Good on you making Level 15 so quickly! I never thought I’d switch from rollers (as they were rollicking with me as well), but when I went to the Aerospray MG, with the Curling Bomb Special, I’ve been able to cover more turf and get more splats without much effort. I’m terrible as well for aiming erratically, but I’m…

Back when they reviewed Gorogoa here, I was very intrigued. I think it’s out on PS4 as well now so I really need to remember to buy and play this.

Even though I’m still drinking from a firehose on Spla2n (I LOVE “Splatuno”!), I already excited for you to run around in the new game. I highly recommend at least jumping into Grizzco for a tutorial on Salmon Run. I can’t believe how it changes up the “downed teammate” concept and gives you agency even after you’ve…

Agreed 100%. It really is quite an achievement. Took everything optimal about the older RE menus, streamlined them, accentuating your connection to the horror outside the menus, WITHOUT cutting into the flow of the tension. They make turning a chore into a joy LOOK easy.  That’s the best compliment you can give any…

I had been trying to stay on the wagon with my “Backlog Quest”, playing only games that were already in my library that I hadn’t finished (or even played much of), and there are LOTS of those. But I had already been making occasional exceptions for a while, and last night the dam finally broke, to the tune of 12 games…

I’m deeply enmeshed in Hollow Knight (Switch), exploring Deepnest, which is like Blighttown if Blighttown was miles and miles of tunnels choked with spiders and centipedes.

I’ve picked up Horizon: Zero Dawn again after a several month break. At the time, I had just arrived in Meridian, the weakest part of the game. Exploring the wilds and battling fierce beasts is the main attraction in this game. In theory, a break from that could be nice but I have the small villages and camps for that…

Salutations~!

Gaming has been sparse for me over the past month as the wife and I have mostly been engaged in a game of Real Life Nintendogs: Pug Puppy Edition. We’ve leveled him up to housebroken and mostly docile, but his MP stats still fluctuate wildly, especially when we StreetPass with other Real Life Nintendogs players on the…

Oh, I’m also playing The Council, which is on sale on PSN and is janky, badly written, but also ambitious and charming in spite of—because of?—its failures. I’d describe it as a LucasArts adventure game with RPG elements. You have a wide range of skills, and where your skill points are allotted determines what actions…

Salutations~!

Well done on those articles. They’re definitely the best-structured rundowns I’ve seen to come out of E3 so far. I can’t join the hype for the actual content, not having any Nintendo systems right now.
I did enjoy following similar list-ups on games I’m looking forward to like Death Stranding (that weird hiking…

I’m diving into <b>Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion</b> and it is FUCKING PHENOMENAL! The levels are a meaty challenge without feeling unfair or hard for artificial length. You can really see the influence that the Breath of the Wild shrine puzzle team brought to these levels. It’s much better than the base game campaign,…

In trying to format my text, Kinja crashed. That’ll teach me to not type it out in gmail first. So here we go again...

It’s really ironic after hearing all the complaining about Nintendo’s E3 that this was the week that my Switch found new life again.

I spent an embarrassingly long time thinking this was about Doom until I was like, “Wait a minute, his least favorite level is ‘Storming Koopa Bros. Fortess?’ Why would Doom- oh. Oh God.”

Great call on the John Carpenter vibe! Calling RE4 “a perfect mash-up of the best visceral horror of The Thing with the hokey over-the-top insanity of Big Trouble in Little China” nails it even better than the Gymkata/Commando parallels.

I think it’s the socks.

Should you want to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, friends, well, Mario Kart 8 on the 8th returns tonight, from 8PM Central to 9PM for an hour of Frantic item-driven power.

I’ve got less time to play games lately, but I’ve been trying to break out of my Binding Of Isaac habit (which at this point is bordering on addiction; basically I’m just so used to sitting down and playing it that it takes less effort to turn it on than any other game). Played a bit of Undertale this week, which was…
