[ a blog in which i pretend like i know how to write ]
It's that time again. Yes, the time where everyone writes about their favorite games of the last year! My nominees for writing this post are:- Games that I completed in 2021. The release date/year doesn't matter. Different people have different definitions of "complete" but for these end of year posts, I'll consider a game eligible … Continue reading My 5 Favorite Games I Played in 2021
Back in February of this year, I wrote a blog post titled: Reading Manga on a Kindle - a size comparison. Basically the gist of it is that I decided to start buying manga to read digitally and was using my old Kindle from college, and it worked pretty well for me at least. I … Continue reading Reading Manga on a Kindle Paperwhite – a sequel
Nearly 10 years after the release of Metroid Fusion, we have a brand new 2D Metroid game released for the Switch this year! I actually only got into playing the Metroid games back in 2019 with Super Metroid and then binged both Zero Mission and Fusion last year (and blogged about all three). I generally … Continue reading Thoughts on Metroid Dread
After playing through the entirety of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles released earlier this year, I decided to just finish off the rest of the series to make my tier list once and for all. I just finished binging through the last case of Spirit of Justice, the most recent game in the main series … Continue reading My Personal Ace Attorney Game Tier List
A very very short sequel to my 1.6 post! I skipped 2.0 because there was so much other new content that I didn't really make much, but I do have some short builds to document for myself here. Once again, I swear Genshin Impact is an action RPG and not a building game. I don’t … Continue reading Genshin Impact Teapot Realm – End of 2.1
Of the 6 GBA and DS Castlevania games, Harmony of Dissonance is the only one that has completely escaped my grasp even after all these years. But, the instant I saw the shadow-drop for the Castlevania Advanced Collection in the most recent Nintendo Direct, I decided to pick it up as soon as I got … Continue reading Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance – finally
The Great Ace Attorney was originally released in Japan back in 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS. It was directed by Shu Takumi, who also directed the original GBA trilogy, as well as Apollo Justice on the DS. The mainline games would be directed by a new team after Apollo Justice, while Takumi moved to this … Continue reading The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles – a return to the series
A sequel to the previous End of 1.5 post! As I mentioned before, my motivation for making these posts is to snapshot my personal progress and builds. Like before, the image quality feels sort of wonky, but it gets the job done for documentation purposes at least. Also guys, I swear Genshin Impact is an … Continue reading Genshin Impact Teapot Realm – End of 1.6
This is actually a post I started writing back in January, but kept pushing off because I kept pushing off finishing Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I still haven't finished it, but I was reminded of this draft when I was watching Razbuten's new video and seeing his insight on how a non/inexperienced gamer views random … Continue reading Yakuza: Like a Dragon – JRPG Towns and Random Encounters
I always enjoy E3, even the disappointing ones. There's something really exciting about having non-stop reveals and trailers for several days. It's the dopamine hit of seeing something new and shiny, or seeing something you've been anticipating for a while. Every year, I try make a list of games to keep an eye on so … Continue reading My E3 2021 Watch List
