All reviewsLife of Pixel2013
4 out of 5 starsInitial impressions, revised: This is another in a long line of feel-good, reverent throwbacks to my gaming childhood: a 2D platformer designed in the aesthetic of several 80s-90s-era, 8 and 16-bit video game consoles, including personal computers of the era. You play a green pixel, appropriately named Pixel, who's fed up with being one in millions on the screens of the latest and greatest AAA titles. Pixel wants to…
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas2004
3 out of 5 starsFrankly, GTA: San Andreas is the game which got me interested in the franchise. Extremely well-written, expansive, innovative and incredibly fun. CJ is one of the strongest characters Rockstar has ever developed, along with the rest of the character list. The voice acting is incredibly well-done, the music selection is (or was) second only to GTA: Vice City in my opinion. The variety of things you can do in this…
Spacebase DF-92012
2 out of 5 starsFrankly, avoid this game. I bought into the Early Access alpha version of this game because at the time I looked forward to the initial concept of the game as advertised and had faith in Double Fine, developers notorious for several well-received cult classics including Psychonauts and Brutal Legend (controversial but in my opinion a very underrated game), to complete it on-schedule and more or less in a finished…
DCS World2013
5 out of 5 starsI am not an expert on flight simulators by any stretch of the imagination, so fair warning, I may be naive or ignorant in my assessment of this game. That said, by far I believe DCS World, and what I have seen of its addons including DCS: A-10C Warthog, to be the most comprehensive and realistic modern combat flight simulator series I have ever seen. Many thanks to the developers for making the base game available…

May 23, 2024
I'm not sure how to start this one after 8 objectively eventful years, domestically, nationally, globally, and with respect to the site. I'm home now, trying to pivot to something else after a very stressful enlistment which changed my personality and life a lot. Almost didn't make it back. Some of my friends didn't, some family didn't. One of the things which gave me a lot of comfort back in t...
Gaming Collection
Feb 23, 2016
Updating this as it changes, staying contrary to how I typically mouth off on projects I don't actually undertake. Originally posted as a note on my Facebook page. My ultimate goal is to have all common consoles arranged in a format which will allow me to switch TV input over to them... I call it my gaming octopus... or perhaps a gaming squid. Probably a pretty lofty goal to have, but one can d...
Reflections on childhood and Satoru Iwata-san's influence on the same
Jul 20, 2015
This is a repost of a comment I made on the GB news article regarding the passing of the late Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, on July 12, 2015. The page in question is linked here . I figured I'd save it for an actual blog post since it's probably the most personal description of my childhood memories I've ever posted on here... and probably anywhere else gaming-related. Hope you enjoy it, or...
