Look At Me. I Am The Coach Now. In the exact same week, long time hockey personality/Godhead/xenophobe/builder of the game and the host of Hockey Night in Canada’s fabled Coach’s Corner segment *and* the old, ailing coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs got fired. Let’s break this down a bit. Don Cherry is gone. I named my little sports-or-whatever column on this publication […] Coaches Corner No responses 7 min read November 22, 2019
The future of Major League Baseball. This may be distressing news to some of you, and it pains me to be the one who breaks it, but anime is not real. Obviously anime – the medium – is real. If it wasn’t, you couldn’t have weird, heated, and vaguely Gary Glitter adjacent arguments about which 13 year old girl from Neon […] Coaches Corner 2 responses 8 min read October 24, 2019
Risk of Rain? More Like Risk of Rain 2 First of all I’d like to say hello, I haven’t written an article in a while, and to be honest I have no real reason for it. Second, what is up with this new editor? Everything looks different and I’m scared. Anyways, Risk of Rain is a game that came out in 2013 and Risk […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn No responses 9 min read September 10, 2019
It’s Been Exactly One Year Since I Tried To Order a Fortnite Burger For the record, the hill I will plant my flag and die on is that Raising Canes is the only fast food chicken that matters. A weird hill to die on, I know, but at least I'm dead. Coaches Corner One response 4 min read August 25, 2019
The Space Device Premise and the Certain Promise of Our Inevitable Demise Well… it’s been a while since I’ve visited this series. I know you’ve all be very eager to see how I wrap it up. The twists and turns we’ve been through…how it all ties together. We could go anywhere basically. A long time ago, approximately 2017, I had a vision for the end of this […] robek 'rw' world 4 responses 5 min read May 24, 2019
Homestuck – The Epilogue It’s been 10 years since Homestuck started, and 3 years since Homestuck ended. I’ve reviewed Homestuck, I’ve even reviewed the Homestuck spin-off game Hiveswap. I haven’t reviewed Friendsim, which is a “not-dating” sim based on Hiveswap, but I will right now – it’s fucking shit. One of the writers tried to sneak diaper fetish porn […] Coaches Corner 5 responses 11 min read April 13, 2019
The Top 5 Ways That Bernie Can Still Win. I’ve been playing a lot of Age of Empires 2 lately. If you’re one of the few people who still reads my columns on this site, you’d probably be just a little upset if I didn’t make a joke that went something like “If you’re the kind of idiot who would ask yourself ‘Coach, what […] Coaches Corner 3 responses 4 min read February 22, 2019
My 2018 In Video Games Because I lack any humor I once had, I don’t want to do elaborate awards this year. Instead, I’ll give my thoughts on some games I explored or rediscovered this year. At the end, I comment about some things potentially coming in 2019. The Alliance Alive The little 3DS is so proud of its success, […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn 5 responses 5 min read January 1, 2019
Tsugunai – Atonement Think about your favorite town in a JRPG. Anyone who’s played a JRPG has a favorite, and usually a different one from everyone else. Why you like the town varies: maybe it’s from one of the first games you’ve played, or it reminds you of your home town, you really like the setting or stories, […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn One response 9 min read October 31, 2018
I don’t like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night In all my game reviews, especially recently, I’ve recommended, discussed, and hopefully analyzed a lot of games that I like. Those are games I like because they’re charming, deserve more popularity, have interesting design, or I just think they’re special. Writing an article about a game I dislike is a completely different angle, and feels […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn 6 responses 8 min read October 16, 2018
Spider-Man (PS4) A loud ding can be heard off in the distance. The source: your mom’s brand new 2004 GE oven and stove top combo priced at $350 in the sears catalog. This chime is like a sweet symphony to your ears as it heralds in an era of unadulterated greasy goodness. That’s right, it’s pizza time. […] triodug 2 responses 10 min read October 16, 2018
Uplink Seemingly the entire PC simulation game genre has a tendency to give the player immediate head-first immersion. That immersion is in both senses of the word: complete theming of all audio/visual elements of the game, and complete detachment from guiding the player, forcing them to make mistakes and learn from them. Uplink, a 2001 game […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn No responses 5 min read October 1, 2018
