Posted on May 20, 2012 by baudattitude

I’ve been really enjoying Montowers, the game I mentioned last week, despite some minor frustrations.  The monsters I’m taming and summoning are starting to take over 2 hours to summon, now, and I’m having to do a lot more resource … Continue reading →

I gather that I’m supposed to catch all of these.

I wasn’t really part of the Pokemon generation.  When the show started airing in Japan, I was living in Los Angeles which was home to several Japanese video stores, so I saw the first six or so episodes, bought some … Continue reading →

Mind the iGAP

Posted on May 16, 2012 by baudattitude

A few years ago, upon the disturbing realization that I’d hand-imported a PSP from Japan just so I could have it in white, then bought a bunch of games for it that I hadn’t really played, I embarked upon what … Continue reading →

Done Defending

Posted on May 15, 2012 by baudattitude

I finished Fantasy Defense tonight, marking the first time that I’ve played a “serious” iOS game to completion, and I’m starting to see what the doomsayers are talking about when they question the future of dedicated gaming handhelds.  I spent … Continue reading →

In which, I play a questionable iPad game.

Posted on May 9, 2012 by baudattitude

Several months ago, when the iPad 2 was released, I inherited my wife’s old iPad 1. This is a pretty normal way for me to get hardware, by the way, through the hand-me-down process.  It’s a beautiful thing. Anyway, I … Continue reading →

Bang for the buck.

Posted on May 6, 2012 by baudattitude

I think I’ll be moving Blades of Time off of my active play stack and in to the category of games I boot up when there’s a Steam sale and a related spike in population.  I’ve had a ton of … Continue reading →

I’ve mended something again! Also, unexpected uses for a potholder.

Posted on May 6, 2012 by baudattitude

As I mentioned about a month ago, my PS3 stopped reading discs.  This was vexing for a couple of reasons, but primarily because it was a launch 60GB PS3 with PS2 backwards compatibility. Sony wants $150 to fix these, and … Continue reading →

Oh, I get it, it was his SLED

Posted on May 5, 2012 by baudattitude

A few years ago, in an attempt to be social and meet other humans, I attended a few – half a dozen or so, probably – episodes of an anime club. It didn’t turn out to be very interactive.  The … Continue reading →

Superpowers, rather atypical:

Posted on May 1, 2012 by baudattitude

When I was a young lad – and this is somewhat dating myself – one of the first comics I owned was this fine issue of DC Comics Presents, which features two guys, who both like to wear their underwear … Continue reading →

Blades of Time

Posted on April 26, 2012 by baudattitude

Three years ago, I played and rather enjoyed the ever-so-slightly-questionable 3d brawler X-Blades. It wasn’t a perfect game by any means, or even necessarily very good, but it let me run through some very impressive scenery and beat stuff up … Continue reading →
