I'm a long time fan of GB and one of my main hobbies is 3D printing. I was inspired by Blight Club so I spent part of the weekend modeling and printing my take on everyone's favorite Overblood character: Pipo. With 30+ parts and custom friction pads in the hinges he is able to be posed in a variety of positions. In his normal stance he stands at around 15 inches but if he stretches out he can r...

It’s not hard to understand why retail traders would want to enter the world of quantitative trading . The data-driven approach used in quant trading reduces the risks that can arise when emotional biases influence a trader’s behavior, and its capability for algorithm-driven automatic execution gives traders an edge by adding speed and precision to the process. But getting access to quantitativ...

Still floored Dan chose to play this of own volition. All that cooking really has given him an improved sense of taste. Though we've arguably seen many equally strong years for games since, I still find myself holding a candle for the superlative release schedule of 2017 and its particular focus on many of my favorite game series, including Ys , Xenoblade , Yakuza/Like a Dragon , Nier , Trails...

Well, another Community Endurance Run is in the books, and I participated in it for the first time. I was extremely nervous for a number of reasons, most of them having to do with worrying that I would fuck something up in OBS and the stream would have no audio or video or something and I wouldn’t notice. Or worse still, that I would get hung up on some level and get angry and miserable and nev...

This is running a little later than anticipated. When I originally had this idea, it was March 19th. Admittedly, that was still a little late for Mario Day but at least it was close. Then life happened, vacation happened and it got away from me. But later is better than never, and Mario games are timeless, so we’ll forge ahead. I do need to get a few things out of the way before we get to the l...

The Dredge is soon upon us! That's right, for April '25 I'm bringing back the fan-favorite and world-renowned retro gaming (or close enough) feature The Dredge of Seventeen , wherein I continue to see what other hidden treasures were lost in the hustle and bustle that was 2017. If you recall, 2017 was a year when we were all bracing ourselves for the many economically devastating antics that th...

Preamble It's that time of the year again! This blog is later than it should be, but better late than never. As you may have heard, this weekend will mark the start of the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run, a Spring charity event hosted entirely by the Giant Bomb community. For a while now, I have been one of the streamers leading the charge to try and raise as much money towards charitable ca...

The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise has been a cornerstone of mecha culture for over four decades, influencing anime, film, merchandise, and, most importantly, video games . What began as a military science fiction anime series in 1979 evolved into a multi-billion-dollar franchise spanning diverse media formats. Gundam’s deep lore, innovative mobile suit designs, and gripping war narratives have n...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nightdive Studios are doing good work in terms of preserving obscure titles from the past that have been neglected by inaccessibility. And with the upcoming System Shock 2 remaster coming out this June, they have expressed interest in reviving 7th generation titles. With this recent news, there are several games from the 360 / PS3 era I think would be...

He wants to help the children This was kind of an inevitability, I think. I can’t just be making all these damn posts about DOOM and how I think I might be pretty good at DOOM without eventually having to go prove it. I’m not gonna do it for free though – your boy isn’t easy . So we’re going to do it for the kids. Specifically, we’re going to do it for Pencils of Promise , as a part of the Gian...

From Triforces to Trifox es, I'm moving on from Zeldersatzes this week to play... a top-down action-adventure game. Oh. Well, this one has a few significant differences from everyone's favorite Elf Boy in Trouble series (that you can play in public anyway) by instead sitting somewhere between a Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank in the great pantheon of anthro platformers. The... panthroeon. I...

As with Monster Hunter Wilds, this is game that I don't feel like I have my usual novella's worth of material to say about, but I still feel compelled to at least try. I've written so much about this series over the years, and at a point another one of these games is kind of just...another one of these games. So, what's there to write about? I already covered the nostalgia angle extensively las...

Hi everybody, you know what’s wild? I have been participating in the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run for 10 years! I never thought that when I decided to help out with this yearly event in 2015 that I would end up continuing to do so for a literal decade but I have no regrets. Last year thanks to people like you I was able to raise $ 335.00 dollars for Feed the Children. Which meant an addit...

Many players struggle with balancing experience rates, profitable loot, and survivability, which can slow down their growth.

Oh no, he's doing it again. ****** Max Payne (Finished) Max Payne remains technically impressive, if nothing else. Hardcore Gaming 101 recently did a podcast episode on Max Payne, which reminded me that I had a half finished save file on my Xbox. So I’ve gone back and finished a game that I wasn’t particularly enjoying already. Final take? It’s just okay. It’s interesting to go back to pre-San...
