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.

The game doesn’t really play similar to Castlevania as you might expect, […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn No responses 4 min read October 26, 2017
HIVESWAP – Reviewed Today, in an effort to continue the ongoing war of gimmick infringement I’m fighting with W.H.Y. (Come on man, Pasta Salad?) I’m going to review a video game. Let’s get this over with. Hiveswap is a video game. Cool, right? Well, what the hell is Hiveswap? That’s a good question, because I certainly don’t know, […] Coaches Corner No responses 9 min read April 13, 2017
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA – BREATH OF THE WILD REVIEW Okay, so I get it. Trust me, I do. All you guys out there are all kinds of stoked for the new Nintendo Switch. Well, most of you. Okay, some of you.
