I tried to play a silly meme game, and wound up accidentally learning something.

Posted on September 7, 2026 by baudattitude

So, X – or at least the feed served up to me by the Almighty Algorithm – has been buzzing about a very silly “jump rope roguelike” called Scarlet Skips recently. I think that’s partially because the concept of a … Continue reading →

Brave X Junction: In which, I play Blackjack for ten hours straight.

Posted on September 6, 2026 by baudattitude

Yes, the “X” is part of the name.  I assume that it’s silent, like the X in Hunter X Hunter, Spy X Family or Highschool DXD.  I really do wonder where this style of naming came from, sometimes.  It’s not … Continue reading →

So nice, we remastered it twice?

Posted on August 24, 2026 by baudattitude

Twice may not be right?  There’s an argument to be made that Halo: Campaign Evolved is actually the third remaster of the Xbox original, but I’m going to choose to think of the version from the Master Chief collection as … Continue reading →

“My 9 Games” and what they say

Posted on August 23, 2026 by baudattitude

Stumbled across an interesting site today, “My 9 Games”, which is a site where you go and choose the 9 most influential video games in your life.  I’d seen the output from it on X a bunch of times but … Continue reading →

This feels wrong.

Posted on August 19, 2026 by baudattitude

This is, I think, my fourth time playing through the original Halo campaign – though in a variety of ways over the years.  There was a run-through of the original back in 2007, then I used the “Anniversary” remake as … Continue reading →

We have God of War at home?

Posted on August 18, 2026 by baudattitude

I used to spend a regrettable amount of money on import gaming stores, all the way back to the Bad Old Days when I would justify dropping a hundred US dollars on an import copy of Toshinden for the Playstation … Continue reading →

My Little Soulslike Can’t Be This Cute

Posted on August 16, 2026 by baudattitude

After finishing Black Flag Resynced and Battlefield 6, then bouncing pretty hard off a couple of games that didn’t hook me, I needed something light and fluffy and that didn’t take up a lot of time. I spent some time … Continue reading →

More like “Battlefield: Six Hours,” amirite?

Posted on August 7, 2026 by baudattitude

I really shouldn’t make fun of the length of the Battlefield 6 campaign, because knowing that it had a short campaign was one of the motivating factors in checking it out from the local public library.  I also don’t think … Continue reading →

Bigger. Blacker. More Creeds.

Posted on August 1, 2026 by baudattitude

After about 60 hours by the in-game clock, or nearly 70 by the PS5 dashboard, I think I can safely say I got my money’s worth from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag: Resynced. That doesn’t look right.  I think I should … Continue reading →

2026: Year of the remake?

Posted on July 20, 2026 by baudattitude

I’ve been doing much better about playing the games I buy more or less when I buy them, and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag: Resynced is the latest example of this, in that I preordered it, had the disc delivered on … Continue reading →
