In which, I finish a hard game.

Posted on December 16, 2007 by baudattitude

Lara Croft and I have a somewhat sparse history.  I owned the original Tomb Raider back when it was released for the Saturn, but never finished it, and then I bought and got crushed into pitiful defeat by the second … Continue reading →

Posted on December 12, 2007 by baudattitude

I want to like Mega Man : Powered Up. I really do. The Mega Man series is one of the most iconic ones out there. Not having played any of the games in the series felt almost like being illiterate… … Continue reading →

It’s a crying shame…

Posted on December 11, 2007 by baudattitude

…that I played Deus Ex earlier this year. Because, well, I can’t come right out and say that Brave Story : New Traveler is the best game I’ve finished this year. It even does harm to my old-school Sega-fan cred … Continue reading →

I got caught.

Posted on December 5, 2007 by baudattitude

Seems Yuno’s been reading the blog. 😦 Brave Story remains quite enjoyable.  It’s just gotten to the “OK! You can go anywhere in the world now, and there are all these little side quests and optional bosses to fight!” stage, … Continue reading →

RIP Saturn: 5/11/1995 – 11/30/1998

Posted on November 30, 2007 by baudattitude

Today marks the 9th anniversary of the last US-released Sega Saturn game – Magic Knight Rayearth, released 11/30/1998. It’s tempting to rant about how many mistakes Sega made, both with the Saturn and then with the Dreamcast after it. It’s … Continue reading →

These Tombs, they won’t raid themselves.

Posted on November 22, 2007 by baudattitude

I shouldn’t be doing any gaming at the moment. I have finals coming up in two weeks and the JLPT3 in 8 days. Still… I have been packing on a lot of stress, and there’s only so much hitting the … Continue reading →

How a random guy in Oregon would fix Gamestop.

Posted on November 2, 2007 by baudattitude

OK. So Gamestop obviously isn’t “broken” – it’s the de facto leading US video game chain, the 900 lb. gorilla in the market, it makes money hand over fist and I suspect its stockholders are quite pleased with it. I’m … Continue reading →

OK, I get the cake thing now

Posted on October 31, 2007 by baudattitude

After about a zillion sightings of “the cake is a lie hah hah hah I’m so funny and referential”, I broke down and rented Portal yesterday. Well, I rented “The Orange Box”, strictly speaking, but really… Portal. And it was … Continue reading →

Yuno, I’m troubled.

Posted on October 24, 2007 by baudattitude

I ought to be heading to bed soon, but I’ll probably be up for an hour or so. In the meantime I am faced with a conundrum. On the one hand, I should take this opportunity to study for the … Continue reading →

The PSP Appreciation Project continues…

Posted on October 23, 2007 by baudattitude
