It’s 2017, and I’m finally done with UMDs.

Posted on June 9, 2017 by baudattitude

I’d like to say “Done with PSP games”, but I still have four PSP games in the backlog.  They’re all PSN download versions, though, so I get to pack away both my Ceramic White PSP-1000 and my Lilac PSP-3000 and … Continue reading →

It’s 2017, and I’m finally done with PS2 games.

In which, I sink into new depravities.

Criminal Girls

Posted on May 5, 2017 by baudattitude

All Souled Out

Posted on April 30, 2017 by baudattitude

So, about sixty hours over the last couple weeks sunk into re-playing Dark Souls II because I wanted to check out the changes for the Scholar of the First Sin edition and I wanted to play the three DLC expansions … Continue reading →

I’m not playing an MMO

Posted on April 23, 2017 by baudattitude
