*Stained guy voice* It’s been awhile. Seriously though, why am I writing this? As you can see by the date of my last blog, it's been a minute. While I never fully went away, I'm definitely a lapsed participant in this corner of the gaming sphere. This is an attempt to shake the dust off and get this thing going again. OK, I think a quick rundown of what I've been up to is a good place to start....
Like Neuromancer, but with Pizza. Wow. It looks like I haven't posted anything since the beginning of the year. I started a lot of stuff, but never was able to stick with it. Oh well, I'm just glad to finally have something to write about. Anyway, where do I start? The entire month of September was spent with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and I've been in a rather exhausted state ever si...
Another one bites the digital dust. Transistor is done. I do plan on doing New Game+ but just not quite yet. I found the overall experience enjoyable, but there were some parts of the game that I'm still struggling to figure out how I feel about them. Better Red than dead. I guess I'll start with what I liked about Transistor. On an aesthetic level it was very striking. The “cyber Gilded-Age” v...
Exactly how Fez made me feel. Fez broke me. Actually, it didn't really break me, I just realized I had finally reached my limits. I don't recall what initially drew me to Fez. It just looked like another platformer. Vaguely, I was aware of their being some whole other layer to the game. But, I truly had no idea what I was in for. First of all; I really liked how the game was so relaxed and mell...
It has been quite some time since I last played a Halo game. Actually, not since Halo 2. It was due to the Master Chief Collection Quick Look and Drews unbridled enthusiasm that compelled me to finally do some catching up. So I started Halo 3: ODST. While I enjoyed the adventures of Master Chief in the past, I was always intrigued by ODST. I did it all for the Rookie. As far as military sci-fi...
Part 1. System Shock 2 For several years I have heard of System Shock 2 referred to as a hallmark of PC gaming. Now I know why people have spoken of it so highly. Long before being dropped into the sunken ruins of Rapture, Irrational Games set their sights on the cold terror of interstellar space. Having already played through Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite, I thought I knew what to expect from...
Oh hey, is this thing on? So I guess this is my first blog entry, whatever, let's talk about games. My first order of business is to announce that I now have a reason to write! Today marks a momentous occasion in my gaming career. I have finally finished Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4! My total playtime was close to 150 hours, except that was over the course of nearly two years. It certainly was...
