It’s 2 a.m. on New Year’s Eve 2020, and I am balling my eyes out because this game Wrecked. My. Shit. Alice reminded me so much of my grandmother and her end of life struggle that it just broke me. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s Stanley...I don’t know that I can play through this game again, honestly. I really…

I’m tearing up just thinking about Stanley and Alice :(

People in the Farragut/Bearden area just don’t care. Not their community, not their problem. They just shrug because it’s AE and that’s their expectation/stereotype for that community. That’s been the view of that area for a long time. Back in the day (25 years ago or so), we were heavily discouraged from even going…

There’s a timeline of the shootings available on the local news site, WATE:

It makes my day to hear that! I noticed that it’s cloud-playable, but no touch controls. Too bad I don’t have a controller at work with me.

And my Gamepass sub has paid for itself once again! I cannot wait to get home this evening!

SaGa Frontier is indeed too uncomfortably smooth...I don’t trust it. Seriously though, the graininess of the PS1-era graphics are part of their endearing quality to me. It’s how I remember them. Throwing them in the tumbler and polishing off their rough edges doesn’t make them prettier. Just my two cents.

+1 for the peanut butter sandwich. One of my favorite treats as a kid was a peanut butter, butter, and apple butter sandwich made my grandmother.

All you need to say:

What surprises me is that Nintendo has yet to dip into their Gameboy/GBC/GBA catalog, especially since the portability of the Switch is one of it’s selling points. Honestly, I want this more than I do N64 games. Put the Mario/Wario Land collections on Switch online. Put Link’s Awakening, the Oracles, and Minish Cap on…

Back in ‘95, Wipeout was the game that seemed ‘next level’ to me and sold me on the PSX. Everyone else was going gaga over Ridge Racer, Twisted Metal, and Destruction Derby. However, Wipeout was the only one that looked, sounded, and felt like the next generation had arrived. Wipeout 3 seems like the pinnacle of the…

I could totally do communion with burgers.

Oh Mr Jones beneath the sea.

Putting this out there to Jesus, Buddha, Spongebob, or whatever deity actually exists and is listening: Please let this old fucker just keel over before 2024. Please and thank you. There’s a soul in it for you if you make it happen!

Ahem...Super Smash Bros. Melee

Shapiro's sense of humor is as dry as his wife.

It’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but Journey of the Broken Circle is an excellent little game. There’s a deep story in this simple little game that deals with fulfillment and self-worth. It will speak to anyone who’s fought a battle within themselves and dealt with their own dark inner monologue. I played…

This is fascinating! There’s so many “values” I was taught at home and at school on this. I’m curious about the emphasis on scientific method, though. My experience has been anything but the use of objective, rational linear thinking. It’s more along the lines of accepting subjective information from authoritative…

TMNT II: The Arcade Game on NES. This game taught me early on that co-op gaming was never going to mix well with friendships/relationships for me. Every game devolved into “Stop stealing my lives!” and “THAT’S MY GODDAMN PIZZA!”

Next question, as sung by Rockapella: Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
