I hate movies. I have accepted this as true. I had a substitute teacher when I was in grad school who was stunned when I said this to her. I didn’t realize it was a controversial statement. She sputtered how it was like saying you didn’t like sandwiches. She said it as if that was… Continue Reading
All right. This is (probably) going to be my last post on games for this year. Maybe. I will say that my Christmas game (the one I ‘m hoping to play over the holidays) is Sea of Stars (Sabotage Studios). I have it downloaded on Game Pass, and I have heard such good things about… Continue Reading
Yesterday, Iwas talking about games that have disappointed me in this year. I’m not mad, just disappointed. Are there any games I’m mad about? I don’t think so. Speaking of disappointing, though. Here’s the next award. The FromSoft game I really wish I could have played, but I just could not Armored Core VI Fires… Continue Reading
In the decade or so past, I have done my GOTY post around this time. In the lead-up to the GOTY post, I did a post in which I gave cutely named awards to other games. Last year, I didn’t do the latter, mostly because there was only one game I played. That would be… Continue Reading
I’m still exhausted from the flu shot, but I don’t want to talk about that. I’m bored with being exhausted, so let’s talk about Elden Ring (FromSoft) instead. I’ve been doing a strength run which I have never done before. I’ve done strengthcaster builds before, but not a pure strength build. To be completely honest,… Continue Reading
It’s been interesting to follow the discussion about soulslikes and the inevitable comparisons between Lies of P (which is getting DLC and is developed/published by Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio) and Lords of the Fallen (CI Games/HexWork, and which I have stopped playing). It’s interesting to me because the level of the discourse is one… Continue Reading
I think I’m done with Lords of the Fallen (HexWorks, CI Games). You’ll notice I did not say I had finished the game because I haven’t. I don’t think I’m even halfway done. It’s just that when I think about playing the game, I become lethargic and unhappy. Like, I ‘should’ play the game, but… Continue Reading
Lords of the Fallen continue to test my patience. I mentioned in the last post a few of the positives that I found in the game. The ease with which you can summon is one of them. At the beginning of the next session, however, I was in the same boss room and about to… Continue Reading
In my last post, I said I was done with Lords of the Fallen (HexWorks/CI Games). I wasn’t. This is like Lies of P in which I feel done with it, but I keep going. A funny note about the latter. My nibling messaged me asking if I’d heard of a game called Lies of… Continue Reading
I think I’m done with Lords of the Fallen (Hexworks/CI Games). The last time I played was day before yesterday, and the last hour or so was me running from checkpoint to checkpoint. Here’s my last post on the game. I did take some time to try to learn the asshole enemy–oh, excuse me. I… Continue Reading
