When it comes to playing old games on my PC, I've always had a preferred controller. I know some people like to have a specific controller for each emulator; 'I need an NES pad for NES games, I need a Genesis pad for Megadrive games, etc', but that's not me. I don't want to fumble … Continue reading The Controllers I Use For Emulation
Final Fantasy (and Gaming) Misconceptions
The original Final Fantasy VII was a game on PS1 (or PSX if you're an asshole) that changed the gaming landscape and popularized RPGs in the West. It also created an annoying stable of very vocal fanboys that treat it as some form of sacred cow. Many years later, a 'remake' was released, which not … Continue reading Final Fantasy (and Gaming) Misconceptions
Delusional Dreamcast Die-Hards In Denial, Dood
In the retro gaming community, there is one former console manufacturer that people absolutely worship, and that is Sega. SEGA! Within that group of Sega fanatics is a small subset of fanboys that think the Sega Dreamcast is the greatest thing in the history of mankind. Better than sliced bread. Better than sex. Better than … Continue reading Delusional Dreamcast Die-Hards In Denial, Dood
“Stop! You’re Enjoying The Game Wrong!”
Over the years, I've enjoyed many different hobbies, and have also explored the online communities attached to each one. No matter how welcoming and friendly some of these communities are, there always seems to be a small subset of these groups that take offense at the way others enjoy said hobbies. Perhaps I will cover … Continue reading “Stop! You’re Enjoying The Game Wrong!”
Valkyria Chronicles: Remastered Review
Back in 2008, I was a happy 360 owner. In the short time that I owned the system, there were already 3 great Japanese RPGs on it, along with amazing Western RPGs such as Oblivion. I had no interest in owning a Playstation 3 at that time, as it really didn't seem to have anything … Continue reading Valkyria Chronicles: Remastered Review
Trophies: A Waste Of Time
I've been a PSN user ever since I got my first PS3 back in 2009. In that time, I've accumulated a lot of trophies, but I never got a platinum trophy until Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night came out a decade later. Why did it take me so long to accomplish this 'feat'? To be … Continue reading Trophies: A Waste Of Time
Top 19 Castlevania Games
It used to be an annual tradition to review some Castlevania games on YouTube for Halloween, but I am pretty much done with content creation outside of the occasional music video. So I thought it would be fun instead to resurrect this blog and rank the top 19 Castlevania games. Why 19? Hey, any jabroni … Continue reading Top 19 Castlevania Games
One Year With Hyperacusis
When I was young, I always wished I would get not one, but two rare hearing disorders (with tinnitus as a third bonus disorder), that make me sound like a crazy person, are difficult to diagnose, and very little can be done to cure them. Well my friends, that day has finally arrived. All kidding … Continue reading One Year With Hyperacusis
Old Skool Double Shock 3 Review
For the last 3 years, I have been using an ugly Urban Camo controller for my Playstation 3. While it functions just fine, I really do not like the army man dude bro look of it. I would have loved to have just a plain black Dualshock 3, but unfortunately this is what came bundled … Continue reading Old Skool Double Shock 3 Review
