On Digital Graveyards

Posted on August 4, 2024 by baudattitude

Entirely self-indulgent post today, because I finally took like two hours to answer a really trivial question that has been bugging me for, at this point, literal years. See, back in early 2008 I played through the campaign mode of … Continue reading →

Getting ahead of the digital future

Posted on September 9, 2023 by baudattitude

Since I’ve gone almost entirely away from physical media, I’ve had to come to grips with the notion that the “digital future” probably means losing access to things I’ve paid money for, from time to time.  It’s actually pretty rare … Continue reading →

Xbox 20th Anniversary – No More Looking Back

Posted on November 15, 2021 by baudattitude

I’ve had an on-again, off-again relationship with Microsoft’s consoles. The original Xbox was the 800-pound gorilla of its generation, and had some brilliant exclusive games, but couldn’t stand up to the sheer variety of titles available on Sony’s console of … Continue reading →

I am not going to be the very best, like no one ever was

Posted on February 2, 2020 by baudattitude

I’m about three hours into Pokémon Black “Version 2” and have passed the first gym. It was a god-damned virtual bloodbath.  I’m not good at this.  On the other hand, the stuff I am fighting now that I am past … Continue reading →

An entirely heretical opinion about Mass Effect 3.

Posted on September 14, 2018 by baudattitude

So, I finished my full Mass Effect series play-through several days ago, but I wanted to sit on this and think about it. I first played the trilogy in 2014, and the second game was easily my favorite.  It had … Continue reading →

Examining Mass Effect 3’s Multiplayer

Posted on August 28, 2018 by baudattitude

The title of this post actually lies a little.  I’m not going to do any sort of deep dive into the multiplayer component of Mass Effect 3, but I am going to talk about it in terms of the intersection … Continue reading →

A Heretical Opinion About Mass Effect 2

Posted on August 26, 2018 by baudattitude

I first played through the Mass Effect trilogy in the summer of 2014, and it’s one of a very few series that I have enjoyed enough to let me play all of the entries back-to-back-to-back without needing any breaks.  I … Continue reading →

Some thoughts about digital distribution.

Posted on May 21, 2018 by baudattitude

One thing I didn’t expect to get out of starting this blog, a little over 11 years ago, was the ability to look back and see how my attitudes had changed over time. One of the big things I’ve done … Continue reading →

Halo Month, Part 3

Posted on April 9, 2018 by baudattitude

I’m painfully old-school sometimes, so normally I write blog posts in a plain text editor and copy/paste them into the WordPress editor. Today I’m testing Word/Wordpress integration so I apologize in advance if things are messed up. I’m in the … Continue reading →
