Hi! Idk if anyone still remembers me, I assume people do because I posted a lot like ages ago ago and there can't have been that much turnover, but i haven't posted here in 9 months so with the fact that my self esteem, much like my emotional state, varies wildly from positive to negative, might also lead me to believe that no one actually remembers me and this is going to be really awkward. WH...
My cat of like 18 years, had him since I was 5 (or 6?), was put down because the vet said he wasn't long for this world and he was suffering, I am really fucking sad right now :( r.i.p. buddy
Okay, so, I'm not the biggest soccer fan in the world. Before playing FM I barely knew what the differerences were between a full back and a half back. I got into it via screenshot LP's, one of them in Something Awful and the other on this other site (runofplay I think it was). Now, why is Football Manager the greatest strategy game of all time? It's a lot like Crusader Kings 2. It gives you th...
So, I really need to stop playing Europa Universalis 4 right now, but I'm still thinking about it, so... What better way to get it out of my system than to type about it?! No? WELL WHATEVER. I'm going to write a review pretty soon I think? I mean I do want to get to the end date on a converted save and one on a regular save. I'm thinking the regular save should be one of the Japanese Daimyos......
Europa Universalis 4 is coming out. With the release of the converter... holy shit. Preorder immediately. It'll convert any and all Crusader Kings 2 save files and convert them into mod files for EU4. So you can theoretically take a nation from 867 and go all the way to 1821. MAYBE I'M A WEIRDO but that really appeals to me and goddamnit, I want to colonize all of Canada/North America as Finlan...
SUP Y'ALL, IT'S THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF WHATEVER THIS IS! I still haven't played much of the sailor moon RPG because that game is mad old and also it's annoying, but I will get to eventually (I'm not giving a date because I will undoubtedly break it like I'm douglas adams up in this). Regardless, let's revisit the two games I bought 4 days ago: Zeno Clash well actually I bought Zeno Clash 2, b...
Okay, so, me and my family moved from Hell on Earth (Las Vegas, Nevada) to Portland Oregon. In a car. Admittedly the trip was better than I expected, the cats were great fun when we took them out of their carriers, but regardless... we had an apartment set up but we had to wait in a hotel for 2 weeks while they set it up or something. SO BORING. I also meant to do a blog before I left but I was...
otherwise known as part 1 of my unincindeary blog posts! also known as a blog that won't be commented on a lot :) I may have to come up with a cool picture for the top and shamelessly copy @video_game_king but that is not this time okay, so I've been playing The Last Remnant (spoilers for this BTW). like, a lot. because it was either that or going through Dark Souls again with my sorcerer Parva...
I know I know, stereotypes an all that, but it's accurate in that women are the largest buyers of romance, without a doubt, and I was just wondering why exactly... I mean, usually romance has many things a guy is into (that of course being sex, hot women, etc.). I doubt it's even about the fact that nothing is really happening, because in Anime the people who enjoy shit like K-On! and YuruYuri,...
okay so there's been some 'awesome' anita discussions again and those are always fun, but one thing I am tired of is people calling people white knights, because that's entirely disingenious... for a couple of reasons. Look, I respect people who can make good arguments even if I don't agree with them ( @Brodehouse is a pretty good example, I disagree with him on most things but I enjoy his argu...
This is not a blog about how the walking dead sucks, or even how the walking dead is awesome, so you people who want to argue one or the other (you know who you are) should skedaddle. ANYWAY. I like the game. I do! i'm not even going to make the argument that it's not a game because if I did I would be a real big hypocrite (I have two visual novels on my list, Cinders and Analogue: A Hate Story...
or this thread can be about misleading thread titles which is not actually illegal (is streaming those matches out illegal? I don't know I assume they are) (also is there no real place to watch those matches online for free? I mean not even on hulu or something? seems weird) anyway, lots of people engage in misleading thread title usage. Most do it to stir up shit, some just do it to be funny (...
okay, so, everyone who's american (I was talking to a guy in australia who only knew the theory of twinkies so I'm pretty sure it's an american thing, mexicans and canadians sound up if they're there or were there) knows about the fact that Hostess went out of business. Sad news for those workers, obviously, but... god I am so glad. basically 3 days after the announcement, my mom comes home wit...
this is a response to that hitman topic obviously, but there's a larger issue here; people not looking at things from others' perspectives. Like, if I had to guess, most of the people here are: straight white PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT OF THE TRANSSEXUAL PERSUASION male Nothing wrong with that! I'm not trying to blame those people whom fall under this umbrella, and I'm not saying that people who don't...
Okay, so there's quite a bit of hate around here for tricky. Like, more than I think is deserving; all of them have their good points and bad points (yes, even Vinny) of course, but it gets quite irrational at times. I also love how it's always prefaced with "BUT I LIKE HIS WRITING" as if that totally excuses what you are about to say. but that's not why I'm here, to defend Patrick, though that...
