Fire Emblem Conquest: Cleared

Admin/ May 22, 2016/ Video Games

      This post is very late.  I finished Fire Emblem Conquest roughly a week ago.  But I will say with pride that I completed it.  Birthright as I stated in an earlier post, did not feel challenging to me.  The few deaths I dealt with (before making a hard reset as any Fire Emblem Veteran will) were a

Musical Dissonance In Video Games

Admin/ May 1, 2016/ Rants, Video Games

  As I have said in posts in the past, music is especially important to me.  I listen to it while I write just about everything.  It sets my mood when I am thinking.  And as the context of the title of this post already hints at, it serves as queues for me when playing a video game. I recognize

Fire Emblem: Conquest

Admin/ April 27, 2016/ Video Games

    I completed Fire Emblem Birthright and jumped right into Conquest.   And I’ll admit, this game is far more enjoyable than the last.  Most of all because of the amount of frustration it causes.  Fire Emblem Birthright felt like Awakening in that it was too easy to power your way through the game and ignore strategy.  Conquest will

Fire Emblem Birthright: Cleared

Admin/ April 24, 2016/ Video Games

  So this post is a little delayed, but that is fair since I delayed in finishing the game. I completed Fire Emblem Fates Birthright.  I’ll avoid spoilers in my review to the best of my ability. And although I knew going into the game that the difficulty was toned down for this path, I was a bit disappointed in

The Majesty of Vashj’ir

Admin/ March 6, 2016/ Rants, Video Games

      Today I want to talk about a place in the Warcraft Universe that is incredibly polarizing as well as in my opinion, one of the most beautiful places in World of Warcraft.   Vashj’ir is an almost completely underwater area added in the Cataclysm Expansion of World of Warcraft and is incredibly unique in this regard.  It

Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright

Admin/ February 20, 2016/ Video Games

  So I got a chance to dig into the new Fire Emblem.  I’ll avoid plot points since the game came out in the US only today, but I am far more pleased with this game than expected.  And even though I started with the easy route, I am enjoying the game. I am hoping that the middle section of
