Be the Captain…

Posted on October 22, 2008 by baudattitude

It is no coincidence that the last Star Trek licensed game I played was Star Trek : Strategic Operations Simulator, a vector graphics arcade game released in 1982.  For some reason, the series has a reputation for attracting the worst … Continue reading →

A Tale of Guns and Demons and Pleated Skirts

Posted on October 20, 2008 by baudattitude

I was terribly tempted to claim that, upon returning Bioshock to the shelf, I took the next game off the shelf to play, and that game was Bullet Witch. To be perfectly honest, though, if I’d done that, I would … Continue reading →

Would you kindly…

…share in my sense of accomplishment? It took staying up far, far too late, but I am done with Rapture, and of course got the “mega happy” ending because I’m such a swell guy. Enough good things have been said … Continue reading →

I TOTALLY did not see that coming

A Little TOO close to Flatout

Posted on October 14, 2008 by baudattitude

Shocking Bio, Crashing Ninja

Posted on October 13, 2008 by baudattitude

Playing through Omegane Teacher until I’d unlocked everything restored enough of my pervy fanboy cred that I felt justified in installing Bioshock and giving it a try. Amazingly, it’s not that I bought Bioshock at launch for full price and … Continue reading →

OK, now, THIS is shameless pandering.

Posted on October 10, 2008 by baudattitude

The concept of “unlockables” in games has been around since, oh, shortly after some bearded guy in California got the bright idea to simulate table tennis with a CRT and a handful of discrete logic ICs. As far as rewards … Continue reading →

Double Your Ninja, Double Your Fun

Posted on October 10, 2008 by baudattitude

I don’t think that will ever win any awards as an advertising jingle, but it’s a good enough motto to live by. Izuna 2 certainly tries to live by it, and I’m trying to decide whether that’s a good thing … Continue reading →

I have not lost my way.

Posted on October 9, 2008 by baudattitude

It has not escaped my attention that, with all the dungeon sieging and dooming and quaking and racing of late, I have become seriously at risk of losing my “pervy fanboy” credentials.  The occasional nekomimi-themed wallpaper doesn’t do much to … Continue reading →

Sometimes, Wednesdays Suck.

Posted on October 8, 2008 by baudattitude

Got up this morning a little after seven, went to work, worked a full day, went to school for an appointment with my advisor to make sure I’m on track to graduate in the spring.  Finished going over what credits … Continue reading →
