In the immortal words of my friend Zach, there comes a time in the life of every JRPG player when they must make a spreadsheet. And, at least in my experience, that moment always arrives a bit sooner in an Atlus game. I played Persona 5 Royal several years ago on the Switch and reallyContinue reading “Loading…Metaphor: ReFantazio”

Friday Favorites: Loading…Updated Top Ten Video/Computer Games
Without further ado: 10: Spiritfarer. I’m not much of a cozy gamer—a little too boring for me—but I loved this game because it was about dying and what makes life worth living, and supporting the people around us through that process even when they get scared of it and aren’t the nicest. Very pretty, theContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Loading…Updated Top Ten Video/Computer Games”
Loading…Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
For those who come after…. This is the French-est game ever: that’s pretty much everything you need to know about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It’s a game of contrasts just as its title suggests—operatic and understated, carnivalesque and dark, austere and decadent, goofy and sexy. Until I got used to the visual style, I frequentlyContinue reading “Loading…Clair Obscur: Expedition 33”
Loading…Ghost of Yōtei
I was pretty conflicted about playing this game. Don’t get me wrong: I *loved* Ghost of Tsushima, but for reasons that had nothing to do with the main point of the game, i.e., killing people. I loved riding my horse through the jaw-dropping landscape, taking screen-caps of the jaw-dropping landscape, soaking in hot springs, writingContinue reading “Loading…Ghost of Yōtei”
Loading…Horizon: Zero Dawn
I realized the other day when I saw one of our cute little campus food-delivery robots trundling its way down the sidewalk, and my first thought was, “Where’s my bow?” that I had perhaps been playing too much Horizon: Zero Dawn. Because in this game, you kill robot dinosaurs like the rent is due. AsContinue reading “Loading…Horizon: Zero Dawn”
Best TV Resolutions by Size and Viewing Distance
I’m looking for a new smaller smart TV or monitor that I can use to stream shows while riding my trainer and also game on. This is exactly the table I needed, and so when I finally found it, I thought I’d share it! i.rtings.com/images/optimal-viewing-distance-television-graph-size.png
Loading…Switch Gaming Catch-up
I realize I’ve played several smaller/indie games on the Switch that I haven’t reviewed here, so here goes: Dave the Diver: One of my admins turned me on to this game (why are all my department’s admins gamers? Is everyone under the age of 30 a gamer?) It’s basically a farming/management sim with some lightContinue reading “Loading…Switch Gaming Catch-up”
Pointcrow’s Goldfish, Tortellini, Defeats Hardest Boss in Elden Ring
youtube.com/watch That title either made perfect sense to you or no sense whatsoever. So, for the second category of readers, let me explain; no, let me sum up…. Elden Ring is a role-playing action videogame renowned for the difficulty of its combat. In particular, there’s an optional boss toward the end, Malenia, Blade of Miquella,Continue reading “Pointcrow’s Goldfish, Tortellini, Defeats Hardest Boss in Elden Ring”
Loading…Ghost of Tsushima
So, I turned myself into a PC gamer this summer. The logic went something like this: I wanted to play Ghost of Tsushima (GOT) because I had heard a lot of good things from my gaming friends about it, and the sequel, Ghost of Yõtei, was set to come out in October. To buy aContinue reading “Loading…Ghost of Tsushima”

See me riding my blue horse with my Blupee armor up there? Yeah, I got what I came for…. I was seriously conflicted about playing Tears of the Kingdom when the announcement came out. I had just finished playing Breath of the Wild (yes, I realize, I was several years late to that party), andContinue reading “Loading…Review of Legend of Zelda—Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK).
