Counting down…

Posted on January 12, 2010 by baudattitude

I played through Super Real Mahjong PIII in between Japanese grammar review sessions; it’s a pretty short game. Well, that is, it’s a pretty short game if you change the options.  It only has two opponents, but beating both of … Continue reading →

I am 37.5% pervy.

Posted on January 12, 2010 by baudattitude

I seem to be running through about one mahjong title per day – this is pretty easy when you’re working on games that have, at most, four opponents.  Finished Super Real Mahjong PIV off of the Saturn “Graffiti” compilation disc … Continue reading →

Tetsuooooooo!!!!!

Posted on January 11, 2010 by baudattitude

OK, well, no.  Today’s post is about Akira, but not That Akira.  Today’s Akira is Akira Hayasaka, star of Seta’s Super Real Mahjong PV, a series that – despite being probably one of the more influential Mahjong series out there … Continue reading →

Really, this is quite educational

Posted on January 9, 2010 by baudattitude

I’ve played an awful lot of Mahjong games since 1995.  I got my start with the Suchie-Pai series, which were a great place to start because they really hold your hand when you’re a novice player and tell you what … Continue reading →

Backlog reduction through hardware failure.

Posted on January 7, 2010 by baudattitude

So, I was going to try out a more-or-less foreign genre, that being the Stealth Game.  I’ve never really done well at “sneaky”, though I did enjoy the bits in Beyond Good & Evil, Arkham Asylum, and Deus Ex that … Continue reading →

A New Years Resolution

Posted on January 2, 2010 by baudattitude

At the moment, I have 333 games listed as “unplayed” on backloggery.  That’s even with finishing nearly sixty games this last year. My goal is to, by December 31 of 2010, have this down to 100 or less.  Obviously that’s … Continue reading →

So, how about that Torchlight, huh?

Posted on January 1, 2010 by baudattitude

…yeah So, I spent 18 hours, over 3 or 4 days, playing through Runic Games’ latest, “Torchlight”, which I am told is a quintessential Diablo clone from the makers of the original Diablo or something like that. Anyway, I installed … Continue reading →

The Ten Thousand Deaths of Lara Croft

Posted on December 26, 2009 by baudattitude

It hasn’t been that long, really, since I decided that I should really start trying to play through some of the games that I’d piled up over the years of playing nothing but Everquest. I say “decided”, but the reality … Continue reading →

Getting my “cred” back.

Posted on December 22, 2009 by baudattitude

I didn’t like Braid. This worried me a bit.  I mean, it was probably the most lauded independently-developed game of the last couple years, and I could not make myself interested in it. Was I, I wondered, hopelessly lost to … Continue reading →

I want you to tell all your friends about me.

Posted on December 21, 2009 by baudattitude

It’s my opinion that the absolute best time to have been an animation fan in America was the early 1990s.  Not only was anime starting to really take off, but Western animators were at the top of their game.  We … Continue reading →
