Paint the Town Red (PS5)

You find yourself in a bar packed from floor to ceiling with blockheads (not stupid people, mind you, but actual folks with blocks for heads). You’re here for a drink. At the far end of the room, a cover band is playing what you think is rock music, but their dreams of musicmaking need not leave the premises. You need a drink. The bartender is overwhelmed with unruly customers, and there is ...[Read More]

Amazing

Mushihimesama (Nintendo Switch)

When I was in high school, I remember coming across a Youtube video of an expert Touhou player surviving what seemed like an impossible boss.

Wildfire (Switch) Review

I am not good at video games. I sit before you a 29-year-old whose “peak” was either in 2010 when I was the 94th best Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection player (PSP) worldwide for a total of 3 weeks OR in June 2020 when I was ranked in the top 5% of all Team Fight Tactics players in North America for about a month. I mention this not as a way to humbly brag and tip my fedora, but instead to indicate that...[Read More]
