Kyuranger merch
Getting a start on this to make it easier when everything is actually in (it’s taken me long enough that most of it is). To put it bluntly, my experience with getting all of this together in any decent amount of time has been Not Good and one of the first items I ordered took […]

Retro is not good; last-gen is not bad
I’ve seen a couple videos lately on the Jak and Daxter series and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion saying they have to be enjoyed as a product of their time because they just aren’t good by today’s standards, and in both cases they made the admission that it wasn’t graphics they were talking about. The […]

The “Standard Fantasy Setting”
To start this off, the fact that there’s such thing as a "standard" fantasy setting in itself is rather sad, because to be able to reduce something that never existed and never will to a "standard" shows a creative bankruptcy on the part of whole industries. This all boils down to how "influential" Tolkein was, […]

Uchu Sentai Kyuranger series midpoint review
Warning: since I didn’t do a "first impressions," this is probably going to cover a LOT of ground and be somewhat lacking in specific details while probably spoiling quite a lot, so if you want the spoiler-free recommendation: it has my Stardust seal of "watch it." Okay, with that out of the way, on to […]

The bustling, yet empty handheld market
Welp, it hasn’t even been that long, has it? It’s amazing how quickly things can change. There’s a PlayStation controller out for iPhone and renewed interest in the PSP seems to be trickling in. It’s probably only a matter of time before the Vita starts seeing more of the same love with what’s already there. […]

Why The Legend of Dragoon isn’t being remade
Let it never be said that fans of The Legend of Dragoon aren’t a tenacious bunch, with them having just jumped on yet another remake project asking for this one-hit wonder to get some love instead. I mean, that’s evergreen, but this specific time it’s Horizon Zero Dawn, which they have a valid point came […]

Symphony of the Origin
Technically, since this is Android-only, you’ll find it as RPG Symphony of the Origin even though "RPG" is more of a descriptor than part of the actual title just for visibility purposes. Long story short, this is a game I found seeing just how dead my Razer Forge was after I realized Razer was no […]

Skyrim and the “10-year game”
This is an ice cold take, but the gaming industry as it stands is reaching the limit of its sustanability and Skyrim is a prime example. In an environment where Skyrim has come out on everything but baby monitors and the market is flooded with HD remakes like Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning and all of […]

Digimon World: Next Order
This is a game I’ve owned for a while now, but never quite understood or thought I’d like. A former housemate of mine did play it extensively, but the description of the systems didn’t sound at all appealing because the idea of my mons dying has never been an appealing one. That said, something clicked […]

PlayStation 5, first impressions
I almost considered doing an unboxing video, but I figured there were probably plenty of those that were far more interesting than anything I could do. Plus it came really late and I still don’t have a better spot than my greenhouse, so I just wanted to set it up. The first thing you’ll notice […]
