So, Gunvalkyrie, eh?

Posted on April 15, 2012 by baudattitude

A few days ago, I made the mistake of mentioning how the control scheme for the new Yar’s Revenge reminded me of Gunvalkyrie, Smilebit’s 2002 3rd-person shooter and hidden-object game. Well, technically, the only part of the game that’s a … Continue reading →

Yar’s Revenge (have you played Atari today?)

Posted on April 11, 2012 by baudattitude

As a grown man of a certain age, I have a certain fondness for the Atari 2600 era of gaming. I never owned one as a youth, but spent endless hours playing on the console whenever the opportunity arose, usually … Continue reading →

Better than the Movie

Posted on April 1, 2012 by baudattitude

Last year’s Green Lantern movie was a bit of a confusing mess, trying to mash the highlights of a character with 50 years of backstory into 2 hours and failing miserably in the process. Granted, Green Lantern is one of … Continue reading →

Steam Sales are fantastic things.  I mean, sure, they’ve left me with a virtual backlog that beggars belief, and they’ve made me give companies money for some truly questionable bits of software, but they’ve also made me take a chance … Continue reading →

I think that “what if?” is one of the most fundamental human questions, like “who am I?” or “what is my purpose in life?” There are a ton of What Ifs in life, like “what would happen if Superman fought … Continue reading →

Once more into the F2P world.

Posted on November 7, 2011 by baudattitude

A few months back, I tried my hand at a free-to-play MMO, Dungeons and Dragons Online. By level 3, I’d been in some dungeons, and I’d seen a dragon, so really it lived up to the name.  I am given … Continue reading →

Keeping a gameworld alive

Posted on September 14, 2011 by baudattitude

To Heart 2: A Minor Snag

Posted on August 20, 2011 by baudattitude

I’m so very proud of myself; I’ve actually made it through the PROLOGUE in ToHeart2.  That’s, oh, maybe a hundredth of the way thorough the game and it’s taken me 3 hours or so of fervent dictionary use. Playing a … Continue reading →

Living In Just One Mind

Posted on August 17, 2011 by baudattitude
