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
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

Retro Resurrection: The Year of Unwanted Surprises I didn’t ask for this, and I’m sure you didn’t either. Hell, I can’t even think of a single person that could have wanted this. Our cries for mercy go unheard as our sadistic overlords begin the ceremonial shaking of the creatively insolvent piggy bank. And out of it’s decrepit underbelly exuded the corpse of […] triodug 2 responses 2 min read June 9, 2017
May 2017 – Death and Rebirth This month in video games played with what few emotions I have left. Mostly contained in two, completely unrelated events, about the availability of two unique but flawed third person shooters which initially released exclusively on 7th gen consoles. I’m talking about Alan Wake and Vanquish. tl;dr: I recommend both of them, but they aren’t […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn One response 5 min read May 29, 2017
Thoughts on Destiny 2 + “Blizzard App” and Fisher-Price DOTA (Heroes of the Storm) I can’t stop playing / paying for these shallow games. It’s finally been made clear to me. I had questioned why Blizzard would change the name of it’s classic and well-known Battle.Net service. It has brand equity, is catchy, and has been the Blizzard catch all for multiplayer gaming since 1996. Changing the name to “GENERIC […] robek 'rw' world 3 responses 6 min read May 18, 2017

He had eaten crackers all his life, and soon came to realize there was more to crackers than being simply a salty snack. Lately, he was in search of a more sophisticated cracker. He had always […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn 6 responses 5 min read May 17, 2017
Control efore you sits an interesting man. A man with a presence strong enough to instill a slight sensation of indigestion. Your finger hovers above a bright red button as you study the uncontrollable emotions he conjures. Your trance is broken when the man begins to speak. “You gonna pull the trigger, kid?” Staring down at […] triodug One response 4 min read May 8, 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? Doesn’t matter, because your real task is to […] Worldwide Hyper Yawn One response 6 min read May 1, 2017
