There’s so much joy in Astro Bot. There’s a McDohl-bot, too…
The whole thing felt like Christmas, a birthday present, and some sort of climax to many years of playing.
A Kid Again
From Years to Hours
I briefly went back to the great Astro’s Playroom today, and the original PSP was the last thing I found, which felt right.
Nothing left now, but a small wait…
PSI Hug
Loboto’s Labyrinth hits a little different when recovering from wisdom teeth extraction – and from that point on… Psychonauts 2 still touches my heart like no other 3D platformer can.
Rainy Week
I get super excited every time there’s rain in a game. Like a few days ago, with a brief storm during the Battle of Ostagar in Dragon Age: Origins, or a few hours ago, with this New Donk City tempest. Incidentally, it's also raining outside today, and it seems that we’re going to get an all-around cloudy week here.
Perfect for coffee, and dreaming up New York plans…
All Ferelden’s a Stage
Good ol’ Dragon Age: Origins.
Looking at this map after Lothering, I wonder… why on earth did I go to Orzammar first on my first playthrough, fourteen years ago?
Asheara
Vessel of Hatred is going to be a good reason to eventually go back to questing in Sanctuary. But in the meantime, I couldn’t resist the call of the canine companions.
The Remake
I’ve never experienced anything quite like the jump from a first-time playthrough of Final Fantasy VII into the cinematic marvel that is Final Fantasy VII Remake. The Midgar segment stole my heart.
BBC
I was waiting for Shadow of the Erdtree to unlock last night when I decided to give eFootball another chance. It’s still upsetting to see Konami’s gameplay stuck in a pack-opening nightmare, but it seems there are now ways to actually renew players’ contracts…
It was pretty cool to assemble this team back together.
Plus, an honorable member.
VII Time
Alright, alright… Let’s see what this is all about.
Mr. Lord of Blood
Elden Ring.
Two years after barely finishing the main quest with a longsword, a makeshift excuse of a build, and the mimic… here I am, standing in front of a combat trial to decide whether I should get Shadow of the Erdtree or not. To help conjure up whatever muscle memory remains, I should probably start refreshing my memory with this video of my sister fighting all the bosses with a poleblade.
