I guess I’m a PC gamer now. I love my PS5. I like the controller, the UI, and how fast the SSD is. What I like more than any of those things are the exclusives Sony has consistently cranked out on all the PlayStation consoles over the years. What I don’t like, however, is the … Continue reading PlayStation Needs to Change its Store Refund Policy
God of War: Ragnarök Mini-Review
Return of Boy This is not a full review of God of War: Ragnarök. This is, as the title suggests, a mini-review. Why? Well, I played most of this game at least a year ago and only recently started playing it again.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Review
Author’s Note: I wrote but never published this review nearly four years ago. I thought about rewriting the whole thing but decided against it.

So, … Continue reading Fire Emblem: Three Houses Review

From Crapcom to Capcom
Who says you can’t turn things around? Capcom has been around for a long time. If I may be so bold, I would say that it is one of the oldest video game companies in the world. I don’t know much about the early days of the company but I do know the company first … Continue reading From Crapcom to Capcom

A Streaming Announcement
This could be a big mistake but I have decided to take the plunge and enter the streaming world! I don’t know if this will become a regular thing but I guess we’ll find out. I would like you to know that I will continue streaming if everybody likes it but I will stop if … Continue reading A Streaming Announcement
Hades Review
Get outta Hell Hades had two nearly insurmountable obstacles to clear for me to like it. The first obstacle was that it was universally beloved. Now, I know it’s not fair to judge a game based solely upon if everyone likes it but I’ve been burned many times before by playing games which are popular … Continue reading Hades Review
