Posted on February 3, 2017 by baudattitude

On Amazon Recommendations

Posted on February 3, 2017 by baudattitude

I shop at Amazon a lot.  Like, seriously, A LOT, especially as I work weird hours lately and am not awake when most of the stores are.  They are not making any money off my Prime subscription, I tell you … Continue reading →

I Am Bad At Playing Games

Posted on February 2, 2017 by baudattitude

Klonoa: Empire of Dreams has possibly the worst North American release date of any game ever. It came out on 9/11/2001, and I’m pretty sure that the last thing on anyone’s mind that day was checking the new release racks. … Continue reading →

There was a new Star Wars movie last year.  It was pretty good, and made a lot of money.  There were a couple of Marvel movies, again good and very profitable.  Even DC, bless their hearts, did the best they … Continue reading →

I Kept Waiting For The Shark

Posted on January 30, 2017 by baudattitude

Right, then.  Something a little different from the norm to talk about tonight. “One Last Chance” is a bit of an odd duck as visual novels go.  It’s originally in English, features voice acting, has characters who are actually in … Continue reading →

I Was Young, I Needed The Page Views

Posted on January 29, 2017 by baudattitude

So I played through The Typing of the Dead: Overkill a couple of nights ago.  I could talk about that.  But, I also see the google search terms that lead people to find this blog… and, well, maybe I should … Continue reading →

I don’t THINK this was intentional

Posted on January 26, 2017 by baudattitude

In the last post, I not-so-humbly bragged about beating every Ys Origin boss on the first try.  That did not hold up – even excluding the boss you’re SUPPOSED to lose to, I took a few dirt naps before the … Continue reading →

The Only Hit Point That Matters

Posted on January 22, 2017 by baudattitude
