Just some guy, trying to figure it all out. I'm kind of crazy that way. Lots of people have little tidbits about what they are about. Okay. Insane. Bored. Bring up "preferred pronouns" and we'll throat-punch you. How are you doing?

Critical Examination: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and Cloud's Decaying Mind
I’ve been replaying Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and I gotta say – this game is amazing. It’s a mark of my favorite games that the second it is over, I kinda wanna play it again. I waited on this, not wanting to go in too soon from when I finished my first playthrough, and that was actually a smart decision. Because, you see, there are a lot of things that I missed in my first playthrough of…

Top 15 Games that Need a Remake (2023 Edition)
I saw that GameBolt made a video about this topic, but I found it kind of dull to watch. It had ALL of the usual suspects on there from videos that other channels have made. I made a list like this about 8 years ago, and I thought to myself – why not actually look at this topic again? Find games that aren’t just a few years old to ask if we could get a sequel to them. Especially since some of…

Well, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is Underperforming...
There’s a horrible tragedy in gaming. Something that I have learned is that all it takes to destroy something amazing is one failure. So many AAA gaming companies are just one major failure away from their entire company sinking. Ubisoft has had underperforming games for years now, and it has made them in such dire financial straits that one more and they will be looking for buyers. Rumor has…

Top 12 Questions I Have Going Into Final Fantasy VII: Remake (Part 3)
One of the hallmarks of a favorite game of mine is that when it’s done, I immediately want to play it again. I waited a bit, but am now doing another playthrough of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. This game is so awesome. The final act is still a mess, but other than that, this game is spectacular. One of the best that I’ve had in a VERY long time. Not since Persona 5 have I been this invested…

The Line Between Objectification and "Uglification"
I’ve been seeing some things lately, and they are triggering this part of me mind which is like “you can’t be serious.” See, there’s this image macro going around of the protagonist in the upcoming Ubisoft game, Star Wars: Outlaws, where the protagonist’s face doesn’t look very good. The image macro is so OBVIOUSLY from a still that was captured at not the best angle, and clearly shrunk down…

Gaming Just Keeps Getting Worse
I’m starting to think that there is no hope for this hobby that I grew up with. No hope that things will get better. That we will see an improvement. Every story just gets more and more hopeless. It’s getting to the point that I don’t know how much longer I will keep with this hobby. I feel so left behind by so many things. Never do I feel older than when I look at things I’ve loved through…

Sweet Baby Inc. is GamerGate 2.0?
Man, 2014 seems like a lifetime ago. Life for me was very different at that time. It was my last year at college, and a rough one at that. Things were hard for me, and I was nearing the end of what I call the “nice guy phase” of my life. It was a few years past that that I grew up and realized that I wasn’t as nice as I thought, and became a better person because of it.
I remember when the…

The Gaza Situation Will Sink Biden
Part of me almost wants to be impressed with how badly President Biden, or Genocide Joe as I like to call him, is dropping the ball with the situation in Gaza. It’s so bad that part of me wonders if it is deliberate. To be this weak, this gutless, this pathetic in the face of a genocide that America is bankrolling (right alongside the genocide in Yemen) that only make Netanyahu, or Hitleryahu…

The Conservative War on Women is Failing
I saw this post where the brain-rot Twitter account Libs of Tik-Tok posted a thing about a woman who made a video saying women would withhold sex. A snarky conservative commentator reposted it, saying something to the effect of “gee, it’s almost like you should save sex for marriage! Plan working!” I read that, and I was immediately amused. Why? Because this is such an example of the…

We Aren't Looking for Perfection. We're Looking for Cohesion (A response to Writing on Games)
It isn’t often that I see something with a point of view that I disagree with where I can at least respect where the person is coming from. I’m a pretty opinionated guy, in case you haven’t noticed. I have a lot of opinions about a lot of games. My goal in life is to seek the good narrative. Anywhere that a good story is to be told, I’m all there. A story in game is my first and last…

The Dream of what my Perfect Day Would Be
I’ve been kinda down, lately. In case some of you haven’t noticed. Adulthood kinda sucks, and despite my best efforts, it feels like I’ve gone nowhere in life. There’s this great scene in the Recess movie where Principal Prickley is talking with TJ and he makes a point that he remembers summer vacation, and all the memories he made when he was younger. As an adult, in a dead-end job, those…

The Stupid Conversation Surrounding Stellar Blade
It’s getting harder and harder to like video games. It really is. Because the community of people who comment on them is filled with some of the biggest morons I’ve ever seen. We can’t like games because they are good, or have an issue with games because they are bad. No, we have to get on Team X or Team Y because of stupid shit in a game. “This game has an LGBT person! I hate it now!” …

Phil Spencer is a MORON!
So, GDC just happened. It’s a conference where the big-wigs of gaming come together and essentially talk about the industry. Some of what came from that was insightful. Larian games got to smash all the people’s hopes against the wall, saying that there will never be a Baldur’s Gate 4 from them. They have washed their hands of the DnD universe, and are moving on to new things. They also said…

F*ck Bill Maher, Part Deux
It kills me how many people who I used to respect are turning into complete conservative boomers in their old age. Richard Dawkins has turned his entire online presence into bitching about trans people. Bet him and JK Rowling are fans. Speaking of her, she is now saying that the Nazis didn’t kill any people for being trans. I swear, we’re a few unhinged rants of hers away from her saying that…

Lucien's First Take: The Crow (2024) Official Trailer
I hate remakes of movies. Like, seriously hate them. Hollywood keeps doing this, and 99 times out of 100, it turns out complete shit. I’m not gonna say that all film remakes are terrible. There are some genuinely great ones. But the amount of great to shit remakes is so skewed in the shit direction that it makes me wonder why they even bother. Well, I know why they bother. Because…

Top 15 Things I Want to See in Marvel's Spider-Man 3
I just finished replaying Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 now that New Game Plus is a thing, and it was pretty great. It still has its flaws. For one, I miss Spider-Man Twitter. I really do. There was a fun feeling about the city being able to tell you how it feels. Playing through this game again, I got this distinct feeling that things were being rushed. Something just felt off about the pacing. …

Top 10 Villains Who Should Be in Marvel's Spider-Man 3
I’ve been replaying Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 now that the New Game Plus update has released, and it’s pretty nice to go back into this world with all the suits that I missed out on. I will keep banging this drum as long as I can, but the fact that we will likely NEVER get the costume from Spider-Man Unlimited with its nanotech and badass web cape, but I may just have to make peace with that. It’s…
