You ever look back at a year filled with a vague sense of anxiety, feeling like you've been holding your breath and waiting for a reason to release? It's probably nothing, I'll just continue to ignore it and focus on the positives. In an effort to both be more focused in my writing and also … Continue reading Eraserhead is my most spiritual movie

This is more or less just a site for my personal thoughts in a semi-professional looking space.
2021, or as I like to call it, 2020-2
It's that time again for a delayed media review of the past year. I played a decent amount in 2021 and approximately half of theme were a game that Suda51 was involved in so I apologize in advance as I spend several minutes gushing over the Kill the Past series. I didn't play too many … Continue reading 2021, or as I like to call it, 2020-2
I Survived 2020 and all I got was this crummy T-Shirt
To say that stuff went sideways last year, is a common excuse, but one that I am sticking to for why I didn’t do one of these for 2019. What follows is my scattershot notes written a little after I completed each game. Onto the show! Dragon Quest XI S My background with Dragon Quest … Continue reading I Survived 2020 and all I got was this crummy T-Shirt
Ace Combat 7 – A Welcome Return to the Skies

The X-Files: Novelty versus Iteration
Thanks to Capcom's recent release of the new(er) Mega Man X Legacy Collection, I have been playing through the series once again. The Mega Man X series is hard to write about, a long and storied history full of outrageously different peaks and valleys in quality. I would boldly claim that Mega Man X is … Continue reading The X-Files: Novelty versus Iteration
2018 – A Year is a Long Time
What better place to start this idea than a simple review of my time with games in 2018? I should stress this is absolutely not a game of the year list, nor are all of these games (almost none of them in fact) from 2018. Also rather surprisingly I was able to finish a good … Continue reading 2018 – A Year is a Long Time
Where have you been?
Hello to anyone who somehow found their way here. This site will more than likely not see heavy or even routine use. I've been meaning to try and catalogue my thoughts regarding my main hobby, video games, for a while now. The idea behind collecting all these thoughts online is that it might force me … Continue reading Where have you been?
