I was talking yesterday about how I really don’t like most of pop culture. I meandered through music, movies, and TV shows, before talking about video games. But I quickly latched onto the indie games I didn’t like instead of sticking with the more mainstream ones, even though I did touch on a few more… Continue Reading
I’ve always been a weirdo when it comes to pop culture. Most of it leaves me cold and it’s not just because I’m a contrarian. The more someone tells me I’ll like something, the less likely I am to like it. It’s not as if I’m telling myself, “I’m not going to like this to… Continue Reading
I have not played Monster Hunter Rise (Capcom) today and I’m pretty sure I’m done. I have no desire to play it, which is a pretty drastic change for me because I was all about it just yesterday. Even then, though, the bloom was off the rose. Truly, I jumped into it enthusiastically, charmed by… Continue Reading
I was really digging Monster Hunter Rise (Capcom), pouring hours into it as I had into Monster Hunter World, the previous iteration. i was zipping through the village quests at a speed that surprised me because in MHW, I took my time and did quests over and over again to make armor and weapons. And,… Continue Reading
I went to the pharmacy the other day to pick up my meds, duh. I made the chitchat with the person at the counter, which, as we live in Minnesota, was about the weather. It’s a balmy 41 degrees, but it’s going to dramatically drop soon. There is a severe weather warning for sudden drop… Continue Reading
I’ve been watching Playstation Access plat vids–both list videos on when to go for the plat and what to expect in a plat run, and actual plat runs. I’m including the video about what a game must have in order to make a plat run appealing. The first is loving the game, which you would… Continue Reading
So I’ve been playing a shit ton of Monster Hunter: Rise (Capcom) and it’s highly addictive. In my last post, I wrote about some of the issues I have with the game. However, over all, it’s very much a popcorn game. Meaning, I want to glut myself on it even though it has no emotional/nutritional… Continue Reading
Amusing note: I called this the same thing I called my last Monster Hunter post. I thought to myself as I was typing the title, “Hm, I’ve probably used something similar before, or even the same.” I went to the last post so I could reread what I had written. Lo and behold, there was… Continue Reading
I like to read advice columns and my favorite is Ask A Manager because I really like Alison, the woman who writes the column. She’s pragmatic, but also compassionate. And she’s a rabble-rouser who used to go to protests naked to protest animal abuse. She thinks unions are great, especially now when employees have more… Continue Reading
For the past week or so, I was pondering God of War (Santa Monica Studio) versus Monster Hunter Rise (Capcom). They are both ‘old’ games that just got PC ports, which is why I’m interested. Even though I have a PS4, I am not going to buy any game for that console if I can… Continue Reading
