new review up on shinobi: art of vengeance!

the first in sega's planned revival of several dormant IPs, it's quite a looker, and a lot fun to boot!... but it left me with a feeling of disappointment. is it still worthy of a recommendation?

the moment you call anything you spend time with "content", the game is already over and you have no hope of ever recuperating your loss

pulled out random.org and my spreadsheets for #RandomGameSaturday and i certainly got a random result

the woman i bought this from was very eager to tell me how pretty she thought vanna white was on the box. i didn't have the heart to tell her i don't think that's vanna white...

got a few packs of the new yugioh set in hopes of finding more archfiends

i appreciate that konami is adding more gradius cards, but i do not appreciate that my spins of the slot machine failed and were mostly anime people

Stop playing games when you're done with them, whenever that may be:

"Although there are plenty of 'good' reasons for dropping a game[...]I’m also allowed to put a game down for no reason beyond simply having had my fill of it."

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

jesus christ, the power supply on my turbografx-16 is putting out MORE THAN DOUBLE of what it's supposed to be... and yet my console still turns on, what a trooper

thinking about #RandomGameSaturday and i guess i can post this

indie joans and the final campaign is probably the worst game i've ever played. i know saying "[x] is an EU game" is a meme but holy shit this is the real deal

trying to wield the tower of power has taught me a valuable lesson, just because the power supply is OEM doesn't mean it's not almost 40 years old and 40% out of spec

(it's supposed to be about 10 volts, not 14)

watched the tomodachi life presentation VOD, and i gotta hand it to nintendo, this is the first in a long time where i didn't have anything negative to say

i was expecting some bullshit not in line with proper scope expansion (or BOTW open world crafting bleed) but i was pleasantly surprised, gjwp
