Confession: after I play one of these Dumpster-worthy games, I generally open Word and immediately begin the rampant onslaught of angry words.  I clack on the keyboard furiously, so soon after consuming the […]

Power up your SNES Classic (or, if you’re older, your actual SNES) and pop in Final Fantasy 3 (or, if you live in North America, Final Fantasy 6).  Look at those pixels.  Absorb their finite glory, and gorge on […]

I might have found it: my nemesis.
How many times am I going to say that before I die?  A lot, I’m sure.  My most hated game ever made is still The Last Remnant, but games my classmates have “created” in school […]

There is a line, an incredibly nuanced and often hard-to-see line, that separates the “so bad it’s good” from the “just plain bad.”  Most people know this, and acknowledge it, specifically for film.  And yet…..t […]

I was first introduced to Mender’s Strife as a judge for the Seattle Indies Expo.  I was delighted by the aesthetic, which very deliberately stayed 8-bit throughout.  Cracking into the admittedly zany humor mad […]

I was a judge for the Seattle Indies this past July, and I got to experience a lot of games.  Some really stuck in my head, for better or for worse (play a video game that totally rattles your perception of […]

How many times have you looked at a Pokémon and wondered, “What kind of tweaked out psychopath came up with that monstrosity”?  Maybe it’s not even weird, just dumb, like the literal bag of trash, Trubbis […]

Disclaimer: The following article is a rant, friends.  Disagree as much as you want, that’s the beauty of having different brains.  We all love and hate in different ways (check out the current state of Ame […]

Sony is a strange beast, aren’t they?  During their conference, you felt something; they’ve always been good at giving you a show, a presentation of something really cool.  Watching the show in person, you becom […]

And here we are.  The start of the descent into mediocrity and then horrifying torture.  We’re not at EA yet, don’t’ worry.  You’re still safe here.  But soon you’ll be rocking back and forth and muttering “pa […]

Please do not look away during the reading of this article, because you might miss something.  That’s not because everything is great; it’s because the Nintendo press conference was a blink-and-you-miss-it 30 minu […]

I actually didn’t take notes for Ubisoft, because frankly, I didn’t care.  What could they show me?  Assassin’s Creed?  Thanks, I’ll pass.  I’m about as done as I can get with your poor use of bastardized h […]

Full disclosure: I love Microsoft.  I’m prone to hyperbole, so when I say that I quite honestly would pray at an idol of the Master Chief and would sacrifice goats and virgins to appease the almighty Phil Sp […]

It’s Business Time!
Take a small, tiny break, and give yourself a hand. Your cosplay is ready for its grand debut, and you get to be the belle of this ball. Believe me, it will indeed be a ball. Just a little bit […]

Cosplay: We can build this *#$@!
You are excited and eager, and why wouldn’t you be?  You bought tons of supplies, have enough pictures to start a fan site, and you’re desperate to justify the money you spen […]

What the heck is cosplay?
Perhaps you’ve been walking around the downtown area of some city and, suddenly, seen someone dressed in what you’d immediately call a costume.  These people aren’t just your gard […]

The Nintendo Switch has been out for a little under two weeks now.  Mine got a lovely little pep talk when we took it home.  I told it that it’s got a lot on its tiny little Joy-Con shoulders.  People are wait […]
