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 →

Back to Stabbing Mans

Posted on September 8, 2010 by baudattitude

So, Assassin’s Creed came out for the 2007 holidays, I think I got it as a birthday or holiday gift sometime in 2008, finally played it in August of 2009.  For me, that’s actually almost being up-to-date with a series. … Continue reading →

The Movie of the Game

Posted on September 6, 2010 by baudattitude

I have a habit after playing a game.  Once the ending credits roll and I’ve had a little time to reflect on how much fun or unfun it was, THEN I read reviews of it. Some people would say that … Continue reading →

Things that go bounce in the night

Posted on September 5, 2010 by baudattitude

It’s been a bad month for video game Nazis. Choosing to play through Bloodrayne made thematic sense; it’s a natural follow-up to both Bayonetta and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.  Like Bayonetta, it panders pretty heavily to base male instinct, and … Continue reading →

So about Bayonetta…

Posted on September 3, 2010 by baudattitude

Finished “Bayonetta” this afternoon.  Having done so, I’m very glad that I took the advice of the community and ratcheted the difficulty down a notch, to “Easy” (although there is a “Very Easy” difficulty that I didn’t have to stoop … Continue reading →

In which I purchase officially licensed “Hannah Montana” merchandise.

Posted on September 1, 2010 by baudattitude

Let’s be perfectly clear:  I’m not a fan of Hannah Montana.  That isn’t to say that I have anything against the show, I’ve never seen it and I’m not exactly in the target demographic so I really don’t have an … Continue reading →

Finding my limits

Posted on August 29, 2010 by baudattitude

The biggest purchase I made in Japan was an Xbox 360S, partially because my US 360 is four years old and will presumably die any day now but mostly because I wanted to play Japanese-only releases of shooters and Idolmaster … Continue reading →

This will be a day long remembered

Posted on August 27, 2010 by baudattitude

Lucky find at Goodwill today. It may be a bit of a challenge making all of these work in a modern operating system, mind you, but I’m looking forward to it.

Achtung, Buddy

Posted on August 27, 2010 by baudattitude

Unfortunately for the Great Backlog Project, I didn’t play many video games for the last couple of months while I was in Japan.  Even worse for aforementioned Great Backlog Project, I did buy quite a few. However, I have been … Continue reading →
