I didn’t like Okami (for about three hours)

Posted on December 20, 2008 by baudattitude

I’ve been playing between two and five hours of Okami a night, and I think I’m about halfway through as of this writing. I’m past the Big Plot Tw… I probably shouldn’t say that.  I’m past what seems to have … Continue reading →

A Winner Is Me

Posted on December 18, 2008 by baudattitude

So, there was a post on Kotaku a few days ago where they mentioned that x soft drink company was running a contest where you could win one of a few different digitally-distributed games, provided you gave them an email … Continue reading →

Pudding, Necromorphs, and the Yen Exchange Rate

Posted on December 17, 2008 by baudattitude

I gave rice pudding another shot, this time taking the leftover coconut rice from the other day and applying it to this recipe, leaving out the raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It worked really well.  I don’t know if I’m going … Continue reading →

In Another Club

Posted on December 16, 2008 by baudattitude

This time, an official club, not an unofficial fraternity like the Brotherhood of the Dead Xboxen, which was the last club I became an – unwilling – member of. No, see, Nintendo finally launched their Club Nintendo points-for-rewards scheme, and … Continue reading →

20 Months Later…

Posted on December 15, 2008 by baudattitude

One of my very first posts was me talking about how I’d gone through the backlog, picked out half-a-dozen of the most critically acclaimed games I owned, and then set all of them aside and played Shenmue instead. To save … Continue reading →

Fear, Expanded:

Posted on December 13, 2008 by baudattitude

Spiky Haired Freaks And Me

Posted on December 12, 2008 by baudattitude

It’s been a bit over a decade since my wife and I played through Final Fantasy VII, but one thing sticks with me. Well, a few things, really.  Chocobo racing, giant nasty sandworms, flower girls meeting unfortunate ends… but mostly … Continue reading →

Then came the expansion…

Posted on December 11, 2008 by baudattitude

I made fun of F.E.A.R., earlier, for not really being all that scary of a game.  I stand by my statements there. The expansion pack, “Extraction Point”, however – THAT is pushing all the right buttons in making me jump.  … Continue reading →

F.E.A.R. and Unicorns

Posted on December 8, 2008 by baudattitude

So, what connection does Monolith’s FPS “F.E.A.R.” have with unicorns? Well, honestly, no connection at all, but I had to stomp down hard on my urge to title this “F.E.A.R. and Loathing”, and I think I deserve some credit for … Continue reading →

One Furry Thing. One Robot. Ten Thousand Bullets.

Posted on December 3, 2008 by baudattitude

I am so going to hell for ripping off THAT tagline. I bought the first Ratchet & Clank game years ago, when it was added to Sony’s Greatest Hits line, because I’d seen people raving about the series and figured … Continue reading →
