has a release date on PC and is coming out on April 9th. Now the PC peeps can finally experience my GotY of 2020. It's a baller of a time, you only need to play 400 hours of RPGs to get the most out of it!
I've been playing Thief 2014 and I wasn't expecting the first damn newspaper to talk about how stopping a plague is everyone's responsibility and that both the sick and healthy should adhere to curfew. This is not how I want life to imitate art.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is a game that plays into the American fantasy of using your rugged individuality to pay off your medical bills. There's a concept for a game with some cultural staying power.
The internet continues to bring about the weirdest of things. Never would I have expected this to exist.
So, uhh, if anyone wants to read a good 4000 words about my backlog digging, you can do that over at the cblogs. If not, may I suggest you listen to this random piece of the Zwei 2 OST?
I don't know about you, but I'm gonna collapse into my bed watching/listening to this translation of the Trails in the Sky drama CD. One can never have too many shenanigans involving Estelle and Tita.
Seeing Dark Souls with balanced mechanics and actually cool spells combined with Halo maps is a sight for sore eyes. I love From for what they do, but they are awful at balancing. I'd tell them to hire this man, but I think the Halo devs need him more.
I need to get through the Yakuza Collection and replay 5. This song is fire!
Going through Ace Attorney 1 again reminded my just how much the series styles all over other VNs. The animations add a lot, the music is great, it's consistently funny and even has gameplay. The trilogy port is such a good package.
Thanks to a lazy Google search I accidentally found out that Gant is a brand that sells swimming trunks. And now I can only assume that was the intended pun of the swimming-infatuated Ace Attorney character. I love this stupid series.
Alpha Protocol is some goofy bullshit. It exists in the middle ground between Spy Fiction and Metal Gear and it has thrown me for a loop with how cheap yet functional it feels. Micael Bell is a supporting character though, which is always nice.
