Years and years ago I used to read Ian’s webcomic, RPG World. I hadn’t thought of it in probably close to a decade, but my husband and I were watching Steven Universe one day and I noticed one of Steven’s action figures was the comic’s main character. I thought it was just a coincidence until I looked it up and…

Just watching that GIF play is stressing me out. Wow.

This was tons of fun to read. I love when you guys do this.

It’s weird, but the one that comes immediately to mind is Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I was probably only about five or six when I played it, and when the villagers in that one place turned into bats, it absolutely terrified me. Looking back, I can’t think why... I don’t remember any music stings or anything…

I think I most vividly remember buying Final Fantasy 8 when that came out. With tax, it was over eighty bucks in Canada, and that wasn’t for any fancy collector’s edition. But I’m PRETTY sure the first one I ever bought had to have been Link’s Awakening. Prior to that, I remember only having Warioland, which I got…

“Haha, that’s ridiculous. I’m gonna buy it,” is 100% how I make most of my shopping purchases for things like this. Well played, JoJo’s.

Aw. This sounds awesome. I will add it to my watch list and hope it gets patched.

I think I really just wanted... Psych. I feel like Archie is the sort of thing that would have gone well with Psych’s style of humour, minor drama, snappy writing, and vibrant colours and characters. Instead I got... *gestures vaguely*

I’ll have to check this out. I read the book ages ago and I was kind of... I guess tepid on it? I felt like it had a lot of really cool and interesting concepts but it just felt really self-indulgent in a predictable, distracting way.

This is a great sad, candid read. I remember last year, this couple who made a webcomic together were surprised by opening their door one morning to find a gift basket that had been left there (not delivered by post) by a fan. They felt it was an invasion of their privacy because this was clearly someone who had dug…

Reminds me of the Breath of Fire 2 ending. Late in the game, you’re given the option to descend into the final dungeon, which is essentially being held shut by this dragon being to prevent the creatures within from overwhelming the world. She asks if you want her to release the seal so you can enter; if you say yes,…

Oh my God. Thank you.

You can totally keep Cid alive in FFVI! It took me a reload to figure out how, but in hindsight, having the healthy fish be the ones that moved more sprightly was a neat bit of intuitive gameplay.

It’s not on sale, but I got my husband a Hydro Flask tumbler... a Christmas or two ago? It was kind of an impulse stocking stuffer, but he loves it. He’s a gardener by trade, and he says it keeps a beer cold even in the Florida heat without a lid. It’s more expensive than your average tumbler, but I really recommend…

In my never-ending quest to buy a ton of games impulsively but never actually play or finish most of them, I picked this up a few weeks back. I am in love with the visuals. I liked the bit of it I played (and will have to get back to), and felt like what I really needed to do was develop more muscle memory for the…

I didn’t say it affected their choice to use only a male character. :) I said the implementation of it in the original wasn’t well done, and that the sloppiness of it impacted my own perception of the game’s quality. I’m not implying that somehow means they can’t or won’t or shouldn’t do it in the future, just that it…

Eugh, bad smelling beauty products are the worst, especially ones where you’re like, “What are you doing? You don’t need to be stinking like this. You could have smelled like NOTHING and been better for it.” I guess it’s better than it smelling like chili cheese dogs.

Right. But it’s part of the game, and I played in English. And it’s unfortunate that they got a shoddy localization, but it still didn’t reflect well on the game itself.

Eh, the female protagonist was handled so lazily in the original anyway. It started out using gender-neutral pronouns in dialogue, then gave up a few hours in and started just using “he” for everything. It felt sloppy enough that I would rather they have left it out if they weren’t going to put the bit of extra polish…
