Ladies and gentlemen, on September 13, 2012, PlatinumGames announced a sequel to the beloved action-packed-hack and slash-videogame Bayonetta ! Yes, I can see you are delighted ! But I have more exciting news! It's an exclusive! To the Wii-U ! Yeah! ...Wait, what?! Yes, fellow gamers, it seems that Bayonetta 2 would not be in existence if it hadn't been for Nintendo offering to publish the game...
After playing Devil May Cry 4 , I wasn't looking forward to hear about DMC5 being in the works. I was hoping that eventually they would decide to leave the DMC franchise alone, because it was entirely clear that Capcom had no idea what direction to take it in. DMC4 was riddled with plot holes, and Capcom was doing their best to not even hint at tying the story to DMC2. The plot has never been a...
Remaking Final Fantasy VII My thoughts on a remake of the beloved JRPG of 1997. Cloud from FFVII PS3 Tech Demo I remember the first time I saw the PS3 tech demo of Final Fantasy VII , during E3 2005. Embarrassingly I admit, I didn't even see the entire video until later on because I was so excited I was jumping and screaming around the house, until of course I realized it was just a demonstrati...
2 videos in 1 blog, a double whammy, two birds with one stone -- Uh, I think you get the idea... Note: I'm still trying to find the right percentage of volume to use with my voice over and the background music. I think the music is a little too low (or my voice-over too loud) in the VJ review. I tried to balance it more in the VJ2 review. My apologies if it's too loud. Go-Go Santa Hat! Merry Ch...
This was sort of a test to see how well I could pull off a one-minute review. I may do all of my reviews with a time-limit of sixty seconds from now on, depending on feedback I get from this.
For my Psychology class, I had to write a research paper and give a five-minute presentation to the class highlighting some of my findings. My teacher did not require us to do a visual presentation, but I decided to do one because I think it's much easier to convey information that way...

Video Review: Sorry about the rough transitions in the later parts of the video. Had to cut a few frames in order to make the video under 10 minutes. Also, sorry if audio levels are too low/high. :S
[---^What do you think of the banner? Yay/Nay/Redundant? Make more for future blogs? I was inspired by SuperMooseman 's banners on his own blogs. :> --- ] Video Review: Sorry if the audio is a little too loud... Hope you all enjoy the ending, the audio clips are from Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4 . The song that plays was created by a song generator at http://www.sr.se/P1/src/sing/index.htm...

I posted this in the "Official Redesign thread," but I figured I'd make a blog post about it. Profile Mock-Up First off, I know the staff have been working very hard on this design and I'm sure they will be tweaking things that will make it better within the next few weeks. I just wanted to get a feel of what some things would look like if they were tweaked. Current Profile Mock-Up Profile. Ful...

The following is a response to April Carlson's blog post, "The Hardcore vs Casual Gamers Debate" Hardcore Versus Casual Gamers: Defining the undefined. What is a "casual" or "hardcore" gamer? Many people have their own definitions. Some define a "hardcore" player to be someone who has a certain level of skill and can stand on their own in a multiplayer game. Others see it as playing many games...
~ 2008 Wrap-Up ~ Unlike most people, I can't choose a favorite game. I like all my favorite games equally, so if I had to decide a game of the year, I would go crazy. So I don't, nor do I ever plan on having to, choose a "best game of [console]" or "game of the year" because I just can't! Instead, I'll highlight a few thoughts about some games this year, as well as give some personal thoughts o...
[Note: The audio sucks and I realized this too late... Blargh. I should use a robot voice in the future, it would work out way better. >:P Also I may have fudged some names, I had no idea how to pronounce the names of the two composers.

I re-recorded this a few times, but for some reason my voice still sounds unenthusiastic. Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't be doing video reviews. I just don't have a good narrating voice. I apologize if the audio is too low or too loud at certain points. Any feedback is appreciated, even if you think it sucks, do tell! Thank you!

With the recent delay of LittleBigPlanet and the controversy over at GameSpot , I've been thinking... Will cases of people being offended by something affect the future of gaming, perhaps even other mediums, and possibly cause censorship to creativity?
