Two More Residents Evil Down.

Posted on November 29, 2025 by baudattitude

To continue from my last post on everyone’s favorite zombie fighting series, I can confirm that Resident Evil 5 WAS, in fact, a bit of a step down from Resident Evil 4.  It’s not really an entirely fair comparison, of … Continue reading →

I played some more Fire Emblem

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude

I think that title is read as “Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia” but I guess it’s possible that “Echoes” goes at the end.  If I had the box it might be more clear, but I bought it off the … Continue reading →

The fading days of StreetPass

Posted on November 12, 2023 by baudattitude

One of my favorite features of the 3DS was “StreetPass”, which let your 3DS check in with any nearby 3DS systems and exchange a little greeting which included your Mii, what you’d been playing lately, and a little greeting.  Some … Continue reading →

I cleared my backlog. (Now what?)

Posted on August 3, 2020 by baudattitude

OK, it took a global pandemic AND admitting that I owned dozens-if-not-hundreds of games that I needed to put on the metaphorical “never going to play this” pile, but I finally achieved this: If it weren’t for Backloggery, I doubt … Continue reading →

YOU LIKE DRAGONS?

Posted on May 27, 2020 by baudattitude

Compared to the original DS, I never really made my 3DS into a constant pocket companion.  By the time I’d owned one for a couple of years, I had to admit that I’d spent far more time collecting puzzle pieces … Continue reading →

Fire Emblem: Chrom has his priorities straight

Posted on May 22, 2020 by baudattitude

Thanks to the combined forces of Corona-chan, heavy rains locally, and a rapidly-dwindling work ethic, I have been getting some significant work done on pruning the backlog. The most recent “big” game I’ve finished was Assassin’s Creed: Origins, which was … Continue reading →

I am not going to be the very best, like no one ever was

Posted on February 2, 2020 by baudattitude

I’m about three hours into Pokémon Black “Version 2” and have passed the first gym. It was a god-damned virtual bloodbath.  I’m not good at this.  On the other hand, the stuff I am fighting now that I am past … Continue reading →

Once more, unto the tall grass

Posted on January 29, 2020 by baudattitude

I don’t have a ton of history with the Pokémon franchise, but there is just so damn much fan art based on it that it’s hard to avoid tripping across it here and there – and once you’ve seen the … Continue reading →

I just played, like, 75 hours of Fire Emblem.

Posted on April 8, 2019 by baudattitude

So, the last couple of years have seen me trying out various Nintendo franchises, generally for the first time ever.  Some of these – Mario Odyssey and 3D World, Pokemon Moon, Breath of the Wild, Metroid Other M, Mario Kart … Continue reading →

Is it still OK to save princesses?

Posted on September 24, 2017 by baudattitude

I have a weird relationship with most of Nintendo’s big franchises.  I started gaming in arcades in the late 70s, bought my first home computer in 1982 or so, and completely failed to notice that there WAS an industry crash … Continue reading →
