  Mortal Shell Review

  

  Shortly after starting Mortal Shell I met a mannequin that springs to life into a mysterious lady who says cryptic things. Then a prompt asks if I want to sip the Divine Tar.

  Bloodstained: Can’t Relive My Life

  

  Not officially, because of course Konami holds that license and they aren’t letting it go to anyone, even the guy who did the most to build on it in the past 20 years. But the shadow of that game is inescapable in B:RotN, so it might as well be acknowledged up front, for good and […]

  Iconoclasts

  2018 is closing down (as I write this at least), and there were games.  Games and games and games. There is the added problem that I mostly missed out on.  There are always more games. Then there is the history of games. I grew up roughly from when games were playable, and given the privilegeto […]

  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 […]

  Killer Is Dead

  

  According to the credits, Suda51 had as much to do with this game as Steven Spielberg did with The Dig.  So I apologize for sarcastically complimenting him on twitter.  It is probably not at all his fault that the cutscenes in this game have second long pauses between every line of dialog.  Before you try […]

  Sturmwind

  

  So Sturmwind actually happened.  We know, we’ve played it, and we didn’t believe it either, but well, shit, there it was.

  Hinge Problems Easter Basket 2013 #6: Rudie vs. Battlefield 3

  

  I checked my Battlefield 3 playtime today, it is at 11 days, 9 hours.  That’s a lot of time to play one game. That I still go back to it everynight after a year is either a testament to its quality, the “free” expansions I got with the Premium pass, or that I just like […]
