she still lies trapped within the system

Posted on September 21, 2007 by baudattitude

…Well, that’s what the game SAID. Now, I will stop being oh-so-enigmatic with my obscure quotes and explain. Before explaining, though: I finished Trace Memory. I missed a couple of things along the way, so even though I completed the … Continue reading →

Time for a little less FPS in my diet, also: pork.

Posted on September 16, 2007 by baudattitude

I took a look back and realized that 5 of the last 6 games I’ve played have been first-person shooters, so it’s time for a change of genre. I’m giving Trace Memory a shot. It’s a point-and-click style adventure game … Continue reading →

Being behind the times… not a bad thing.

Posted on September 15, 2007 by baudattitude

…because, I tell you, if I’d purchased and played Halo 2 back in 2004, I’d have been fuming for 3 years about that “ending.” That’s a little harsh, I guess. I’ve seen and read a lot worse cliffhangers, and some … Continue reading →

So I hear there’s this game called Halo.

Nobody minds when you shoot Nazis

Random bits of swag from Japan

Posted on August 30, 2007 by baudattitude

I have an Acer laptop – I bought it because it was a) really quite inexpensive, b) had a huge (17″) widescreen display and c) had a built-in numeric keypad. Last weekend we noticed that CompUSA had the newer model … Continue reading →

That there, that was some pretty good Dark.

Posted on August 30, 2007 by baudattitude

I don’t know as I’d call it Perfect, but it was pretty good. One of the absolute worst “money spent” to “games completed” ratios I’ve ever had was buying a Nintendo 64. It did have some quality games – I … Continue reading →

Graphical overloads come in pairs.

Posted on August 30, 2007 by baudattitude

I’ll preface this with: I am a cranky old bastard who doesn’t like the idea of buying games as download versions, because having physical media around makes me feel all secure and comfortable and safe and stuff. On the other … Continue reading →

This will be a day long remembered…

Posted on August 26, 2007 by baudattitude
