Dragon’s Dogma the type of narrow, niche fanbase that made me know I’d love it whenever I got around to playing it and even though I knew this would happen, I wasn’t ready for quite how much I’d love it.

Dragon’s Dogma is a weird game. It feels like someone played a game of telephone, describing the conventions and goals of the big western RPG genre to the designer of Devil May Cry, who then declared “I got it” and made a game. The reality isn’t quite as funny. Hideaki Itsuno had a lot of the...

I know I said I was going to post on every game I played, but that turned out to be too much work. Some games are worth talking about but don’t operate well as whole post. So lemme hit the four games I didn’t write about

The problem is, this is unavoidable. It's almost impossible to make a clear, good cutoff and players only a little better than someone can give a beating just as discouraging as the best player in the world. Sometimes even a worse beating! So what do you do for a tournament designed to give...

We've all seen it. Some says they're gonna watch something, play something, read something, whatever and someone stops them and goes ohnono before you do this, you gotta do this and this and watch this to have context for this. No no no, you don't play these 3 20 year old games first, you won't get these dozen references!

Or maybe it's more like.... You GOTTA see this movie in the theater. Okay you gotta watch THIS movie, but you can't know ANY SPOILERS don't even look at the poster!! No you c...
