Posted on February 1, 2008 by baudattitude

I realize that I am roughly the last person on the planet to not yet have played the new Prince of Persia games.  There is a reason for this: Back in the heady days of my youth, I quite enjoyed … Continue reading →

A New Perspective on Bitching.

Posted on January 28, 2008 by baudattitude

OK, so: Back in 2002, early 2003, Microsoft rolled out the Hype Train for an upcoming game called Brute Force.  In retrospect, they probably poured the hype on a little TOO strongly, as it got a bit of a backlash … Continue reading →

Not having school is nice. It lets you blow stuff up.

Posted on December 28, 2007 by baudattitude

Being able to put aside books for a few weeks and blowing off my Japanese studies for the same length of time has kinda helped clear the backlog a little bit. Despite previously-mentioned glitches with cutscenes, I was able to … Continue reading →

It’s going to be an odd day at work.

Posted on December 26, 2007 by baudattitude

It’s the day after Christmas, so everyone will be swapping stories about their swag, and the crazy things Aunt Marge says when she gets a couple cups of nog in her, and if anyone asks me what I did, I’m … Continue reading →

Backlog: The Listmaking

Posted on October 12, 2007 by baudattitude

This isn’t really a “to-do” list that is going to happen any time in the near future. Honestly, keeping on top of my three classes is pushing me hard enough, much less getting ready for the JLPT in December. The … Continue reading →

Being behind the times… not a bad thing.

Posted on September 15, 2007 by baudattitude

…because, I tell you, if I’d purchased and played Halo 2 back in 2004, I’d have been fuming for 3 years about that “ending.” That’s a little harsh, I guess. I’ve seen and read a lot worse cliffhangers, and some … Continue reading →

So I hear there’s this game called Halo.

Another fine day of manly gaming as men.

Posted on June 24, 2007 by baudattitude

I broke my No-RPG rule again…

Posted on May 17, 2007 by baudattitude

Last time, it was for Shining Tears – this time, for the European-but-trying-hard-to-be-Japanese XBox RPG “Sudeki” Just like Shining Tears, it’s an action RPG with fairly limited character customization. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that the degree of character … Continue reading →

Y Buffy Kant Swim?

Posted on April 28, 2007 by baudattitude

So this week’s games have been P.N. 03 on the Gamecube and Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Xbox. I haven’t gotten far enough into P.N.03 to really talk about it, but I’ve seen a bit more of Buffy, enough to … Continue reading →
