Hi, I'm Adz! To anyone new (or any potential followers), here's what you can expect from my account.
I've liked video games from an early age, and I enjoy talking about them. I recently started a JP PS1 collection, so expect to see pics from that. I'm also thinking about other platforms... 👀

Updated this slightly, so I'll give it a little bump, just in case people can get something from it.
Finally got around to finishing this off. I hope this little page is useful for people playing OW. It mainly covers being mindful whenever you play.
Miiight get some updates over time.

It's been a couple of months since I've posted anything. I'm still around, but I just haven't had much belief in what I have to offer. I've been taking a break to reassess what I want from this (or any) platform.
Will I return to posting regularly? I honestly don't know.

Fun fact; a very small part of Annihilation (the sequel, which isn't well-regarded 😅) was filmed at Parys Mountain - an old Welsh copper mine site. It's a local landmark where I live, so it still seems a bit unreal!
More recently, it was a filming location for an episode of Black Mirror.

Mortal Kombat released 30 years ago...
I will ALWAYS defend this movie. It came out when I was 10 and the memory of going to the theater with my dad to see it is one that I treasure.
Yea, it's cheesy at times, but it's also one of THE best video game adaptations ever.
I adore this movie so much.

I completed Horizon Forbidden West a few weeks ago, and I've just finished the Burning Shores DLC. Definitely looking forward to more from the series! The world is full of intrigue, and I like the character dynamics. I had trouble with the combat at times, but it was a nice challenge.

I had some fun games as Ashe tonight! Felt like my aim was in a good place for the most part, too.

Something I still find strange; people who regularly play a game that they often have bad things to say about. If the default description of a game is 'suffering' to you (even if it is in jest), you should maybe look at your relationship with the game, or...call me crazy...play it less? 😅

Arcania really wanted that bomb float....

Sticking with the Puyo Puyo theme, I got some of these as part of a recent imported drinks/sweets order!
They're pretty nice. If you've ever had Japanese jelly sweets before, they have that kind of taste.

This week, I've decided to show Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Playstation Vita! This was yet another 2014 Japan trip pick up.
I thought it was a fun little mashup of two great puzzle games. While it came out elsewhere (and for other platforms), only Japan got a physical release of the Vita version.

Recently added another Japanese PS1 launch title to my collection; Crime Crackers. It's an anime-style dungeon crawler about a group of bounty hunters.
Not sure if I'll ever be able to play it in any meaningful way, but I'll at least give it a shot at some point.

Arcania instantly jumped on the new moogle shirt (the form-fitting version, naturally)! Also tested out the new portrait mode, the filter intensity options, as well as some emotes that can now be used while sitting on the floor.
She's pretty pumped about it!

I've mentioned some of my favourites already, so I'll take this opportunity to throw in Chrono Cross.
Understandably not the sequel everyone wanted, but I feel like it's a good game in its own right. The battle system tried to do something interesting, and the dimension hopping worked well!

Thought I'd show off another game soundtrack this week. Here's the OST for Wild Arms 3!
I really liked playing through the game, and I thought the soundtrack was great. I picked this up during my 2014 Japan trip, I believe.

As I'm not near an M&S very often, I thought I'd grab one of these yesterday. I thought it was pretty nice. I'd had a fruit sandwich in Japan before, but not a strawberry one.
Kind of funny that I saw a lot of visiting Japanese school students around yesterday. I wonder what they make of it!

Fantastic Four was pretty good. I thought it set up the characters nicely for the upcoming films. I preferred Thunderbolts a bit more in terms of recent releases, but still worth a watch!

Dragged myself out to the cinema for the time in ages to watch Fantastic Four.

Another game from my JP PS1 collection; Mr. Driller!
For those unaware of it, it's an arcade game where you have to drill down into blocks without the resulting cave-ins crushing you. You also have to keep your oxygen supply up.
This was one of my recent online pickups.

Something I've never understood; insulting jokes amongs friends that attack their character/ability. I get that some groups are mutually alright with it, but even then...why? While they may be joking, it's still a perceived weakness by the person making it, and I'm not comfortable about that.

The acceptance of that behavior by men is also part of the fucking problem. I'm still trying to unlearn years of straight up emotional abuse as "normal" from people I considered friends. We should NEVER talk like that to each other, I don't care what society tells us.
Me and my "fragile ego" are finding it ironic that you've proven my point. Think I hit a nerve lmao

On my visits to Japan, I used to play an arcade game called World Club Champion Football. It used some special cards you could place down on the cabinet. The game unfortunately ended in 2022, but it was pretty cool while it lasted!
This is pretty much what my starting line-up looked like.

Something interesting from my collection; the Zelda promotional disc for the GameCube!
I grabbed it from eBay years ago, as I never got to play the earlier installments in the franchise. I'll admit that I'm still not really into the Zelda games, but I appreciate their importance all the same!

Well, I spent most of my childhood with various micro/personal computers (as we did in the UK for a while), so my family didn't own a PS1 until 1999.
From what's listed, I first played on the Master System (my cousin had one), so Gen III. The ZX Spectrum + 2 also matches up era-wise, sooo... 😛
