rapidly devolves into a violent nightmare of cannibalism, cultism, and genocide, gruesomely parodying the narrative of Christianity, from Genesis to the gospels.

I’m in the “Super Metroid is essentially perfect” camp, which probably leaked into my review. I don’t know what I’d actually change to make it “more” Metroid, because it is, by default, I pull my definition of Metroid from.

I really hate Kinja. You would never see people talking like this at the old Gameological site.

I remember that epic Deathevan fight! They really lean into every trope for that one, huh (the musical accompaniment and Ryu racing past all those explosive blasts to slice his eye were definitely the highlight). And then of course there’s the first game where the really good ending is only available if you’re able…

Our DM is planning on having us run through them in order, starting at level one. I think she plans on creating her own bit of connective tissue between them.

Well, come Saturday the Household Flam will finally be back down to its normal three inhabitants. Just me, Summer, Morty, Beth, Jerry, Sleepy Gary, Photography Raptor, Cousin Nicky... wait, that’s more than three....

Salutations~!

D&D campaign is sadly on hiatus as we’re down a couple of players.

D&D Update

Mario + Rabbids has challenges you can do in each world after beating the boss. There are also chests scattered about with additional EXP. Finding the challenges and bonus exp can be tedious, but I haven’t felt the need to restart a mission for a better rating yet. If I don’t get a perfect rating (which is maybe 20%…

Truly, this is a sad day for literature. Also bananafish.

We realized we cannot rename people’s profiles so, unfortunately no. We’ll just assume every losing team is named NicklebackCreed69. I’m sorry, Ota, you making Keyboard Geniuses with that monicker is one of my favorite things to happen on Gameological.

Of course, if it’s anything like Hyrule Warriors, I’ll be playing it for three years!

Saving FEW for Christmas, making the sequence easier without resorting to harebrained schemes for a second Switch so we can all play what we want when we want to.

One example is I had to go into a closed area of the city (I forget its name) that was full of nasties. There was a quest in there where I had to find out where some missing soldiers had gone and they kicked my ass (this is becoming a theme, it seems), so I just reloaded and avoided that area. I could, however, do all…

Destiny 2, Warhammer 2 (pre-ordered), XCOM2 expansion, Tyranny DLC, Ultra Sun/Moon, a variety of indies on Switch...it’s a goddamn nightmare.

My copy arrived of Mario + Rabbids arrived yesterday and I took it for a spin last night. It’s started off slow with about 8-10 battles to get me acquainted with the mechanics. The first miniboss managed to take down Rabbid Peach and had my other two party members on their last legs, so that was excited. So far, the…

One wrap-up and one game in progress this week:

And since the Night Trap remaster has me all nostalgic for silly old FMV games, I might try to get Paparazzi! Tales of Tinseltown working on my computer.
