*Bakuma is seen checking his fridge, having forgot to make shopping*
Blast! There is nothing good, only some Fraznatt meat, some Brambleberry jam, mayo and ketchup, bread… ¿Why did I put the bread in the fridge? Anyway, some takeout chow Mein and Unsalad… oh and a can of grapefruit soda… guess I have no choice
*Montage of salvaging the leftovers and then devouring the crude meal*
*Satisfied burp* Woo, I am stuffed out of a miracle, it could be worse, but I managed to get something out of...
Tonight, on a very special addition to the VN appreciation series (I wonder if people ever actually catch these references), I will be covering my favorite one, it was about time.
This is Minori’s Magnum Opus, a VN which pushed the medium to the limit, a fairy tale which has changed the way I see life twice, a story of hope born from tragedy.
The Fairy Tale of The Two.
Since it is very confusing to approach this “series,” here is a quick primer.
Originally, the game was divided in 2...
"IN MY RESTLESS DREAMS I SEE THAT TOWN, SILENT HILL..." (Mary's letter)
Hello and welcome back to Silent Hill! I remember the first time I played this game—I was old enough to file my own income tax, and what did I do with the money, you ask? Lol. I bought myself a used original Xbox console from a pawn shop and two Xbox games to go with it. Those two games were Halo and Silent Hill 2 (and lucky for me, it was the Director's Cut edition that included the "Born from a Wish" scenario). To...
SEEEGAAAAAA!
Sega has been around for over half a century, starting with arcade games like Periscope in 1966, before hit arcades such as Hang-On and Out Run helped with their financial woes. But many would remember Sega for its well known console, the Sega Genesis, and the blue bomber himself Sonic, that would take Sega to the stratosphere of recognition. Through an aggressive marketing campaign, endorsements by popular celebrities, intense negotiation among peers, and the will to...
As this series is more of my excuse to re-read VNs I love, and then recommend them to others, I decided it was time for this one.
For this entry, I will be covering an anomaly.
A Visual Novel which its sole existence is a miracle, a very unexpected surprise, from a very unlikely source.
A project nobody ever expected to be completed.
A project everyone expected to be a fetishistic/offensive mess.
The project which has changed the life of millions.
A bona fide hood classic, Katawa...
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
Not since the 2013 reboot of Devil May Cry have I seen the fan base this pissed. Adi Shankar's take on Devil May Cry has people rather divided, with new fans and general audiences liking it and long time fans absolutely loathing it. As a fan of this series since childhood, I felt a duty to see for myself just what all the fuss is about. It can't be that bad right? Well, it isn't that bad, but it isn't that good either. There are sparks of brilliance and interesting...
"Time to take it back to the streets again—and finish what we started!"
Streets of Rage 2 is, to me, the undefeated king of the co-op beat 'em up genre, sitting right alongside legends like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Final Fight. Released on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in 1992, this flawless sequel introduces two returning powerhouses, Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding, while expanding the roster with two incredible new faces: Max Thunder, a former professional wrestler and close friend...
Reviewing roguelites is something I have been avoiding for a while, cause its often too much work, since I prefer to be as thorough as I can with my reviews, as I see anything less as disingenuous. This mentality often makes it hard for me to actually want to play a roguelite/roguelike for a review.
Today’s review is a special one, you see, I have an absolute disdain towards deck builders, however, this one is among the exceptions, among the few deck builders I don’t hate.
Funnily enough...
