Steam Sales > Your Willpower

It is the truth.  Steam sales run in and for the first time in my life, I totally get that flawed logic behind statements like, “it’s ok to buy it cause I am actually saving thirty bucks!” Well forty dollars later I have picked up a slew of indie titles that I am excited to …

Puzzles

Puzzles

I love brainteasers, word games, critical thinking behemoths and puzzles of all kind.  Not only do they help keep my brain sharp and young, but they are also some of the most rewarding challenges in games, video and traditional alike. As I have been playing through a lot more indie games, I’ve noticed a distinct trend …

Loving Indie

Nothing is more disappointing to me than spending 50-60 dollars on a game with less than 20 hours of gameplay outside of multiplayer experiences.  It drives me nuts.  While multiplayer is a fun and interesting way to approach a game, rarely does the multiplayer experience provide a variety of experiences like a single player campaign can.  Most …

Game “Snob” Mentality

Sometimes when I need to be happy, I require the finest ales, meats, and cheeses in all the land.   Throw in a little Star Wars, a rainy day, and my favorite blanket to cuddle under and it is all good.  Most of the time, however, I just want to play a solid game.   …

Season 2 of FYG and 1 year of FYG… and a month.

We have had a nice break and are ready to start the second season of our fun little show.  JConfidence and I will be once again tackling the worlds serious issues from pen and paper, dnd, anime, and a whole lot about gaming.  I apologize for the lack of warning about our vacation, but never …

Adding Fear to an MMO

When I get scared I have been known to scream like a 12 year old girl. True story. One of my fondest gaming memories comes from early high school when I played Silent Hill on the PlayStation. My best friend and I rented the game and had the weekend at his house alone. He lived …

The Problems with Universal Features

Sometimes it is nice to know exactly what you are getting. Other times it is a complete let down for the Link in me that wants some adventure. Awhile ago I wrote a small piece on features that I thought every major MMO should contain. Today I want to throw out the counter argument to …

Nomadic Vs. Sedentary

Recently I have found myself much more absorbed into the Pay to Play (P2P) side of the mmo market.  The last time I was absorbed by a play to play title was over a year ago when I played World of Warcraft and decided to start my blog.  Recently Rift has become my new obsession …

Super Meat Boy

Super Meat Boy (SMB) is the newest platformer to hit the market, and it doesn’t disappoint. No it isn’t an mmo, but when your hero is a block of meat, the villain  a fetus in a jar, and the girl of your dreams a bunch of bandages… well it is worth writing about. SMB brings back …

Yogi’s Response: Gamer Judgement

I’m going to be hard pressed to state any of my response to this Kruf the Raider issue better than Arkenor did on his blog.  This last week, gamers have been stepping up to comment on an issue of the health of one of the top World of Warcraft raiders after he wrote about a …
