What's Good About
Welcome to 2024, I hope you all had a quiet and restful holiday. I mainly just hung out with my brothers and caught up on sleep I missed because the back half of 2023 just decided to test me on a conceptual level. Unlike last year, where the bangers started

This is it—the final post of 2023. And you know what that means? It’s time for the annual Game of the Year Post. This one in particular is pretty wild to me because 2023 has been stacked with good releases. From as early as January to as recent

A Quick bit of housekeeping before we begin, the next post is gonna be the Game of the Year recap and next week’s video is the last one of the year. With that out of the way, let’s begin. Now for the regularly scheduled Chicanery. It’s that

Screw it, we’re taking a detour to Roguelikeville this week. Because it’s easy. And by easy I mean checking in on an early access game I talked about nearly two years ago because it was finally fully released last week. For those who are not in the know,
You know, it’s not every day I get to talk about Mario. A lot of it is because Mario games speak for themselves for the most part. You know you're getting quality when you boot one up, and when a new mainline Mario game comes out, it’

This will be another one of those “going outside of my wheelhouse” posts. I don’t normally talk about puzzle games not named Tetris or Portal for one simple reason: they make me feel like a massive dipshit. Nine times out of ten, either the answer is right in front

Lying is an interesting thing. Because it means to tell either a small white lie to protect someone’s feelings or a big foundational lie that changes the nature of how you look at someone or something, it’s also within human nature to emulate and adapt stories. To do

Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Frontier. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds, seek out alien artifacts and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before. If I had to describe Starfield’s vibe in one re-appropriated quote, it’d

I find it weird that I've never once talked about Chrono Trigger in my five years of writing about games. I didn't go into it because we all know it’s one of the best video games ever. But it does dovetail quite nicely into the
Editor's Note: Just wanted to offer a quick apology for not posting anything here for a month. Family stuff came up and that took priority. Now for the regularly scheduled posting. This differs from what I usually talk about here on the site. Primarily because it’s more
Man, the schedule decided to lighten up for July. In all seriousness, the fact that the month looks pretty light from a release point of view has been a blessing in disguise. This gives me more time to get to stuff in the backlog like God of War Ragnarok (which
Listen here: https://on.soundcloud.com/gvmeQ It’s been a while since we’ve looked at a video game on the older side. Not that I mind since A) nothing is coming out this week, 2) everyone is still probably playing Final Fantasy XVI and finally, it’s my
As Andy Williams said in his seminal Christmas Hype Anthem. “It's the most wonderful time of the year!” And by that, I don’t mean the release of a new mainline Final Fantasy game or the most significant lore drop in Destiny’s history as a franchise, although
Well, this is certainly a change of pace around here. My history with Final Fantasy is a weird one. It’s one of those things that’s been constantly around in my life and one that almost everyone I know has strong opinions on, but I don’t have that
Slayers X: Terminal Aftermanth: Vengance of the Slayer. That feels like a mouthful. I’m gonna call it Slayers X moving forward because that’s literally what it's called on Steam and I don’t want to get winded. Anyways. Slayers X is a Boomer Shooter by Big
This one’s been a long time coming. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is the most recent game in the now 22-year-old series (dear god I feel old now) and was one of the most recent additions to the PlayStation game collection thing that’s kind of like Game Pass
Well, well, well. It looks like we’re back at it again in the boomer shooter territory, ey? I do not mind this because I’ve been in a boom-shooty mood lately and what better way to indulge that craving than with Warhammer 40k Boltgun. Developed by Auroch Digital and
Star Wars, from a video game point of view, has had it pretty good in the last few years. Between Battlefront 2 getting fixed and being a pretty good multiplayer game that serves as a celebration of Star Wars in its entirety, Squadrons being a great Space Combat game, The
Let me paint a scene for you. I’m going through a burning city with my party consisting of a Highwayman who was tougher than iron at the expense of being a pacifist, a military commander who could bolster his allies and crush his enemies if his bum leg allowed
Playing and futzing with 3DS stuff recently has been the significant mood my brother and I have been in for the last month. And this has inspired him to get further and further down the rabbit hole of retro-themed handheld streaming devices. I bring this up because the main thing
The time before a major release is always weird l for me. I’m not playing the release I want (in this case, Jedi Survivor), so I gotta find some way to keep myself occupied. This is where this week’s entry comes in. A little-known fact about me is
