Damn, Metroid Prime 4 does not look great, huh? idk why they insist on giving Samus Federation buddies and bounty hunter rivals, I just want to be a space misanthrope and blow up planets without any yapping.

Finally getting around to reading the Berserk manga. Pretty fuckin good - I watched the '97 anime back in the day so I know the basics of the first arc, but the manga is much better on character development.

Excited to get to parts of the story I don't know.

Dude the romance options in Hades 2 suck. Let me romance Odysseus and Artemis you cowards!

Let's go Mena!!!

Crazy that Kakeru only lost to Mena too. Demon matchup for him.
August 4, 2025 at 6:21 AM
SF6 EVO time! Cheering for MenaRD.

Kinda thinking it will be Fuudo though. Also hoping to see Fuudo vs Leshar those boys be winning lately.

Kakeru always dangerous. AngryBird could easily win EVO again.

Then there's Xiaohai who doesn't even main this game lmao fuckin SNK freak.

12 and 13 kinda killed my enthusiasm for the series and it's never fully recovered.

14 has been pretty alright though, as a fun excuse to chat with friends and goof off. I'm a little mixed on the 7 remakes, but they're way better than 13.

Reading the Hobbit to my kid at bedtime. Today I got asked if I could pick a different voice for Smaug because it was "too scary". Eat your heart out, Benedict Cumberbatch.

Mario Kart is really the only switch 2 launch title? That's kind of scuffed, huh?
June 18, 2025 at 10:37 PM
RE9? Return to a nuked raccoon city? That's kinda sick.
June 6, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Damn, state of play was actually good.

New Arcsys Mahvel looks kinda sick.

Silent Hill f seems cool and spooky and vaguely Fatal Frame-ish?

FF: Tactics remaster is hype.

Capcom: Please! What will it take for you to play Ryu?

Daigo: Give Ryu a gun.

Gaming pet peeve: the boss attacks you with some super move for 30 seconds straight while you do nothing but defend. It's annoying, but you know you'll get a fat chance to wail on them when this attack ends.

BUT - the attack ends, they *instantly* recover and are already attacking again. UGH

Justice for Barret in this Famitsu character ranking!

Should be number one, but I'll accept a loss to the main character and the thirst magnets.

What's not to love?
- Fights the oligarchy
- Single dad to a kid that ain't even his
- Messed up in the past but constantly trying to make up for it

Random Game Saturday - overdue for a replay of this one.

Listen Nintendo, if you need a cheap PR win to offset the switch 2 prices, I got an idea for ya...

Blue Prince is a pretty cool video game. Wouldn't have thought "Myst Roguelike" would work, but they pulled it off for sure.

Even if you don't like roguelikes and just love puzzles I'd recommend it.
