I feel like they keep drafting guys, and they only end up lasting a year or two before there's a new version of the same guy in their backfield.

6. Chrono Trigger - I don't think it's the GOAT (See Final Fantasy VII), but it's wonderful. It's paced well and has great characters. The combat is fun if unspectacular, and it pioneered multiple endings in North American RPGs.

Glenn is a gangster. Also, he's a frog.

It's Franchise Hockey Manager playoff time!

The San Juan Ice Frogs take on the Charleston Elk in a best-of-seven, while I take on this pint in a best-of-6.

Currently at a Minor League Hockey game where I watched a grown man get a penalty, get out of the box and then immediately start a fight by tripping the same guy and then fighting him.

Let's talk about this Knicks floor and how we're going to kill it with fire.

It's a not comeback if you never lost it.

Look how little the Bears' second level considers the play action here. One of the biggest weaknesses of being a poor handoff-running team is that you lose this weapon that other teams design their whole playbook around.

Watch how this whole Giants Zone falls apart once the short motion hits. Moore ends up running wide open, but since Caleb is late, Holland has a chance to recover and make a play on the ball.

Benjamin Albright on the other place suggest that the Jets are looking to trade for an established QB.

Feels like Kyler Murray...right?

It's fall in Southwest Connecticut.

One of my goals when I started twitch.tv/therpgnetwork was to become a person who could speak about these games with some level of expertise.

Now, after nearly 100 games played, here's the first version of a Tier List of all the games I've played.

I'm sure this won't invite arguments at all.

#3 - Sound Coffee Roasters, Bridgeport, CT - A cute spot that has a great fall menu. The Pecan Pie latte banged.

6. Nioh - My personal favorite combat system in any Soulslike. It trends a little more to the action side than FromSoft tends to in and creates a feeling of player control that Bloodborne never gave me.

The story is barely there, and the inventory system was grindy. Bosses were a little spongy.

5. Grandia II - Another classic of my youth. I am a Dreamcast lover and this scratches my itch. Again, the systems aren't very good in retrospect, but the charming characters transported me back to my parents' basement with the weird carpet.

Mareg Rules.

4. Persona 3 Reload - After playing Persona 5: Royal, I didn't know what to expect going back to an older title. P3 is a fun game in its own right, but it feels like a beta test of P5. The characters were well-developed, and the combat was engaging. Tartarus sucked, and its a good 1/3 of the game.

3. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - What hasn't been said already? It's a GOTY contender that doesn't quite stick the landing, but painted (haha) a world unlike any I've ever played before. The combat sucked in soulslike players with the desire to perfect the parry timing.
October 12, 2025 at 11:35 PM
2. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - My first visual novel that had a neat little RPG battle system tacked on to it.

I'm not running to play another one, but I will say that I appreciated the interesting take on sci-fi storytelling and interesting takes on character tropes.
