Posted on January 31, 2017 by baudattitude

One of the first manga series I was introduced to, wayyyyy back in the early 90s, was “Ushio and Tora”, a series about a young lad who is supposed to take over the family shrine and who has to put … Continue reading →

I Kept Waiting For The Shark

Posted on January 30, 2017 by baudattitude

Right, then.  Something a little different from the norm to talk about tonight. “One Last Chance” is a bit of an odd duck as visual novels go.  It’s originally in English, features voice acting, has characters who are actually in … Continue reading →

I Was Young, I Needed The Page Views

So I played through The Typing of the Dead: Overkill a couple of nights ago.  I could talk about that.  But, I also see the google search terms that lead people to find this blog… and, well, maybe I should … Continue reading →

I don’t THINK this was intentional

Posted on January 26, 2017 by baudattitude

In the last post, I not-so-humbly bragged about beating every Ys Origin boss on the first try.  That did not hold up – even excluding the boss you’re SUPPOSED to lose to, I took a few dirt naps before the … Continue reading →

Ys-y Like Sunday Morning

Posted on January 21, 2017 by baudattitude

So, my third Ys game down in the last few days, leaving only the prequel “Ys: Origin” sitting in my Steam library.  I’m honestly not sure where that one is intended to be played, but I’ll be playing that one … Continue reading →

On The Fine Art Of Item Descriptions

Posted on January 18, 2017 by baudattitude

I decided to follow up Ys Chronicles+ with Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and it’s a pretty huge jump in visuals – rather than the sprite-based artwork, it’s all polygons and looks stunning on the Surface 3.  It’s also about … Continue reading →

I got a peaceful, Ys-y feelin’

Posted on January 15, 2017 by baudattitude

Achievement Name: Appropriate

Posted on January 4, 2017 by baudattitude

Getting from prestige 1 to prestige 2 took about 2 weeks, and came with an achievement that really summed up my thoughts on the whole process: Taking the “Grand Marshal’s Medal of Valor” back to the king in Stormwind got … Continue reading →

What the well-dressed Draenei is wearing this season

Posted on January 1, 2017 by baudattitude

WoW PvP continues to be an unbalanced and aggravating mess at times, but still offers the occasional feeling of triumph that makes the losses less important.  My goal is to get to Prestige rank 2 and unlock a new look … Continue reading →
