I’ve mentioned that when Monster Hunter: World was released on consoles, I got unreasonably hyped about it. Why unreasonably? Because I played the previous iteration on 3DS and HATED it. Oh my god, it was so terrible. I hated everything about it, but not because of the game itself. I hated it because I don’t… Continue Reading
I’m still recovering from my trip to Malta, and I want to talk more about it while weaving it with my travails in video gaming. Here’s my first post about Malta if you want some background into what I’m going to write here. As longtime readers know, I have a very troubled relationship with sleep,… Continue Reading
It’s been a over a month since I’ve played a Souls* game, and I’ve been adrift ever since. I don’t have any Souls game installed on my laptop, which is really strange as the three games have dominated my life for the past few years. There are other games I’ve played since, for example, Dream… Continue Reading
Ian and I sometimes talk about the way we game. He’s a Games Journalist™ now, but even before he had to play a million games a week, he had the tendency to dive into something for a bit, then move on to another game, rinse, lather, and repeat. I, on the other hand, will latch onto… Continue Reading
In the world of the Souls-like, I have tried many–oh, so many–with dismal results.

I am going to talk more about Dark Souls III and Dark Souls Remastered, so grab your favorite beverage and settle in. Last we visited the world of Lordran, I was entering the DLC, Artorias of the Abyss, with great trepidation. You can read about it here. My first time playing this DLC, I was… Continue Reading
I finished Dark Souls Remastered yesterday, and I have many thoughts about my return to Lordran. One, I maintain my belief that this is the best Soulsborne game out of the ones I’ve played* because it was so fresh and innovative for the time. Things we take for granted now (interconnected levels, elaborate level design,… Continue Reading
Hi, my name is Minna, and I’m addicted to Dark Souls games. Hi, Minna! I’ve been addicted to Souls game for….three years now? Maybe four? But I can stop at any time. I can! Let it all out, Minna. We’ve all been there. Currently, I’m mostly playing Dark Souls Remastered because it just came out,… Continue Reading
I’ve been at loose ends in the world of video games, so I’ve mostly been comfort gaming. Well, kinda. I discovered that there was a booster pack for Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ which included a new character. *Spoilers* It’s name is The Forgotten, and of course, users data-mined it so they figured out how you… Continue Reading
