I did the thing! Beat the first playthough of Silent Hill f.

I swear the whole experience felt like the gaming equivalent of your mom catching you smoking and then forcing you to smoke a whole carton of cigarettes as punishment.

Do with that statement what you will.

Started playing this game called The Legend of Dragoon. Damn, Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 already has imitators!

If I had to pick a biggest snub out of the VGAs, it would have to be Luke Dale for best performance.

Honestly thought Kindom Come: Deliverance II would be overlooked for everything but then it gets nominated for Game of the Year and yet not a single performance nom, and it is definitely worthy.

Sunnyside had a lot of issues, and probably still does...

This being said I still found this to be one of the best core concepts for a Farming Sim with a lot of good gameplay elements.

At 13.99 definitely recommend, even if you need to see past the issues to get full appreciation.

This is your daily reminder to PLAY Demonschool!

Pretty stacked so was hard to full choose but I think this reflects how all over the place my brain is.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Silent Hill f, and Ghost of Yotei were probably the best times I had this year... Or at least in terms of what I could vote for...

Play Demonschool!

Bummer to hear that the TMNT: The Last Ronin movie has seemingly been scrapped. More so though, Im curious to see if this will effect the game in development at Black Forst Games under THQ Nordic.

It was announced 2 years ago and has been radio silent silence since so... curious...

Finally had more than 5 minutes to play The Outer Worlds 2. Really loving the RPG dialog options which has always been a strength of Obsidian as they seem very varied.

I just wish some of the quests didn't feel insanely obtuse to get through.

Photo evidence that Faye is my freaking Queen.

Get Demonschool!

No, the real question... Are they brave enough to give him his motorcycle!?

Fucking do it Hollywood! I FUCKING DARE YOU!

I really want to go to New Zealand, but I dont have a multimillion dollar fantasy epic to film.

Kinda feels like if you dont have that going for you there just isnt a point.
November 17, 2025 at 10:27 PM
I don't have an opinion on the game itself. But it feels like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 being nominated in all the Indie categories should be the great controversy of our time.

It fails to meet that criterion even by the loosest metrics.

There is one surefire way to get me overly obsessed with your game with very little effort... And that's having some bit of Shenmue in there.

especially with indie games like On Your Tail and Inkonbini drawing inspiration from it, I have loved seeing the lasting impact the Dreamcast game has had.

One of the levels in the single player campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a reskin of the Hijacked multiplayer level from Black Ops 2...

Legit question, What are we doing here?
November 14, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Apparently the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition adds very little and costs $59.99. I get companies need to make money, and I will defend them on a lot of stupid shit...

Can we break the habit of selling games over a decade old that look and feel over a decade old like the re-release makes them new?
November 12, 2025 at 1:18 AM
IM THE ONLY FUCKING PERSON HERE WHO PLAYED SPACE CHEF! DONT YOU FUCKING TALK ABOUT INDIE GAMES!

YOU DONT KNOW ME!

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET FROM WHERE I WAS TO WHERE I AM NOW!!!!

Might have mentioned. If not, started The Outer Worlds 2 when I got a review key... So have maybe like 2 hours in it.

Didnt realize this would become a process as the review is for a trilogy of 100 hour rpgs about a young girl who maybe has a shop of some kind.

More to come on both I hope.

Platinumed Once Upon A Katamari. Definitely a lot of fun!
November 1, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Whaleson is by far best cousin in Once Upon A Katamari and I would totes do uspeakable things for that little slouchy face.

Beat Ninja Gaiden 4. Bean barely able to complete games this year and finished 2 to credits in the this month! Pretty happy about that!
October 29, 2025 at 4:19 AM
Working on a review for Ninja Gaiden 4. Gonna be fair, it is not going to be as positive as others.

I find the game to have a lot of really bad, baffling so, design choices...
October 28, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Can we normalize... And bear with me here... Not having disruptive red flashing boarders on games when your health gets low. Let me turn this fucking shit off.

I have eyes to see the obtrusive red Ninja Gaiden 4, stands to reason I have eyes to see my health bar.
October 27, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Ninja Gaiden 4 has the two things that turn me on without fail.

When a subtitle is just the name of the person listed as speaker.

And whatever the fuck is going on with this guys hair.

I have issues...
