Spooktober: F.E.A.R. F.E.A.R. is a linear first person shooter in the vein of Half-Life. Released in 2005 by Monolith Productions, it’s a fairly fun game that holds up in the graphics and gameplay departments. The visuals and 3D audio (look into installing those drivers) make the game extremely atmospheric with little detriment to gameplay. There’s 2 expansion […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn No responses 12 min read October 22, 2017
Chibi Robo – Spring Cleaning Apparently people like to clean in the springtime. I just like to play video games. Chibi-Robo is a game about cleaning, a game about cleaning with a toothbrush as a 2 inch tall robot. An already tedious task scaled to “fuck you” proportions. Still want to clean?

This template existed before Ubisoft’s Pile Of Shit 3, in many different forms, from many different developers. I term it as such […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn 3 responses 9 min read April 9, 2017
Thoughts on the Early Access Model Hey Remember Minecraft? Everyone remembers Minecraft. Kind of a weird game to talk about, since its fanbase, development timeline, popularity, and the gameplay itself are all either terrible or a preface for terrible things to come. Minecraft was probably the first popular early access game. Nobody really thinks of it this way, since it existed […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn No responses 4 min read April 5, 2017
Situation: Ace Combat 04 vs 5 〈〈 Robek 3, Engage. 〉〉 I recently wrote an article about my proposal for a new word about video game stories. If you haven’t read it, please do so now. Ace Combat 04 and 5, released by Namco in 2001 and 2004, were flight combat video games which leaned away from realism, and towards arcade-style physics […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn 7 responses 7 min read February 28, 2017
Situation: A New Word For Story in Games I want a new way to look at the story in games, what we have now just won’t do. Games are obviously a different medium than movies, or books, and some developers fail to understand this. So, why even have a story, or care about it? Like John Carmack said, “Story in a game is […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn 3 responses 6 min read February 19, 2017
The Sexiest Game Of All Time: Sega Rally 2 Burning out this Valentine's Day. Now I know what you're thinking: "Sega Rally 2? Really? Not Dead or Alive Xtreme 3? Or Senran Kagura? Not even Darius II?"

An Afternoon With Battlefield 1 Full disclosure – I will be the first to admit that I was super fucking stoked when Battlefield 1 was announced. A World War 1 game? Finally? You bet. I’ve always wanted a WWI game. My step-brothers and I used to talk about it all the time while we played the myriad of bad WWII […] Coaches Corner No responses 3 min read October 28, 2016
