I’m still a man, really.

The Maid Uniform and Machinegun

Posted on March 20, 2008 by baudattitude

I usually try to come up with clever post titles, but how on earth do I out-clever a game title like that? Anyway: The Maid Uniform and Machinegun, #105 in the “Simple 2000” series. Do I NEED to say this … Continue reading →

Being a purist; being let down.

Posted on March 20, 2008 by baudattitude

My introduction to bullet-hell style shooters came a few years ago in the form of a brutally localized game called “Mobile Light Force 2” It is a translation, and I use the term quite loosely, of Shikigami no Shiro.  I … Continue reading →

Curse You, Cowbear Level…

Posted on January 3, 2008 by baudattitude

I feel a little ashamed about this next, for a few reasons: 1) I bought it at launch in 2005. At least it was only $30. 2) After buying it, I then played the previous game in the series, waited … Continue reading →

Platforming glee.

Posted on January 1, 2008 by baudattitude

I don’t know if I’ve ever finished two games on the same day before, but before I went out and bought Call of Duty 4 this afternoon, I tackled the last levels of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. Thankfully, … Continue reading →

Not having school is nice. It lets you blow stuff up.

Posted on December 28, 2007 by baudattitude

Backlog: The Listmaking

Posted on October 12, 2007 by baudattitude

This isn’t really a “to-do” list that is going to happen any time in the near future. Honestly, keeping on top of my three classes is pushing me hard enough, much less getting ready for the JLPT in December. The … Continue reading →

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 →

Giant bugs and hoppy bunnies

Posted on June 3, 2007 by baudattitude

I came *this* close to having another game on the “played through” pile Saturday. I don’t often have people over – I have lots of friends who I’ve known for years and share interests with, but most of them live … Continue reading →

Shine on…

Posted on May 10, 2007 by baudattitude
