Bigger. Blacker. More Creeds.

Posted on August 1, 2026 by baudattitude

After about 60 hours by the in-game clock, or nearly 70 by the PS5 dashboard, I think I can safely say I got my money’s worth from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag: Resynced. That doesn’t look right.  I think I should … Continue reading →

Superpowers, convenient:

Posted on July 27, 2026 by baudattitude

Still playing Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag: Resynced.  Still very good!  But, that’s not the topic of today’s post.  Today, we explore a useful superpower. Some background: Several years ago, in the throes of a midlife crisis, I bought a Kymco … Continue reading →

2026: Year of the remake?

Posted on July 20, 2026 by baudattitude

I’ve been doing much better about playing the games I buy more or less when I buy them, and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag: Resynced is the latest example of this, in that I preordered it, had the disc delivered on … Continue reading →

Do not question my commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Posted on July 7, 2026 by baudattitude

OK, back to wholesome fare.  Fighting evil with the power of Sparkle. No, really. I’ve kind of gotten into the habit of picking up first party Nintendo releases whenever I go to Japan.  While I’m not a superfan of all … Continue reading →

Occasionally, I like to read through recent posts to remind myself of what I’ve been up to.  The answer is usually “wasting my life away playing video games” but realistically I’m well into middle age and starting to think it … Continue reading →

Trophy chasing and Ubisoft generosity

Posted on July 4, 2026 by baudattitude

Following up my play through of the original Assassin’s Creed game a few weeks back by downloading the free expansion for Assassin’s Creed Mirage made perfect sense.  Basim may not have the charisma of an Ezio, Kassandra or Bayek, but … Continue reading →

Up in the Air, Junior Birdman

Posted on June 24, 2026 by baudattitude

We’re just coming out of Peak Videogame Hype Season, and of course I dutifully watched the States of Play and the Directs and the ..whatever the other things were.  There were a lot of neat trailers – I’m especially looking … Continue reading →

Questionable Uses of my Spare Time

Posted on June 14, 2026 by baudattitude

A few years back, I saw a random forum thread recommending “Terminator: Resistance”, though admittedly “recommending” is probably an optimistic way to put it.  The basic thesis of the starting post was that it was admittedly a pretty mid game … Continue reading →

Fun with History

Posted on June 6, 2026 by baudattitude

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the Assassin’s Creed games. I play most of them, though usually a couple of years after release.  I kind of bounced off of Valhalla and I skipped Shadows, but I’m looking … Continue reading →

Today I met the Cell Whisperer.

Posted on May 29, 2026 by baudattitude

One of my favorite gags in media is where the unassuming looking guy that people either make fun of or ignore turns out to be a Secret Master of some art. Today I finally met one. Some backstory:  A few … Continue reading →
