Random praise for Powerslave

Posted on August 15, 2009 by baudattitude

Ok, so Powerslave is coming along nicely and I’m starting to feel pretty, what’s a good way to put this? Confident in my ability to turn random aggressive polygon monsters into low-resolution piles of pixelated goo. So it threw me … Continue reading →

Purging away…

Posted on August 13, 2009 by baudattitude

As of two days ago, I had four bins of cables / computer parts, neatly labeled as “AV Cables”, “Pasocon Cables”, “Pasocon Parts” and “Mynock Chow”. Now I have two bins.  I condemned an awful lot of S-video cables, Cat-5 … Continue reading →

Great Expectations

Posted on August 10, 2009 by baudattitude

I quite like Magic Knight Rayearth – the first TV series, that is; I haven’t seen the sequel or the OVA remake.  It’s got a hella catchy OP song, CLAMP art, Mokona, and one of the biggest I-Did-Not-See-That-Coming plot twists … Continue reading →

QTEs Unleashed

Posted on August 8, 2009 by baudattitude

I finished The Force Unleashed this morning, at about 3AM, with my wife cheering me on, and I have to say that it had a pretty neat story – if it’s canon, anyway, and I’m given to understand that the … Continue reading →

Posted on August 6, 2009 by baudattitude

After playing through a couple of rather dark PC games, I was going to give the Saturn action RPG “Magic Knight Rayearth” a try.  I own the thing twice over, after all – I bought the domestic version when it … Continue reading →

Game: Subtitle

Posted on August 5, 2009 by baudattitude

After finishing Project: Snowblind, I found myself reflecting on the title, which is just one step above “FPS” printed in bold black letters on a white box. There’s an awful lot of PC FPS games with titles consisting of “Name: … Continue reading →

A study in contrasts:

Posted on August 3, 2009 by baudattitude

I finished up a pair of games over the last few days, which would feel like more of an accomplishment if I didn’t have over 500 games left in my “play this someday” stack. I don’t mean to imply that … Continue reading →

Full on scary backlog numbers:

Posted on July 19, 2009 by baudattitude

I found a most excellent site that allowed me to enter and track my games backlog. You can see the results here. I need to tweak these a bit, because there are some games in it that aren’t mine, or … Continue reading →

More Oneechanbara Goodness

Posted on July 17, 2009 by baudattitude

I have now finished two, count them, two whole games on the Wii.  That brings my average up to just under 1 per year.  I should play through another one before next April. Anyway. After Klonoa, which was a nice … Continue reading →

PCE on PSP? Sony, I owe you an apology.

Posted on July 15, 2009 by baudattitude

I enjoy me a good bit of Sony bashing as much as the next guy, perhaps more. Perhaps a lot more. That said, their recent attempt to catch up in the downloadable retro game biz wins points with me simply … Continue reading →
