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 →

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?

I’m still a man, really.

Back in January, I caught up to 1998 and finished Half Life on the PC. Then, since I had a copy of the Xbox version of Half Life 2, which I’d acquired at a K-mart for the princely sum of … Continue reading →

Being a purist; being let down.

Posted on March 20, 2008 by baudattitude

My introduction to bullet-hell style shooters came a few years ago in the form of a brutally localized game called “Mobile Light Force 2” It is a translation, and I use the term quite loosely, of Shikigami no Shiro.  I … Continue reading →

Dumb luck.

Posted on March 19, 2008 by baudattitude

So, I’ve been looking for Planescape: Torment for a while now. This is the Infinity Engine RPG that always seems to come up when people start talking about Really Good RPGs.  It’s got enough of a Reputation that I’m willing … Continue reading →
