It's like you start playing, then 300 turns later you check the time and go "oh christ!". I'm really enjoying it though. Some of the leaders are really fun, while some can be frustrating if you get the wrong map. For example Iroqoi have an advantge being near tons of Forest tiles, and if you are playing on the Island-type map you lose a LOT of that advantage because there are very limited fores...
We require more Vespene Gas. I was thinking about why I don't necessarily want to play Starcraft 2 all the time even though I think it's a great game. It is because of how formulaic some of the matches tend to be, mostly on a one-on-one basis. The best comparison I could come up with is that it is like taking an exam in school. Each match requires to you to essentially answer a bunch of questio...
I remember first seeing the trailer for this game a couple E3s ago and was immediately interested in what this game was going to be. After a couple years go by I start wondering what the hell happened to this game. I guess it turns out that they were still working on it, putting the total development time at almost 6 years. They really don't want to half-ass this game, and arguably for a good r...
Sigh, I was all set up to try and stay up this morning until at least afternoon so I can could try to re-align my sleep schedule this week and next. So my morning was going to consist of long hours of Xenosaga 3 and a Monster Lo-Carb energy drink. But that was all destroyed by one stupid program. My collection of Xenosaga. Top 2 are old and too scratched, bottom are new. I played Xenosaga 1 and...
Final Fantasy X When Final Fantasy X first came out it was the subject of abuse from nearly everyone. Even hardcore fans were bashing it for its changes to formula and "annoying" main character Tidus (pronounced Tee-dus). 'How could they do this to Final Fantasy?!' people cried once the game was released. I feel like I was maybe part of that crowd for a while there. I played it when it came out...
I was recently linked this blog post about what WoW has become in Wrath of the Lich King: http://wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/Fives-the-Paladin-Hates-the-Blues/Six-Words-that-Terrify-Blizzard (I'm kind of just hijacking the blog and posting it on mine, but whatever.. this expresses it so perfectly for me who was a hardcore raider for the better part of 4 years.) It's a long read and I apologize a...
Finally typing out all your feelings on a game that got mixed reviews is a lot of fun! After doing some nit-picking it feels like a huge weight lifted off my back, and now I don't think I'll have to go back to that game ever again. For the longest time I was trying to figure out why I liked it and why, for some reason, I just didn't feel like playing it each day. But now I think I can always co...
I finally stumbled across an unreleased track that was in Xenosaga episode 2, for whatever reason wasn't on the OST. And its making me want to play that game again. E. S. Battle But there's just one problem: The combat in that game is: AHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. You have (key word) to spend at least half a dozen turns charging up "Stock" in order to execute multiple attacks in one single turn....
