“Fens are an important and unique wetland type. Fens are peat-forming wetlands that rely on groundwater input and require thousands of years to develop and cannot easily be restored once destroyed. Fens are also hotspots of biodiversity. They often are home to rare plants, insects, and small mammals. Larger animals like deer and livestock graze in this type of wetland. Fens are valuable to huma...

Last week, we looked at the March 1996 Saturn releases of Winning Post , Revolution X , D , Criticom , Battle Arena Toshinden Remix , Magic Carpet , Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge , and Congo: The Movie: The Lost City of Zinj .

I realize everyone and their super hot moms have played Superhot or at least are aware of what it brings to the FPS table, but half the reason I do this feature is for an excuse to play the Indies I ought to have already played. In this case, I have tried Superhot before: according to my Steam achievements, I got about halfway through the story mode before bailing sometime in 2019 because even...

If a trial court makes a decision that you find unsatisfactory, you may be able to appeal it. This takes place before a panel of appellate judges. An appeal attorney is a specialist in the appellate process and can ensure that your case is properly handled. They are also good writers, having been trained to prepare briefing and oral arguments that can convince appellate judges to reverse the lo...

Ahhh, it's great to be back prowling the seedy streets of Sega CD City. Last one of these we did covered December 1992's octet of Sega CD games to finish off that year, and to get us caught up with where regular Mega Archive is presently on hold we're going to push through and examine all twelve Sega CD games that released in the first four months of 1993. The next Mega Archive CD will pop up s...

It's been two weeks. I have become premium...but for how long? How long until they realize I can't be trusted with this title? The weight of the world is on my shoulders now, and people are looking to me for answers. One wrong move and they'll send me back to alcatraz. I won't let that happen. Vodka. /blog

Maybe it was a sign of things to come , because at first, SD Gundam G Generations Cross Rays was announced for Asia only, with a SEA version with English support, cut to some time later and here it is on the west and in Steam too. A bit more time later and Super Robot Wars 30 would get a worldwide release, which was an even bigger surprise. And who knows, maybe my hopes for Idolmaster Starlit S...

On this, the second installment of a series that I did not conceptualize as a series until literally as I was posting the previous one and didn't have a good title for the blog, I'm writing about Severed Steel. Basically it's an excuse for me to write about games that aren't quite new releases, and where I get the feeling not as many people played as they should have. So, what is Severed Steel?...

There are developers that stretch their wings and try a bunch of different projects, as if they feel too restless settling in one genre or franchise for too long. Then you have developers like Frictional Games , which make the same game over and over again but get really good at it. For as dismissive as I sound, I can't begrudge finding one's niche and continuing to grow and enhance it every wh...

Super Mario 64 is one of my favorite games. I've covered it on this site several times, including this stage-by-stage deep dive into its world design, a peek at its randomizer hack , and most recently as the vanguard of my ongoing, self-destructive 64 in 64 feature. It's a game into which I've poured countless hours, to an extent that I had allowed myself to believe I had some level of mastery...

WARNING: THIS BLOG CONTAINS SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS PERTAINING TO PERSONA 3! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Preamble One of these games is not like the other.... If you were to press me on the matter, I'd cite Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 as my favorite in the franchise. However, I have given up trying to plead the case for the game. That's because I have a personal theory that everyone's favorite Persona...

There are some games where a bunch of flaws aren't enough to tarnish a shining core of imaginative storytelling and game design. I felt this way about Outer Wilds , and to a similar extent towards this week's game, Cradle , released all the way back in 2015 by the oddly-named Flying Cafe for Semianimals . In Cradle you wake up in a Mongolian yurt in the year 2076, having no memory of who you ar...

CAVES! We’re going into caves this time! No light! Damp rocks! Huge bats! Let’s GO! Cave Story I hope I don’t upset you by saying this, but Cave Story, the game that inspired every modern indie game and therefore transformed the entire industry, will be turning 20 next year. I had my own personal moment of crisis when I saw that my most recent Steam achievements in the game were from March of 2...
