Week 1 is scary because no one has any evidence, but at least we all know we don't have any evidence. Week 2 is even scarier because we still don't have any evidence; we only have data points.

Gross Football Lunch – Week 10, 2024 NFL Season
Containing all three of the CastleVania games released on the GameBoy Advance – all of which follow the MetroidVania template – this collection has shown me both the error of my ways and the supreme majesty that the series achieved during this period.
Elden Ring & Dark Souls – A Double Examination
"Gaining levels makes things easier, as does obtaining better weapons and equipment, but these things alone are not sufficient to progress through either game. You must Git Gud."
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – An Examination
"I still yearned for a Pathfinder game that was good, and by that point there was another one out there. Since my efforts to determine whether or not I would like Wrath of the Righteous without playing it for myself proved futile, there was only one thing to do. One day, Steam recommended it to me at a deep discount, and in a moment of weakness, I pulled the trigger."
Shadowrun: Dragonfall – An Examination
Back in February, I took a look at Shadowrun Returns in this space. Returns is by no means a perfect game, but it's more than enough fun for what it is, and it captures most of what I've always dug about the world of Shadowrun.

While the rest of the world scrambles to overpay for the last 12 state-of-the-art GPUs left on the market, I am safe and sound at home, chillin' and catching up with a small handful of modern PC classics and remasters of less modern PC classics. It's a … Continue reading Hotline Miami – An Examination
Final Fantasy IV Remake – An Examination
The problem with my personal gaming diet is that it contains far too many massive RPGs. Even as my video game backlog continues to pile up higher and higher and feels less and less manageable, I keep adding games that require commitments of 50-100 hours, or even more than that. I finished up Divinity: Original … Continue reading Final Fantasy IV Remake – An Examination
Shadowrun Returns – An Examination
I can't speak to anyone else's life experiences, but if you're like me, your 2013 fucking sucked. I spent just about the entire year drunk, broke, bitter, and mortally constipated. I'm not positive I had a single uniformly positive experience at any point during the entire calendar year, which is really saying something when you … Continue reading Shadowrun Returns – An Examination
