Cult of Personality Test

Posted on July 27, 2015 by baudattitude

Pretty much every job I’ve had in the last decade has had me take a Myers-Briggs test, and I always score as an INTJ.  It’s nice to be predictable, I guess. It’s not a terribly useful thing to know about … Continue reading →

Posted on July 24, 2015 by baudattitude

I have now purchased Ninja Gaiden for the third time, this time in the form of a $6.39 copy of Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3.  At some point, I am expecting my wife and friends to stage an intervention. … Continue reading →

Miku is a harsh mistress

Posted on July 23, 2015 by baudattitude

I’m usually playing one or two console/PC games and one portable game at any given time, so I needed a new walkabout title after finishing Spirit Camera. Somehow, Project Diva f 2nd leapt off the shelf and wound up in … Continue reading →

Speed Camera

Posted on July 19, 2015 by baudattitude

When I originally bought my 3DS, the store I was in didn’t have Kingdom Hearts in stock, and I felt silly leaving without any games, and I’ve always had a fondness for the Fatal Frame games, so I bought Spirit … Continue reading →

Go Team?

Posted on July 19, 2015 by baudattitude

I couldn’t really get in to the Roller Coaster vs. Water Slide argument, so I picked Team Roller Coaster and played long enough to rank up a couple of times.  I didn’t have enough emotional attachment to the issue to … Continue reading →

This game shouldn’t exist

Posted on July 18, 2015 by baudattitude

I started trying to summarize Hyperdimension: Neptunia Re;Birth, and after several false starts I just had to give up.  It’s one of those games where the target audience knows they need it the moment they see it, and anyone outside … Continue reading →

Illithids, Beholders, and Yuan-ti, Oh My

Posted on July 15, 2015 by baudattitude

I needed something a little less creepy after Silent Hill 4. Back in 2008, my wife and I happily button-mashed our way through Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, a game which I am given to understand is viewed as something of … Continue reading →

Silent Hill 4: Maison Ikkoku, Hell-Dimension Edition

Posted on July 14, 2015 by baudattitude

In retrospect, it was pretty ironic to have chosen this last week to play Silent Hill 4. It’s not that I was ACTUALLY kept inside my house by mysterious chains and sealed windows, but being stuck inside for several days … Continue reading →

Wooooo cats

Posted on July 5, 2015 by baudattitude

I’m choosing to believe that win% is the only metric that matters, and that Nintendo’s weird fudging of the numbers to put dogs on top is simply evidence that someone in the decision-making hierarchy couldn’t stand to see their precious … Continue reading →
