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 →

Mind: Blown

Posted on July 19, 2015 by baudattitude

I mentioned yesterday that I’d tried to play Ninja Gaiden before.  Three times, in fact, and more-or-less in the following sequence: 2004 – while visiting a friend, he invites me to try this brand new game which he has just … 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 →

Illithids, Beholders, and Yuan-ti, Oh My

Posted on July 15, 2015 by baudattitude

Silent Hill 4: Maison Ikkoku, Hell-Dimension Edition

Posted on July 14, 2015 by baudattitude

Begun, The Turf Wars Have

Posted on July 4, 2015 by baudattitude

To celebrate, Inkopolis Plaza got a new coat of, um.  Paint?  Ink? It looks pretty, anyway.  I’m not much for the Splatfest battle music, but a change of pace never hurt. After a dozen or so matches, I’m up to … Continue reading →

EDF! EDF! EDF!

Posted on July 1, 2015 by baudattitude
