But it's really more like semi-coherent rambling
In July I wrote a blog post called "Bloodstained From the Perspective of a Castlevania Fangirl". This post can be considered its sequel. I love Metroidvanias. It's one of my favorite genres. The Castlevania handhelds more or less led me to a rabbit hole that got me into playing video games that didn't have the … Continue reading Super Metroid From the Perspective of a Self-Proclaimed Metroidvania Fangirl
Hello, and welcome to the post that literally no one asked for but now exists I guess. Pictured above is Malamar, a Pokémon with an objectively stupid evolution method. How do you evolve it? Well obviously you just have to raise an Inkay to level 30 with the 3DS held upside down. So I started … Continue reading The Pokemon Gen With The Weirdest Evolution Methods? – A Numerical Breakdown
The year is 2019 and I have finally completed Final Fantasy VI. Was it worth the fifteen years of hype? (Note: Even though this game is pretty old, this post does not include story spoilers, but does discuss the second half of the game). I really enjoyed the first half of the game in the … Continue reading Thoughts on Final Fantasy VI – Balance and Ruin
The idea for this post came to me while I was agonizing over my classes/romances/recruits/whatever in Fire Emblem: Three Houses because I remembered that I had a whole page in my planner for Fire Emblem: Awakening. I also recently went through all my diaries about a month ago (which I would not recommend as it … Continue reading Planning My Way Through RPGs Since 2006
Spirit Tracks is the second Legend of Zelda game that was released on the Nintendo DS. It follows Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, though I think this one takes places generations after Phantom Hourglass (but let's not worry about the Legend of Zelda timeline right now). I ended up just picking this game up on … Continue reading A Slow Ride Through The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
I'm making this post only because I need to hold myself accountable for this messy backlog of mine and to make it into a nice organized list. In this next month alone Astral Chain, Link's Awakening, Daemon X Machina, Dragon Quest XI S, and Borderlands 3 are all being released and that's a lot of … Continue reading Backlog – 08/28/2019
My gaming group got a hold of an interesting little co-op game recently from our local game store (speaking of which, support your friendly local game stores!) called Flip Ships. I don't know if any of us really knew what we were getting ourselves into. I've only played it three times so far, so I … Continue reading Flip Ships – A Game About Flipping Ships
I've changed the blog's headline from Games and Books // Reviews and Thoughts to Games (and Other Bits) // Musings and Thoughts. This is more in line with the direction that I think I want to go with this blog. "Musings" sounds a bit more free flowing than "Reviews". I think I've enjoyed writing my thoughts, experiences, and … Continue reading A Small Blog Change
Disgaea is such a weird series. I'll never be able to explain Disgaea 5 better than this video (8:51) so I'm just going to leave this here and then continue to ramble about my experience with the game. When I bought my Switch last year, I picked up a copy of Disgaea 5 because I felt … Continue reading Disgaea 5 and a Love For Numbers
I'm not lying when I say that I've been waiting for Bloodstained since 2008. In 2008, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia was released and that was more or less THE game that got me interested in video games that didn't have the word "Pokemon" in the title. Within a short period of time I went and … Continue reading Bloodstained From the Perspective of a Castlevania Fangirl
