I make videos for Kotaku. I make video games for myself and my friends. I like writing fiction. Someday I will publish a novel. Who knows!

There are so many indie Metroidvanias and so few indie Zeldalikes. Which is weird, because I have the impression that a Metroidvania would be harder to make than a Zeldalike. (For one thing, you have jumping and verticality to plan for in level design.) Read more

GET THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s fantastic. Read more

there are a *LOT* of uncut gameplay-only videos on youtube dude Read more

I don’t need them when I am playing just the first dungeon on a new save and then immediately going back to my in-progress save on my other account immediately after I finish making this video :-3 Read more

Yeah, I made a whole lot of tiny cuts. This is something like 3 hours of game crunched down into 49 minutes~~~ I pass the (time) savings on to you. I try to keep a couple of long-ish uncut parts in there where I can. Read more

I don’t *HATE* Okami—I don’t even “dislike” it! I just don’t *like* it. “I don’t like” isn’t the same as “dislike” . . . well, not in my opinion, anyway! Read more

Hey, I was pre-law for a year in college, twenty years ago. I owe my professors this precision. Read more

I don’t know if you’ve played it or not, though that’s literally the way the game begins! He actually starts to say “Have I told you the story about the elf named Li—” and his grandchildren interrupt him with “like a million times”. Read more

Yeah, this is 6,000,000% not grounds for any kind of cease and desist lawsuit. As someone else said, you cannot copyright game mechanics (just characters). If you could, we would not be playing any video games right now because the industry would have literally died over 40 years ago. Heck, we wouldn’t have even ever Read more

hey, i liked xenoblade 2 and said a lot of nice stuff about it; you might be confusing me for someone else Read more

Oh, you can speed it up in this version! Read more

well, thanks! . . . i try not to talk about it too much, since it bankrupted me etc lol Read more
