All reviewsUnder Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r]2020
4 out of 5 starsUnder Night In-Birth’s gradual progress throughout the 2010 decade has been a marvel to witness and one of the more underrated success stories for developer Soft Circle French Bread. Each iteration of the game gradually improved the game’s quality and grew a strong audience which built up to UNIST’s entry as a main card game at 2019’s Evolution Championship Series. Taking advantage of UNIST’s peak popularity, French…
Wild Guns Reloaded2016
3 out of 5 starsWild Guns Reloaded joins in a number of games from the older video game generations to get the remaster treatment. Unlike many other remastered releases where the game receives mostly visual and some minor under the hood improvements, Wild Gun Reloaded goes beyond by adding in new characters, new stages, and a re-done soundtrack. On one hand, it’s great that the developers went above and beyond the usual remaster…
Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st]2015
5 out of 5 starsUnder Night In-Birth Exe:Late skyrocketed as one of my favorite recent fighting games with its excellent concoction of classic 2D pace, anime fighting game-esque mechanics, and a varied cast with identifiable fighting styles. UNIEL shined in spite of my poor play, missing some key typical fighting game modes such as a tutorial and character combo missions, and boring game package presentation. I played the hell out…
The Last Blade 21998
2 out of 5 starsThe Last Blade 2 isn’t a game that is fondly remembered amongst the memorable library of SNK’s fighting games, but it does have a strong cult following due to what it provides in and around its core fighting gameplay. It’s one of the few fighting games that excels well in multiple aspects: excellent all-around production and presentation, strong emotional undercurrent of uncertainty and despair, and memorable…

Aug 11, 2024
Visited: August 6, 2024 Location: 22 South Street, Morristown, NJ I debated when I recently went up for a three day stay at Parsippany, NJ to make the trek over to Morristown to visit a game and pinball place that Jeff Bakalar mentioned on a Bombcast within the past year or so. The opportunity came when my supervisor decided to let me go from the office at around 6 PM. After checking into the n...
2020 Gaming Side Notes
Feb 28, 2021
I wanted to write and publish this to coincide with my GOTY 2020 list but the constant pressure of working from home has made me postpone writing this blog until now. Here are a few interesting personal side gaming notes I wanted to spill my thoughts out in regarding to my gaming habits last year. Focus on Shorter and Plug and Play Games The shift to working from home oddly had a detrimental ef...
A Look Back - Experiences and Thoughts of Gaming Through the 2010 Decade
Feb 15, 2020
Hello and thank you for taking your time to read this blog entry about my experiences and thoughts of gaming in the 2010 decade. ACCOMPLISHMENTS! Playing and Finishing So Many Games Despite being worked to the bone over the decade, I managed to play and finish so many games. Finishing over 100 games of varying lengths is no small feat though it’s been hard to see that as a major accomplishment...
Just for One Year - Ode to UNIST's EVO 2019 Featured Title Inclusion
May 12, 2019
February 26, 2019, 10 PM Eastern Many fighting game fans probably tuned into EVO’s Twitch stream to see which fighting games would be announced as one of the main showcase games for this year’s EVO tournament. Unlike previous years where they stretched out announcing titles for shenanigans and such, Mr Wizard and Markman played it straight and announced nine games straight through. Much of the...
Versus Anxiety Post 3 - Has Anxiety Affected My Enjoyment of Video Games?
May 5, 2019
I rarely played any video games during the stretch where I was overcome with anxiety throughout the day. I briefly played a couple of games here and there during this stretch, but playing video games did not cross my mind as an option to help ease anxiety. The few occasions I did play video games in this stretch did help get my mind be able to escape the constant anxiety barrage that I was cons...
Versus Anxiety Post 2 - Anxiety as an Ally
May 5, 2019
I didn’t know if I was going to find effective anxiety relief advice as I decided to read Dan Ryckert’s novel on his trials living with this condition. While I was a bit disappointed that Dan didn’t go in depth into particular aspects on his anxiety recovery efforts, I still got a lot out of reading his novel. For one, I felt at ease that I wasn’t the only one who experienced anxiety and panic...
