Posted on May 28, 2019 by

Nioh was one of my favorite games of 2017, and the sequel announcement during last year’s E3 was a very pleasant surprise.  With From Software taking a well-deserved break from new Souls games, and Code Vein seemingly AWOL, it looks … Continue reading →

Ashen: I couldn’t think of a funny post title.

Posted on January 6, 2019 by

Let’s be clear.  I had a wide variety of post titles to choose between, but in the end I couldn’t decide between making a funny play on words involving “ash” or making a Souls reference that would be ever-so-clever but … Continue reading →

Posted on December 28, 2018 by

Coming up on the end of the year here, and I’m ending 2018 in the exact way I ended 2017 – playing Koei Tecmo’s Nioh.  I bought the expansions in, oh, March or so and I had been putting off … Continue reading →

On Cultural Exchange

Posted on September 15, 2018 by

A few days ago, I mentioned that I’d thrown in my Japanese copy of Dark Souls to unwind after a little bit of a vexing day.  It wasn’t one of my more accessible posts, since I was talking about trophies … Continue reading →

Posted on September 10, 2018 by

After finishing my Mass Effect trilogy replay – I’ll have a post about that in a few days – I was looking through my backlog for inspiration and realized that I had a bunch of games on the PS3 that … Continue reading →

I played some Dark Souls.

Posted on June 10, 2018 by

It was OK. I didn’t start the Dark Souls remaster intending to go all cheevo-mad, but the problem was that the very first Channeler – the one in Undead Parish – decided to drop the Channeler’s Trident.  It was kind … Continue reading →

Posted on May 25, 2018 by

So.  Dark Souls: Remastered comes out tomorrow, and I preordered the PS4 version ages ago.  Of course, between people who got their copies early and people who bought the PC version off Steam when it launched early, there are an … Continue reading →
