Trying League Yet Again

Admin/ June 6, 2015/ Video Games

  MOBAS are an unusual game.  People spends hours day after day getting better at the games but they also must contend with teammates who may or may not also be doing the same thing.  This of course as the games have become famous for at this point, leads to toxic gaming communities. As a result of this negativity, I

Hollow Bastion

Admin/ May 22, 2015/ Video Games

    There are levels in video games that make you cry in frustration, there are others that are boring and that are easily forgotten.  Then there are places that are so majestic and filled with such excellent story telling, that they create unforgettable memories and in even more extreme cases, create the means for even greater inspiration.   Hollow

That One Boss

Admin/ May 15, 2015/ Video Games

    Anyone who has played a video game has encountered this boss.  One that you attempt again and again (and again) and yet still fail to beat them.  Next you go on the internet to see if there is some strategy you are missing out on.   Once you get there, instead of solutions, you find other gamers wondering

Final Fantasy VII: The Ignored Lesson

Admin/ May 11, 2015/ Political, Video Games

  Final Fantasy VI is without a doubt my favorite video game and while the game before the one I am blogging about today (that is not a typo, 6, not 7, is my favorite video game of all time) has a significantly higher amount of lessons to be gained about the universe and the meaning of life at large,

Gilgamesh

Admin/ May 5, 2015/ Video Games

  Yes THAT Gilgamesh and not the one that was written many many years ago about a very very different character.  Whether he is clashing heroes on big bridges, running around with a multitude of weapons that may or may not belong to him, or making crude jokes about women who dress like men, He is certainly among my favorite

The Giant Space Flea From Nowhere

Admin/ April 23, 2015/ Books, Video Games

  Anyone who has played a video game quickly pictured one of these bosses the moment they read the title of the blog post.  The Giant Space Flea from no where is normally a sign of poor game design where the creators knew they needed a boss fight as is normal in video games as you approach the end of

Why I tend to favor Lancers over Heroes.

Admin/ April 13, 2015/ Books, Movies, Rants, Video Games

  This is a literary blog post about my writing style and also may explain a bit about the types of characters I prefer.  To get to the point at hand, the stereotypical idea of the Hero, especially the Chosen One, is a character type that I cannot stand. especially if the Hero is an idealist.  Perhaps it is a

Why Pokemon Black and White is the Best Game in the Series

Admin/ April 7, 2015/ Video Games

  There are a whole lot of Pokemon games out there, and I have played an overwhelming majority of them.  Still Black and White has a special place in my heart and the game goes far above and beyond the rest of the series. Warning this blog post contains spoilers for this game.  Read at your own risk! Before I

The Darkest Hour

Admin/ March 30, 2015/ Books, Movies, Rants, Video Games

  The Darkest Hour, a phrase overused for time eternity, and yet a phrase that I enjoy.  One that shapes my writing style greatly. You know these moments in fiction.  The time when the Villain looks like they may actually win (or does win in some cases changing the plot entirely) The moment where the trusted friend proves they were

Cheesing Boss Fights

Admin/ March 24, 2015/ Video Games

  As I wrote in a prior blog post, I suffered greatly in Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword to master the control scheme and caused poor Link to get wrecked and taunted and Demon Lord Ghirahim blocked his and by proxy my attacks again and again. But that came to an end the other day.  For I had my rematch
