What The Last Three Episodes of Evangelion Mean to Me

It should go without saying: massive spoilers for Evangelion are ahead. Read at your own risk. Last Friday, the classic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion launched on Netflix with a new English translation, marking the first time in years Studio Gainax’s 26 episode series, and their original movie counterparts, have been easily available in North America. While I don’t have a Netflix account (but have the … Continue reading What The Last Three Episodes of Evangelion Mean to Me

Review – Yoshi’s Crafted World (Switch)

The Craftaceous Period The best way to describe Yoshi’s Crafted World is that it’s a 3D platformer trapped in a 2D side-scrolling body. It does things that a lot of 2D platfomers don’t. Levels are not so much mad dashes from left to right as they are opportunities to explore, get the lay of the land, and grab as many objectives as possible in one … Continue reading Review – Yoshi’s Crafted World (Switch)

Day 3: E3 2019 Press Conferences & Revelations

Today is the third day of E3 2019, and while I didn’t get a chance to go to California to visit the show itself, I still got a lot done. After getting up at 10:00 AM to prepare  for the Nintendo Direct that morning, I spent the rest of the day listening to people at the show and watching gameplay. I also spent time reflecting … Continue reading Day 3: E3 2019 Press Conferences & Revelations

E3 2019: Press Conference Reactions Day 2

Welcome to what is technically Day 2 of E3 2019. I’m back with more recorded impressions of the press conferences that happened today for Ubisoft and Square Enix, while also briefly touching on Devolver Digital’s shenanigans, the PC Gaming Conference, and EA’s weird press conference/livestream mix on Saturday. After taking the time to edit myself talking, it’s really hitting me how weird my voice is, … Continue reading E3 2019: Press Conference Reactions Day 2

E3 2019: Day 1 Impressions

Hello all, it’s E3 time once again! Instead of just posting links to all of the gaming news coming out of the convention like last year, I thought I’d try something different and record my impressions of the show in short, punchy clips. I go over some of my favorite moments of the Microsoft and Bethesda press conferences from E3 2019, and also briefly cover … Continue reading E3 2019: Day 1 Impressions

Some(what Late) E3 2019 Predictions

Every time I sit down to work on this piece, more and more E3 2019 news gets announced or leaked out, so I’m gonna post this while my predictions are still relevant. Some people have called the necessity of a convention like E3 into question because we live in a 24/7 news cycle that allows companies to get media attention when they want, if they … Continue reading Some(what Late) E3 2019 Predictions

A Photo Journey Through Days Gone

Usually, when I play games for review on PS4, I end up taking a few screenshots here and there to help illustrate my points. I think I’ve maybe taken ten at a time, never more than necessary, but with Days Gone something weird happened. I took about eight hundred pictures and couldn’t stop. Eight hundred. Now some of these were pretty bad, so I went … Continue reading A Photo Journey Through Days Gone

Review – Days Gone (PS4)

A DECADE AND FIFTEEN YEARS The fact that Days Gone is Sony Bend’s first major console title in fifteen years should not be lost on us. Since 2004’s Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain, they’ve mostly developed for the PSP and Vita, occasionally porting later Syphon Filter titles to the PS2 when it was still viable. To go from titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Fight for Fortune to … Continue reading Review – Days Gone (PS4)
