I finally went to PAX for the first time! It was a lot of fun, definitely met my expectations and was also somehow even larger than I thought it would be. I went on Saturday, admittedly because Reggie Fils-Aimé was at a panel that day, but that also was likely the busiest day so unfortunately, … Continue reading Demos I Played at PAX West 2022
Part 1 because I'm still working my way through my backlog. As some may already know, the 3DS eShop is closing in March 2023 (which quite frankly sort of sucks and is not a very good thing in my opinion but that's a whole other conversation to be had). While it will still be possible … Continue reading 3DS Exclusive Highlights (Part 1)
I spent the weekend of the June 13th participating in the Toronto Game Jam! These are some notes on the experience I had. I joined the Game Jam as a part of a team with some friends (as opposed to a "floater" without a team). At first I wasn't going to attend because I don't … Continue reading Toronto Game Jam 2022 Experience
I'm currently on a second playthrough of Pyre. I wasn't sure if I liked it in the beginning, but I think I can now more definitively say that I like it. It's quite an oddball and fairly experimental. I'm not sure how polarizing this game was when it was released, but I can imagine it … Continue reading Thoughts on Pyre (Spoiler Free)
I feel like I'm just a tad bit late on this post but oh well, better late than never I guess. For those that don't know of r/Place, it's a social experiment that took place for April Fools that involves a large canvas in which one user can change a pixel once every five minutes. … Continue reading Memorializing Hollow Knight (+ more) Art in r/Place 2022
Pokemon Legends: Arceus was a fun enough game - fun enough for me to want to do a full playthrough, but honestly, I don't think I would have played the game if it weren't a Pokemon game. I played a game from every set of Pokemon games from gen 1 to 4 and then 6 … Continue reading Thoughts on Pokemon Legends: Arceus
I missed my annual "This Blog in 2022" post and just wanted to make an end of January post detailing why and then also rambling a bit about a game I've been playing in January and future plans. Life Update My excuse for not writing anything is that this last month has been crazy busy … Continue reading This Blog in 2022 + January Update
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
