Curse you, Penguin-hugging girl.

I can’t figure out how to unlock Miyuri in the free battle mode in Suchie Pai III Remix for the DS. Apart from that, I’ve beaten the game with every character and gotten their “good” ending, so I think I … Continue reading

We hope you’ve enjoyed our game. We’ll wrap it up in the sequel.

I finished Kingdom Hearts yesterday, and it was quite an enjoyable ride.  There was no Psychonauts-style Insane Difficulty Jump at the end, the Disney-themed villain in the last world was a really nice surprise, and even the Patented Square Multi … Continue reading

All cooked out

I’m not very good at predictions. For instance, several months ago when I first saw “Cooking Mama” on a shelf, I had the following thoughts: 1) Wow, that is a weird concept for a game. 2) I like weird games. … Continue reading

I have mentioned that one of the games on my far-too-neglected backlog is Kingdom Hearts, the Square-Disney collaboration that has launched a thousand disturbing doujinshi. I think I am approaching the end of the game.  At least, I’m currently in … Continue reading

Jumpin’ Jack Flash IS, in fact, a gas, gas, gas.

One of the first Nintendo DS games I bought was Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, and it is a glorious game.  I spent far too many hours playing it and then going back to songs and trying to get higher ranks on … Continue reading

Weekends, well spent:

Oregon weather continues to be bloody pathetic for spring.  It is, however, perfect sit-inside-and-veg weather, so I took it as a sign that I should do so. Watched a little anime – “Spice and Wolf” and “Clannad”, watched some classic … Continue reading

I can has real ending plz?

OK, OK, it could have been much worse. The cliffhanger at the end of Half Life 2 wasn’t as bad of an ending as, say, Halo 2, and it probably won’t be TOO long until they get Episode 3 out … Continue reading