I mean just because guys have a 4 inch- haha JOKES (see you thought I was going to talk about penises but NOPE)(this is called a misleading headline you see) now serious topic (well not that serious because it's about video games but) Okay so I have my own little personal top 10 games list that's not going to change because I have no money, and I was thinking about the top two games on my list;...
I was thinking about the endurance run lately; the original one. I think many people will agree it's the best content of the site (myself included) and you get so many people who ask for endurance runs and just as many saying "DON'T ANGER THE GIANT BOMB GODS WITH YOUR INCESSANT QUESTIONING" (I am paraphrasing sue me). I was just thinking that maybe people place too much... emphasis on it. It's...
Now I've been in a lot of internet arguments, and this is specifically a response to one about Anita (still can't remember how to say her last name), but this has nothing to do with her and everything to do with how arguments are on the internet. I'm not here to say they're worthless or anything, they can be enlightening if you come into it as a discussion rather than an argument, but there's l...
Cinders is a visual novel game made by... some european guys (Their names say Polish to me though I am unsure) that is based on Cinderella, and it's fucking incredible. So, in the titular Cinderella, she was a waif of a character that lived under a house with her two cruel stepsiblings and her stepmother who was also terrible. She didn't do anything to help herself, rather the mystical fairy go...
I don't know why I decided to play this. I think it was on the wikipedia article of LGBT characters in video games. Maybe it was a combination of that and Analogue, Katawa. I originally downloaded it illegally (I am in fact the worst) but they had an anti pirating measure that no one could crack so I bought it, and it might be a little costly, but whatever, it's still pretty rad and I know lots...
I like video games! There were some good ones, some weird ones, etc. People are way too predictable though. Skyrim, top 3? bastion, top 5? PSH. I mean I have Skyrim on my list but FUCK YOU. My list is going to showcase some odd ones, some not so odd ones, and that's real cool. I also wrote most of this blog before but I was dumb and accidentally shut off my computer without saving it :( Also, y...
why yes, that is a horrible pun, thank you very much! anyways, there's been talk of GOTY lists or whatever, and I had mine down until I checked my steam list and saw a couple games I had forgotten about, Magicka and E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy. Magicka I never completed, but E.Y.E.! There was lots of comparisons to it and Human Revolution, as they are both pretty clearly evolved from Deus Ex 1, wi...
Ok, so, my favorite game of last year was Nier, because it was so unique; not in the combat, necessarily (though they do shift between perspectives like it was going out of style) but the storytelling... very very sad game. Didn't get a lot of very good press, though, because the combat could be considered boring by some (it was at times), some of the side quests were monsters (also true). Alph...
Ok, so, that is a very decisive statement, and one that is likely to attract people saying "HELLO DID YOU PLAY DEAD MONEY" (yes I did), and I'm not necessarily talking about gameplay, because base fallout 3 or new vegas has boring combat anyway. What I'm talking about, obviously, is story stuff. Even fallout 3 was VASTLY improved by point lookout, because BASE fallout 3 had terrible fucking que...
Ok, so, I've enjoyed plenty of Mil shooters in my time; I played a smattering of BC2, I have about 30 hours of black ops clocked on steam, but... Why are there still fans of this style of shooter? Haven't they been done to death? I'm more excited for Overstrike, or Far Cry 3, way more excited, than BF3 and MW3 (and i have a good enough computer to play BF3, so shut up) There's only so much you...
Ok, so, first things first: I don't think Fallout 3 is a bad game, it's a fine game. I have heard many people, however, say that fallout 3 was BETTER than new vegas, and I literally can't think of a reason why anyone would prefer 3 to new vegas, besides these 3: 1. WAH WAH BUGS UNOPTIMIZED WAH This is one, but i can only see it if you haven't played new vegas since like the 2nd week it came out...
Ok, so this game was put out by Atlus, and while it wasn't solely developed by them, they had a lot of influence on the story and stuff so it peaked my attention right away. Now, after about 6 hours or so, wanna give some starting thoughts. Mild spoilers I guess if you wanna go in completely clean I suppose? 1. Story is really good so far, and main character is awesome. Now, this was billed as...
Ok, so about 2 months ago, I beat Resonance of Fate; the story was a little silly and dumb, but it was still a great game. After beating the main story, I went into the super secret dungeon NEVERLAND, which just happens to be an amusement park (no MJ jokes please). Secret dungeon is hard as hell the first time; I beat the main story at level 80, and by the time I beat the final boss of Neverlan...
This game is well made, and I suppose it's an alright candidate for GOTY (better than RDR by a country mile, for sure) But man... I played the game in march or whatever, and enjoyed myself immensely. Played two separate times, in fact. I have spent the time since then thinking if it was really as good as everyone else was saying, and I decided to go back in to another playthrough. I have since...
