More gushing about Splatoon

Posted on June 5, 2015 by baudattitude

I’ve been playing at least 90 minutes of Splatoon every night for the last week, and I really can’t say enough nice things about it.  I’ve gotten up to level 12 in the multiplayer, finished the first two sets of … Continue reading →

Welp, liberated France.

Posted on June 4, 2015 by baudattitude

After three play sessions, I wrapped up Call of Duty 3 tonight. It did have a few less-than-stellar moments scattered throughout.  Treyarch felt compelled, for some reason, to put little QTE segments in when you were doing stuff like placing … Continue reading →

3 CoD Monte

Posted on June 2, 2015 by baudattitude

For a guy who doesn’t play a lot of military-themed shooters, I’ve been hitting the Call of Duty series pretty hard this week.  It’s a good way to grind through the backlog, and it’s interesting seeing how the game series … Continue reading →

What the Well-Armed Inkling Is Packing This Season

Posted on June 1, 2015 by baudattitude

OK, so while I may not have any nostalgia surrounding Nintendo CHARACTERS of yore, I do have fond memories of the NES hardware.  The original Zapper light gun, in particular, had a particularly satisfying heft and a trigger action – … Continue reading →

Is the Plural “Calls of Duty” or “Call of Duties” ?

Posted on June 1, 2015 by baudattitude

I am rapidly running out of Call of Duty games.  Knocking out MW3 and BLOPs in the last few days leaves me with only Call of Duty 3 – the rather poorly-received console-exclusive entry in the series – and the … Continue reading →

I’m a Squid Now

Posted on May 31, 2015 by baudattitude

  In all honestly, it probably wasn’t worth buying a new console for one game and the promise of four or five games to come, but I don’t have buyer’s remorse yet.  Splatoon is as much manic fun as all … Continue reading →

CoD: Mewtwo

Posted on May 28, 2015 by baudattitude

I am really bad at playing games in series order. I got introduced to the Call of Duty series with the second installment, enjoyed that enough to buy Modern Warfare within the first week or two of its release – … Continue reading →

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Posted on May 25, 2015 by baudattitude

Normally I try to come up with clever titles for posts. At first, I considered “The Only Thing That Can Stop A Bad Girl With A Sword Is A Good Girl With A Sword”, but that seemed excessively long. Then … Continue reading →

Hard Reset – No Paperclip Required

Posted on May 24, 2015 by baudattitude

Normally I consider a game’s story and setting to be more important than the actual mechanics. Hard Reset proved a very notable exception to this rule, because it does not have a deep story.  It’s more like “Once upon a … Continue reading →

Fatal Frame 4 / Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse

Posted on May 22, 2015 by baudattitude

I am utter crap at playing games in a timely fashion, and also pretty terrible at playing series in order. Case in point: The Fatal Frame / Zero series.  I bought the second game in December of 2004, actually played … Continue reading →
