I knew before I even played the game. A friend of mine was playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare the day it came out and I got to watch the first 3 minutes of the All Ghillied Up mission. Then I bought the game myself, beat the campaign in one sitting and put another 700ish hours into the...

I saw the Batman Arkham games were on sale this weekend so I picked up Arkham City and Arkham Knight. I have some vague recollection of enjoying Arkham Asylum roughly a decade or more ago so I decided to refresh my memory and play it first. I was pleasantly surprised to discover I had the...

Any stealth game where perfect non-lethal stealth is possible... I have to do it. The best power in Dishonered for me was a hidden one on its own keybinds: the quick save/load buttons. I am NOT good at stealth games however, so inevitably plates I started spinning early on come tend to come...

I used to like KoRn. I still do but I used to too. I changed it to an X because I didn't want to copy.

There's a scuba gear rental place surprisingly close by (for a guy in the mid west that is). I schedule a rental there for the day the game comes out. Then I tape my debit card to a rock and throw it into the near by lake and WAIT FOR REVIEWS. That's to say I don't prep anymore. I don't take...

Decided to write my own little review of Super Bunny Man. Super Bunny Man Developer: Catobyte Release Date: May 15th 2023 (Early Access September 1st 2017 Super Bunny Man came along to ask the question no one thought to ask. What happens when you take the precise platforming levels of...

I played and beat Super Bunny Man over the past couple days since it finally had its 1.0 release. Surprisingly fun. You're limited to just jumping and grabbing, causing you to navigate the world like sticky handled pogo stick. The challenge comes from leaping over holes, scaling hills, and...

I think there is an element of intentionality when it comes to determining if something is a bug or not. With that definition there are games that could be considered practically bug free because the jankyness is part of the package, like Goat Simulator, and there are games that are trying to...

I'm drawing off of a repressed memory here, but my dad walked in basically the same moment I unlocked the romance sequence with Miranda in the engine bay. Him: Hey, whatcha playing. Shepard and Miranda making out. Me: Uh. Mass Effect 2. Him: ...this is a game. Miranda jumps on Shepard and...

The fighting game community is so infectiously supportive that I cannot help but love many fighting games despite being utter bog roll at all of them. The big ones that come to mind are Guilty Gear: Strive, and UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH: Exe-Late [cl-r] (which has to win an award for the most...

In Twilight Struggle I played a card that let me set the defcon track wherever I liked so I set it to 1. Turns out 1 is nuclear war and an instant loss. I might be stretching the term "completed" here...

I bought a 10 Keyless a few years back for the extra mouse pad real estate thinking I never touched the keypad. Couple days later I did a restart and pointlessly poked the first number of my pin into my mousepad where the keypad would of been. Didn't even realize I used it. I still really liked...

Well, I don't use many launchers anymore, especially since Ubisoft and EA are back on steam. 1. Steam - I'd love to say everything is hunky dory in Steam land but the client feels like it's become functionally worse over the last couple years. In particular I've had a lot of trouble with...

This is a no brainer for me. Opposing Forces for the original Half-Life ends with Adrian Shepard being voided by the G-Man, presumably stashed away to be unleashed on the Combine when it would most benefit G-Man and his mysterious overlords. Shepard has his own destiny of course, something...

I think it was Battlefield 3. I was pulling a flank and as soon as I crested the hill the sun hit my face like a cream filled pie tin. Manfred Mann played in the background as I was gunned down by an army of not blind enemies and I said, "Wow. The sun f@#$ing sucks in this game." On a more...
