It’s hard being #2

Posted on December 12, 2010 by baudattitude

This last month has been absolutely nuts, school-wise. As an aside, I had an English teacher, back in high school, who I didn’t especially like and who absolutely deplored the practice of appending “-wise” to the end of nouns, and … Continue reading →

You know, the problem with riffing on Dickens for a post title is that it pushes the Lit Geek button, the one that says, “OK, now we go with the ‘It was the best of games, it was the worst … Continue reading →

You need to spend $10 right now.

Posted on September 29, 2010 by baudattitude

For the record, I had originally intended to entitle this post “Buy it, Fanboy”, but then I couldn’t remember where I’d gotten that phrase from so I had to google it and well… …I’m a bit ashamed. I think the … Continue reading →

Assassin’s Creed II: The Creedening

Posted on September 28, 2010 by baudattitude

So, I said about a week ago that I’d be talking about Assassin’s Creed in a couple of days, but it turns out that I was wrong about that by a few days. For the record, I did manage 4 … Continue reading →

PoP: The Forgotten Sands: Epilogue

Posted on September 17, 2010 by baudattitude

Well, Forgotten Sands DID add a companion for the last couple of chapters and DID add a fair bit of banter, so my complaints from yesterday did get addressed somewhat. I’m still going to rank it as my third-favorite, but … Continue reading →

Prince of Persia: Now With Less Banter

Posted on September 16, 2010 by baudattitude

I seem to have a yearly ritual going where I play through a game from the Prince of Persia series.  2008 was Sands of Time, 2009 was, uh, the 2008 “Prince of Persia”, and 2010 is Prince of Persia: The … Continue reading →

Yeah, we’ll just mark this one off and move on.

Posted on September 14, 2010 by baudattitude

So, after putting Idol Janshi wo Tsukucchaou to bed, I had a couple of Dreamcast titles left that weren’t RPGs, and I figured that playing through one or both of them might be a good idea. I chose Jet Grind … Continue reading →

About that resolution…

Posted on September 13, 2010 by baudattitude

A few days ago, I mentioned that I’d missed my goal of working through my Dreamcast backlog by 9/9/2010, and that was apparently sufficient shame to convince me to go back and boot up the little white box and play … Continue reading →

A Rather Decent Sequel

Posted on September 10, 2010 by baudattitude

About a week ago, I finished up Bloodrayne.  It wasn’t a particularly great game – it had a bad case of Ugly First Level Syndrome, for a start, and character animation was pretty atrocious, and the story went all the … Continue reading →
