Finished Eternal Strands. A good Bioware-lite on a budget. Visual novel for dialogue scenes. A story that conveniently avoids populated areas but still has some good worldbuilding. One truly terrible boss fight that they recycle three times... some fun physics based navigation and combat though!

Was fun to learn how to make espresso martinis for our house warming party last week, but now it feels like dangerous knowledge to hold with all these leftover ingredients.

Haven't updated my office pic since the move to Philly, so here ya go. Yes, I really need to get rid of that atrocious keyboard.

My mods as player agency in Mass Effect video is now my main project and I hope to have it out in the next few months. Surely this will be the project that "fixes" my creative struggles from the last couple years.

My piece on Marathon, Journey, and a particularly niche Oshii film is featured here alongside a bunch of much cooler writers!

In honor of the thick Canadian smoke filling my lungs all the way down in Philly, I began replaying Firewatch last night. I forgot just how much of a sad shitty wife guy there is from the jump.

Marathon has been much discussed, but I'm here to do what I do best. That is to relate Bungie's latest attempt at a trendy online shooter to the lonely themes of a Mamoru Oshii film.

Finally started one of the many kits I bought several months ago.

Every time a new bit of info of Godzilla Minus Zero comes out my feeling that its going to be incredibly redundant to Minus One and the original increases. I really hope I like it, but dang do I wish we lived in the timeline where Shin and Singular Point were the driving force of the franchise.

This is me! I'll be writing for startmenu from time to time. Shame my first review for them is of a game I didn't much care for.

My piece on Sakura Wars and Midnight Suns is featured this week!

New blog! Why do tactics and romance pair so well together?

Went to a local used games convention today outside of Philly. Arcade flight combat games are a fun niche genre to collect. I suspect that if two of them sit on a shelf together long enough they spawn some new even more obscure release I've never heard of.

My main takeaway from the direct is that every time Nintendo shows a jetski game without it being Wave Race, they should send me a personal letter of apology.
