I thought I’d finally kicked this thing, I really did. I’d been clean for a couple months. The other day, though, I happened to see someone playing it on the Commuter Rail- “Hey,” I foolishly thought to myself, “it’s been a while since I played that- I should give it another try!” Three days later, [...]
This morning for some reason I was thinking about “Hungry Are the Dead”, this groovy little indie turn-based survival horror Gameboy Color (yes) game. Most of the links for it are dead, but I was able to track down a copy on the website of one of the creators here. So, grab a Gameboy emulator [...]
CHORUS: I see you playin’ Angry Birds on your mobile phone, and I’m like, Wii U! (Ooh ooh ooh!) I guess Animal Crossing wasn’t casual enough, and I’m like Wii U, and Wii Farmville too! I said the bluer waters were full of dollars, Heh, and it was true. (Yeah, it was true!) But Apple [...]
I wrote an article on crowdfunding options for video game projects for Gamasutra. Check it out!
/This one snuck by me until now, but Square-Enix has released an iPhone port of the 2006 DS remake of Final Fantasy 3. To some extent, it’s hip to bag on Square for the number of ports and remakes they make; I’m not unsympathetic to this and it certainly feels like they release a port [...]
I’ve decided to fund my next video game project through Kickstarter. Come check it out, won’t you??
Hunty and I have both found ourselves exploring Fallen London quite a bit as of late. Well, I have, at least- I think Hunty’s dead. This isn’t as much of an impediment to exploring as you may think, given London’s new location a few miles underground and a few miles upriver from Hell. …. Maybe [...]
I admit that I’ve been on a bit of a Dungeons and Dragons kick lately. While I’m a video gamer at heart, I’m no stranger to the tabletop; I’ve been involved in a fair number of campaigns in my day. That being said, recent forays into fourth edition have inspired me to give the Gold [...]
Okay, I admit it: This post isn’t exactly about games. Of course, it’s not exactly not about games, either, so I felt it was still appropriate to this blog. You’ll see what I mean in a couple paragraphs. As a chronically disorganized individual, I frequently attempt to impose order on my life through to-do lists. [...]
Although there was a time when I was a big JRPG fan, as a 29-year-old with a 9-to-5 job, I just don’t have the time to devote to them anymore. The most recent example I’ve played is Square’s experimental iPhone outing Chaos Rings; it’s an okay game, but it’s very much by-the-numbers. I’ve been trying [...]
