I suppose since we're starting fresh-ish, here's a short intro:
I'm Angelo, or Arren, and I work in (and play lots of) games! I've been playing games essentially entire life. I've played a lot, I haven't written about enough, and occasionally I even stream. Here are some games I truly love.

No stream from me tonight most likely, but I AM live here on Weff's channel as we take a dive into a co-op Final Fantasy XII randomizer! Come hang, enjoy me making terrible jokes, etc.
It's probably gonna be a real crispy sixer so grab a drink and get comfy. :)

it's BANDCAMP FRIDAY, and the ONE WEEK ANNIVERSARY of Ipso Facto Meeny-Moe MAGICO, the Chrono Trigger punk rock concept album by Clock Elixir (aka yours truly)! clockelixir.bandcamp.com/album/ipso-f... That means Bandcamp is waiving their fees so more of your purchase goes directly to the artist!

Thinking about this for a minute, other than EX Troopers (which we never got in the west) what is the closest thing to Megaman Legends 2, complete package, that we got from Capcom?

Alright so here's what's up: I hate self-promoting but I did it before with the blog (which I'm working on stuff for btw!) and I'm gonna do it with a stream of Mega Man Legends because if I don't take some kind of action for myself nothing is going to change.
You wanna watch?

So, I finished a playthrough of Disaster Arms - Impact Project B.A.H.N. the other day (first game down of 2026!) and came out of it super impressed, it's a gorgeous 2D run-and-gun game with some really intense action. Kinda haven't stopped thinking about it.

Decades of precedent. Literal decades. The only thing that changes is the excuse.

I started a website today!
level-headed.com
Over the last few years I feel like I've made a lot of excuses for not pushing forward with creative stuff, but I'm making a concerted effort to be present in 2026 starting with a blog for video game takes and stuff. My opener is a 2025 Year In Review.

Saga Soraya's written two of my absolute favorite games of all time (Xenogears and Soma Bringer). Seeing her retirement announcement today was really painful for me, and a monumental loss. I hope she'll pick the pen back up some day.

I'm gonna be thinking about Unbeatable for quite a long time. You're just a part of my life now, and I can't get rid of you.

Just counting games that came out in 2025 (I played a lot from before!)
-The entire lead-in to room 46
-This scene with Maelle
-Lumines Arise's credits sequence
-The (not pictured) Unbeatable title drop
What a year, honestly. Hoping to catch a couple of the last major beats before it's over.
