  • The Sunsetting Days Of Nintendo’s Trend Setting Ways

    We have entered into a rather grim part of the year…that being the ever lamentable dregs of Joyless January, which I argue always brings forth the vibe of an emotionally bankrupt black hole that no joy can escape from within the spacetime continuum. Double your pleasure… In an ill conceived attempt in thinking I can… Read more

  • MKW: Self-Actualizing On The Race Track, One Blue Shell At A Time

    Not all who wander are lost… Others still, are just lost causes As I was finishing up “The Art of Losing” yesterday, the vibe it brought forth carried a certain finality to it, as if it was one of the last great insights I had the ability to muster, in sharing my deconstruction of Mario… Read more

  • Mario Kart World: The Dilapidation Of Virtual Domestication

    “Broadening one’s horizons” doesn’t always translate into an unequivocally good thing. When keeping it real goes wrong, yuletide edition. In grappling with the truth that confronts me, in all of its profanely greasy textures… the one involving the essence of what makes Mario Kart World the kind of racer it really is, I’m finding it… Read more

  • Mario Kart World: Redlining On The Scenic Route

    The last week of December is truly the no man’s land of modern civilization: just keep your head down, and hope for the best, as the apathetic insanity can’t last forever. Clocking into a shift feeling like getting ready to throw hands with a Balrog I was a bit ambitious yesterday, in both naming my… Read more

  • Words of Wisdom: Mind the Gap

    Things do not always turn out exactly as we had hoped. It’s important to try to laugh in the face of adversity Which is why today’s Words of Wisdom are Mind the Gap, which helps to remind us that we are often times presented with flaws, problematic scenarios, or less than ideal circumstances, but have… Read more

  • Nintendo About To Inspire A Whole New Generation Of Artists

    Gamers about to eat In a world plagued with anti-intellectualism and made stagnant with a shallow apathy towards creative endeavor, any instance of recognition with regards to bolstering creativity, inspiring imagination, or promoting artistic effort should be seen as a de facto moment in the modern day world, in helping to keep at bay the… Read more

  • Quick Posit: DK Bananza Represents A Missed Narrative Opportunity For Nintendo

    DK Bananza being day one for the Switch 2 would have gone a long way in Nintendo setting far better precedent in justifying price tags and solidifying Switch 2 vibe positive FOMO After seeing the overwhelmingly positive response from both fans and critics alike, I’m positively dumb founded by Nintendo’s missed opportunity in controlling the… Read more

  • Words of Wisdom: Sharing in “The Lack”

    Sometimes, it can feel like we are losing control of our own mind, or similarly, that some terrifyingly vital part of reality that makes it all work is just…missing. Not seen here: a terrifyingly vital part of reality missing: I.E. safety Which is why today’s words of wisdom are Sharing in “The Lack”, which is… Read more

  • Gex, Hegel, and the Master/Slave Dichotomy

    In my “first ever” madly paradoxical non-literal preview/review of Gex 1, one of three titles included in the recently released Gex Trilogy Remastered, as always, I designated no score to the title, much like I didn’t go out of my way to comment or scrutinize about every little detail involving the game, as is my… Read more

  • Blue Shells and Banana Peels

    This article is more of a drive-by-posting of sorts, but there’s always time for a spot of good news. To wit; it looks as if Nintendo confirmed the team behind Super Mario Odyssey is developing Donkey Kong Bananza. Looks like the next Donkey Kong is going to be “feature length”, as it were This much… Read more

  • disappointed in the post launch hype of the Switch 2

    Seems as if Mario Kart World is stalling at the starting line ever so slightly… Normally when a console launches, I’m lucky enough to be there day one, as at the very least, an individual launch title usually propels me to plop hundreds of bucks down for some shiny new hardware in the name of… Read more

  • (Revisting) The Greasy Reality of Mario Kart

    These days, I feel quite off when I’m not framing my gaming articles through the lens of philosophy. Almost as if my mention of philosophy in tandem with gaming has become not unlike Marvel editors’ desire to inject doom where no doom previously existed To that point (somehow), here on ATE, self-identity is a big… Read more
