All reviewsPathologic 22019
4 out of 5 starsThese guys exist outside the narrative, as sort of behind-the-scenes playactors. Pathologic 2 is a game about struggle. Ice-Pick Lodge, the developer, wants you to feel like you’re actually trying to survive in an isolated town plagued by a mysterious disease, supplies dwindling every day and never enough time to accomplish everything you need to do. Your health and stomach drain with a brutal, uncaring rapidity.…
Rakuen2017
5 out of 5 starsMorizora, the slumbering guardian of the forest. Laura Shigihara is probably not a name you know. While she was the composer of the original Plants vs Zombies and contributed tracks to Super Meat Boy, she’s probably best known for her work on To The Moon, most notably her vocals on the main track, Everything’s Alright. This is where I first discovered her. Hearing that song at the end of To The Moon was a huge…
The Hex2018
4 out of 5 starsThe call that sets everything into motion. The 2010s brought a number of new trends to gaming--battle royales, roguelikes, Souls-likes--but one of my favorites is the meta-game. Games like The Stanley Parable, Frog Fractions, and Undertale subvert my long-rooted expectations as a gamer and force me to actually think about the worlds of the games I explore as if they are real worlds that can exist outside the…
Devotion2019
5 out of 5 starsThe apartment where most of Devotion takes place. How does one write a review for a game that can’t be purchased anymore? As you may or may not know, Devotion was pulled from sale by developer Red Candle Games after a minor controversy arose around an art asset found in the game (more details on this below). As such, I’m now attempting to recommend something to those few who already own Devotion and can just play it…

All articlesMy Top 10 Korean Songs of 2021
Dec 30, 2021
2021 has ended and I’m back with yet another Top 10 list for the year. I don’t really have any pithy comments or things I want to say about this year. I’m a tad bit sick and dreading working over New Year’s, so I’m just going to keep the intro short this year. The one thing I will mention is I somehow ended up with nearly half a list of songs sung entirely in English, which was not my intention...
My Top 10 Japanese Songs of 2021
Dec 30, 2021
Here we are at the end of yet another year of Japanese music. I normally go into some detail about the year as a whole or my process of putting this list together, but those feel a bit trite at this point and I don’t really have much to say. I’ll just say here are my Top 10 Japanese songs of 2021 and I hope you enjoy them! Feel free to comment or share anything you liked from the year too! 10....
My Top 10 Korean Songs of 2020
Dec 15, 2020
2020 has concluded (finally…) and it’s time to take a look at its best Korean songs. This year’s list came together with surprising ease, despite how many times I thought over the last twelve months “man, there aren’t really any amazing bangers for this year yet.” Nearly every song on the list was on my tentative playlist within a day or two after hearing it. When it came time to refine and ord...
My Top 10 Japanese Songs of 2020
Dec 15, 2020
Another year of Japanese music has concluded! My list for this year took a weird journey. I’ve been adding stuff to a tentative playlist all year in order to keep up with things I liked and have an easy way to listen to them again and again. This list looked very different before December. As I started the refinement process, I ended up throwing out a good chunk of stuff I thought was a lock an...
My Top 10 Korean Songs of 2019
Jan 5, 2020
Another year, another Top 10! While I know that very few people care about these lists, particularly the Korean ones, I still enjoy taking the time to reflect on the past year of music and determine which songs I felt the strongest about. It gives those songs more importance to me in the future and makes returning to them even years down the line very nostalgic. 2019 was another one of those ye...
My Top 10 Japanese Songs of 2019
Jan 5, 2020
2019 was a pretty damn good year for Japanese music. It started strong and just kept going with solid hit after solid hit from artists both new and old. Even just a few months in, there were so many great songs I was worried I’d have a hard time putting my list together in December. While there were some difficulties, mainly in nailing down the bottom few songs, this year’s list was actually mu...
