Posted on December 25, 2007 by baudattitude

One of the side effects of this year’s “clear out the backlog” project has been a new appreciation for bundled software. Usually, if you get any software with a new piece of hardware (beyond, you know, the basic drivers and … Continue reading →

Yes, Psychonauts IS all that and a bag of chips, but…

Posted on December 21, 2007 by baudattitude

I really did plan to get to sleep at a reasonable time last night, but I felt really close to the end of Psychonauts and decided to see if I could finish it. And I did – granted, I was … Continue reading →

Nice… Goggles.

I’ve never played Day of the Tentacle, or Full Throttle, or… well, I’ve never played any of Tim Schafer’s games, even though he’s one of those “name” developers that has a massive and vocal following. On the other hand, I … Continue reading →

Posted on December 12, 2007 by baudattitude

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 →

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 →
