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 →

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.

Wii Played

Posted on December 13, 2009 by baudattitude

One final exam down this morning, another final paper handed in, all I have left to do is sit my Japanese final on Wednesday and I can look forward to a nice winter break. Mind you, in an effort to … Continue reading →

This Game Hates You

Posted on November 20, 2009 by baudattitude
