Oh 3D Land feels like a good launch title where it's proof of concept, but there's also a good bit of meat to it to. I was referring to NSMB 2.

I've only beaten the first level, but I wouldn't say it s Zelda or God of War like because those are both puzzle heavy. This is more action, have lots and lots of enemies attack you, sort of a game.

I remember reading a lot of complaints about the addition of Phoenix mode, but the fact that it makes Conquest more accessible to everyone I think justifies its existence. (In general I like the idea of games having both a hard mode, and an easy mode. That way I can play the same game, in two completely different…

Yeah, the Wii U entry felt like it was finally the entry that took some care into making it feel like it was actually fun to play. But then it ran into the problem of also feeling like there wasn't enough new to it, as it was the fourth entry in the series. I've heard the 3DS version referred to as a tech demo, and I…

Ah crap I missed Mario Kart 8 on the 8th! I saw DL was online last night, but I was too busy playing Jotun to check what it was. Sorry, I'll see you guys next month.

Congrats! My complaints about the story of Birthright are pretty much the same. Maybe if the counter invasion didn't happen so early it would have been better? Or really it just needed more story somehow. It feels like we easily could have gotten 20 chapters but we got 27 instead. (Gameplaywise I'm happy with 27…

This weekend I'll be playing Jotun. I'm not that far in, but I think I've gotten the hang of dodging at the very least. I have failed to impress the gods a few times with all my dying and stuff.

What kind of bears?

If the Lady of Hadret House dies, then you get a game over cutscene that explains how you eventually go mad with no way to reverse the Awakening. I'd assume there's no way around siding with her, even though she only gives a little backstory. (It's easy to figure out Thaos's plot from the main quest without her, and…

This honestly made me want to displace my nosebleeds and cold onto Trump. Why the hell is the press legitimizing every other thing out of his mouth when it's all so much bullshit?

Building on what I've said in Savage Love, I've been well and truly ghosted. If you're going to offer something and change your mind, the polite thing to do is to inform someone that your offer has been retracted. (I mean I was a little panicky and maybe I would have retracted my offer, but getting ghosted was a bad…

If I did that I'd probably scare a guy off by being like Rebecca Bunch at a club.

It must be a slow week of Dan's publishing the response to "My SO is still looking at porn" letters.

For the Prince of Darkness, he's not very good at this schtick.

Brandon Sanderson. Either Mistborn (See how a party handles me giving the main villain the Bands of Mourning), or Stormlight Archive. (Shardblades are cool, as are the Knights Radiant).

I've always been a fan of Cthulhu. Its like the name came from a typewriter being head butted.

I feel Fire Emblem has a lot of characters like them, but the only ones I can really remember are Sonia from Blazing Sword (The sheer level of smugness and awfulness to Nino left an impression) and Valter from Sacred Stones (Some of the things implied about him feel really out of place in an E rated game).

For relatively uninteresting villains, I really looked forward to killing Hans and Iago. (Also I don't know why Hans is holding onto the Chakram when he can't use it, but it's one of my favorite S ranked weapons)

Chill, stress free, normal playthrough of Fates Conquest? Even on Normal/Phoenix Mode I'd probably get frustrated with so many things. (I beat it on Hard/Classic and I think it may have been the hardest turn based RPG thing I've ever successfully completed)

Still playing Pillars of Eternity. I just hit level 9 which means I get wonderful level 5 spells with my druid and wizard. Woohoo! I'm also just about to finish off Defiance Bay, so I think I might do the first part of the White March before I continue on with the main story.
