All reviewsMarvel vs. Capcom: Infinite2017
3 out of 5 starsI can't say I've ever been much of a Marvel vs. Capcom person. The series' particular brand of insanity never much appealed to me, and whenever I would play it would be between friends who, like me, never had a great understanding of what they were doing. Then an opportunity to get a copy of the newest game in the series early arose, and I figured I'd give the series another go, especially with my recent resurgence…
Persona 52016
5 out of 5 starsI think it's important to say that I fucking love Persona. Persona 3 and 4 are up there with some of my favorite games ever, and I think that's important in order to contextualize my state of mind going into this game. Normally I genuinely try to level my expectations for any game I play, but with Persona 5 that was impossible. My longstanding relationship with the series coupled with being in love with every…
Paper Mario: Sticker Star2012
2 out of 5 starsThe first two Paper Mario games are two of my favorite games of all time, period. I still remember playing the original for the very first time on a hotel Nintendo 64 in Florida. My dad payed seven dollars so I could play the thing for an hour, and I remember getting to the Goomba King and having the time of my life. The sequel, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, is without a doubt in my mind my favorite Gamecube…
Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings2012
5 out of 5 starsI'm going to be completely honest here, I am not the biggest fan of Civilization V. I feel that they oversimplified a lot of it, and took out features that really had no need to be taken out. It didn't feel complete to me, and leaving out big civilizations such as the Mongols and the Spaniards just felt wrong to me when I first played it. Granted, they did ultimately release both as DLC, the Mongols for free even,…

All articlesHave you heard? It's Burnout Paradise
Jun 8, 2020
I've been playing Burnout Paradise Remastered, and somewhere along the line the act of tearing through those mostly empty streets dug up a cobweb covered tomb hidden in the recesses of my mind containing pure kernels of childhood gaming bliss. Feelings forgotten over more than a decade of "growing up," over college papers and coming to terms with a world which shrouds its intent behind doublesp...
Jon Bois Exposes an Existential Nightmare. Baron Davis From 89 Feet.
Feb 16, 2020
This is a piece responding to this short documentary about a remarkable basketball shot just under 20 years ago now (I JUST REALIZED THE 19th ANNIVERSARY OF THE GAME IT'S LITERALLY TOMORROW AS I'M WRITING I WANT TO DIE THIS ISN'T FUNNY GOD) it is a fantastic video that showcases how some things just really can't be measured or predicted by data and numbers. Jon presents the events far more eleg...
Nier Automata and Nietzsche
Feb 25, 2019
Hey folks, a few months ago I wrote this essay on Nier: Automata as a critique of Nietzschean philosophy (don't click away quite yet!). Sounds like some heady pretentious shit, and it is, but I had a lot of fun writing this and given that we just passed the two year anniversary of the game, I thought I would share it and get some thoughts from you kind folks! Obvious spoiler warning for the gam...
Gettin' Good at Guilty Gear Pt. 3: I won? Nice!
Jul 9, 2017
Hey y'all, it's been a hot minute, but I'm working several jobs this summer and there was a bit of a stretch where I wasn't really video gaming, but this past week I got back into the Guilty Gear Groove™ and decided to tell y'all about it. I also felt shitty every day I didn't play or make a post because I'm one of those people who tend to fall off of things they think they would dedicate mysel...
Gettin' Good at Guilty Gear Pt. 2: My First Wall
Jun 7, 2017
Hey y'all. A quick note before getting to the fighting games, I've yet to figure out how consistent this blog is going to be both in how often I'm going to be posting and how big the posts are going to be. Haven't really done this kinda thing before so I'm just gonna kind and go with the flow and see what happens. That also goes for when I'm streaming my journey, which again to shamelessly plug...
Gettin' Good at Guilty Gear Pt. 1
Jun 2, 2017
I've been a big fan of fighting games for a while now. It started with Smash Bros. Melee--the validity of its status as a fighting game notwithstanding--and gradually grew from there with me getting kind of into Ultra Street Fighter IV and many older fighting games. This mostly consisted of me messing around with friends, never really challenging myself to get really good at any game. Eventuall...
