I remember when I first played Ninja Gaiden. It completely floored me, and I've been chasing that feeling ever since. It electrified the genre, reviving a dormant series. NG may still be unparalleled to this day.

Happy 25th to Skies of Arcadia, one of the best RPGs of all time, a perfect fusion of whimsy and adventure. And a game I can’t believe, in the remake gold rush, hasn’t been revisited. www.inverse.com/gaming/skies...
25 Years Later, One Dreamcast RPG Masterpiece Is Begging for a Remake

OH DAMN I forgot Evo was this weekend. Well, that wipes out whatever plans I had. Which was nothing. So, I'll watch Evo instead

Maan, the Ozzy news is rough. His music always held a special place for me during my metal years. I'll always remember loudly, obnoxiously singing to Crazy Train and Mama in the car. Rest in peace, prince

I reviewed Everdeep Aurora for @shacknews.com . Gorgeous, emotionally resonant, often subtle. It guides you often without you knowing it, forces you to learn the world and make connections. Friction actively makes it better. I tried to write about it the way it deserved.
