STGs: Where to Start
For some reason, you find yourself wanting to play STGs. Maybe you’ve seen Ikaruga mentioned so much that you feel like you should play it. Maybe you just want to try once of the “classic” or “retro” genres. Maybe you just feel too confident in yourself and need a videogame to humble you down. Whatever […]

Chris’s Sweet 20 of 2019
I’m not good at keeping lists of what media I experience as Rudie is, so if you want full accuracy, maybe check out his post. I try writing these things down in the Hobonichi Techo that I keep every year, but I don’t always remember to do that. But I do it enough that I […]

Shit, I Might Actually Be A Kingdom Hearts Fan Now
I avoided playing Kingdom Hearts for years. I even start/stopped it a couple times, and certainly had fun talking about it with Rudie in an early episode of HP (Episode 11 – listen here if you dare) but I never could finish one of them dang games. So, it is with great…something…that I announce that […]

Nier: Automata, Thoughts in Progress
The following is just chock full o’ SPOILERS, because I don’t really feel like you should bother writing about a game if you aren’t willing to venture into the entirety of the game, or at least as much as you know about. So consider yourself warned. Before it gets there though, here is the Official Hinge […]
