I’m a Squid Now

Posted on May 31, 2015 by

  In all honestly, it probably wasn’t worth buying a new console for one game and the promise of four or five games to come, but I don’t have buyer’s remorse yet.  Splatoon is as much manic fun as all … Continue reading →

CoD: Mewtwo

Posted on May 28, 2015 by

I am really bad at playing games in series order. I got introduced to the Call of Duty series with the second installment, enjoyed that enough to buy Modern Warfare within the first week or two of its release – … Continue reading →

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Posted on May 25, 2015 by

Normally I try to come up with clever titles for posts. At first, I considered “The Only Thing That Can Stop A Bad Girl With A Sword Is A Good Girl With A Sword”, but that seemed excessively long. Then … Continue reading →

Posted on May 24, 2015 by

When I got back from China, I set myself a goal of blogging daily for 30 straight days, and today’s post represents me succeeding at that.  This shatters my previous record, which was about three weeks of daily posts. I’ll … Continue reading →

On The Dangers Of Trusting Travel Apps

Posted on May 20, 2015 by

Part of my prepping for Beijing included installing the offline TripAdvisor application on my HiSense tablet, and it turned out to be both stunningly helpful and fiendishly traitorous. To wit: It was marvelous at looking up hotels and restaurants and … Continue reading →

Fly Me To The Moon, And Let Me Slay Among The Stars

Posted on May 19, 2015 by

The last Suda51 game I played was Liberation Maiden, a short but terribly enjoyable 3DS game with an absurd premise and a little cheesecake.  It was fun, but it wasn’t really what I expected from something with the Grasshopper Manufacture … Continue reading →

One Final American Fast Food in China Post

Posted on May 18, 2015 by

This post represents me FINALLY running out of food photos.  I really didn’t eat that many notable things in China, come to think of it.  When I wasn’t experimenting with familiar fast food chains I mostly lived off street vendor … Continue reading →
