The clown’s always hilarious until he starts initiating mass genocide. Read more

Oh, Super Mario RPG, my forbidden love.

I always loved putting the Lazy Shell armor on Peach because it made her a freaking tank. Nothing is more badass than a giant fireball slamming into her and watching her not even flinch. She basically handled Culex on her own because he could hardly touch her.

Also Geno forever. Read more

RIP to all the Nintendogs who haven’t been fed since 2006. Read more

Better yet Hatsune Miku in God Eater Burst 2!

I bought Deus Ex months ago. You can imagine how antsy I’m getting waiting for it to unlock. Sadly, I’ll have to wait a few days as my PC workstation gets prepared to greet its newest component, a $2k+ Cintiq. (So much pre-setup and desk rearrangement for that.) Read more

I caught a wild Pigeot while spamming a row of Pokestops and had to differentiate between the wild one and my one that i’m training to take down gyms. Can’t wait to unleash this into battle.

Laters, everyone! This is my last article for the weekend. Been fun! Thank you for taking the time to read, sharing your stories with me, and for putting up with me all weekend long. You guys were great!

I remember that a few weeks back, whoever wrote this article said it was difficult to find the upcoming Indie releases/release dates for the Xbox One. I use this site a lot, and they list upcoming titles pretty well and are in front of it quite a bit. There can be changes at the last minute, but in general they are on Read more

The games on the old Commodore. Boulder Dash was a solid action game, and Infocom games helped me learn to read. Read more

The original Super Mario Bros. It was the first game I ever played (5 years old!), and the only game where my dad was better than me (he quickly found SMB2 and SMB3 too complicated, haha). He and I would play it long into the night with me always trying to beat his high score. Read more

Most of my childhood was my family jumping around between consoles, so for me it was Morrowind mostly, around when I turned 16 even though that’s not necessarily “childhood”. The first time we rented it I hated it because I didn’t understand the roll-based combat system. A while later my uncle bought it and since he Read more

Street Fighter II: the World Warrior. From the first time my spazzing hands somehow performed a shoryuken, I was hooked. Going to different arcades with me friends trying to see if there was any competition or learn new techniques. Read more

Shining Force 2, for the Sega Genesis

I have been through so many generations of consoles since the 8bit era that the list of games that influenced my childhood would be super long so I will just say what games I remember the most from each console: Read more

Megaman 2 was game with the biggest formative influence on me. The boss fights were addictive, the music got stuck in my head, the password grids quickly filled up a legal pad, and the Wily stages are still just bonkers, especially without those five-year-old reflexes. Read more

These three games ruled my life.

Reminds me of a certain...Swan > : )
