Last night were whe game awards, and I was nervous. I wanted Elden Ring to win GOTY in a way I haven’t wanted any game to win before. I was convinced that Ragnorak was going to creep up at the last moment and steal it away. I annoyed Ian by bemoaning the situation over the… Continue Reading
Since writing about Yak 0 (Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio), I have not gone back to it. I feel like I should and I have had several people tell me that I need to get through chapter four before making a decision. I read on the Google that Majima shows up in chapter three and he’s… Continue Reading
I have a huge pile of shame as do most (if not all) gamers. Especially on PC, it’s too easy to go to Steam and pick up ten games at a dollar each. They have sales all the damn time. I just bought Steelrising (Spiders) and Judgment (Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio) in the Autumn Sale… Continue Reading
I’m in between games right now so I’m searching for something to play. I checked out the latest Steam sale (there seems to be one nearly every day) and a few things caught my eye. In addition, people in the RKG Discord were talking about the Yakuza games. I have two of them in my… Continue Reading
I ilke reality shows that I call’ gentle competitions’. I’m more interested in cooperation than cutthroat competition. I watched Cutthroat Kitchen a few times, and I hated it. Not only did I hate the delibearte sabotage, but I got anxious from watching. Since I feel other people’s emotions, I don’t want to deliberately inflict myself… Continue Reading
In the past few years, I’ve been gorging on what I’ve termed gentle competitions (TV shows). Of coruse, the grande dame is The Great British Baking Show, wmich I used to watch when it was The Great British Bake Off with Sue and Mel. Once they were pushed out, I was done. I felt it… Continue Reading
I hate movies. I always have, but it’s taken me some time to be comfortable saying it out loud. Twenty years ago when I was getting my masters, I mentioned to the substitute teacher that I did not like movies. She looked at me as if I were an alien and said, “That’s like saying… Continue Reading
Talking more about games. I am an extremes person in general. Take drinks. I like them boiling hot (burning my tongue) or ice cold (brain freeze). I either love something or I hate it. I’m not often tepid about something. Take movies. I love: Once, The Station Agent, and Japanese Story. And, yes, I realize… Continue Reading
A few days ago, I was talking about the games I like and how they reflected the yin and the yang of my being. There’s a new game that has me thinking about where the two categories (hard games and cozy games) intersect. In the last post, I did not mention a series of games… Continue Reading
I don’t game often, but when I do, I game hard. Or soft. Depending on my mood. I am a mass of contradictions, and I don’t mind admitting it. Some could call it complex. Some could also call it contrary. Some others might simply call it crazy. I would say yes to all of the… Continue Reading
