  • In The Best Of All Possible Worlds, Suffering IS The Only Constant (Video Game Related)

    (tl;dr video companion to this article): Within the idea of the everyday, we as individuals have such a vast array of choices we can make, both in big and small ways, that can have a drastic number of outcomes that can change the course of our lives and transform the world around us. Why then,… Read more

  • Castlevania: Compartmentalizing The Complication, One Crazy Creature At A Time

    (The tl;dr video companion to this article): I’m a big fan of inversion in the name of critical thinking, so while the classic idiom goes “can’t see the forest for the trees” in terms of a cautionary tale about missing the big picture due to focusing on smaller details, I think inverting the old adage… Read more

  • The Comedic Cruelty Of Casual Crash Outs (Feat.Video Games)

    (The tl;dr video companion to this article): The art of crashing out with respectable tact is a talent reserved for those of us with only the mightiest of constitutions… …or untempered mental health issues, whatever you got in your tool belt, really. While being able to take a break from writing is fine and dandy,… Read more

  • Metal Gear Solid 4: The Sinful Savagery Of The Sizzle Reel Show Stealing Finale

    (The tl;dr companion video to this article): I think one of the best qualities a person can have also happens to be one of the best ways to go about media consumption in one’s day to day: don’t take it so fucking seriously. I feel as if I need to start posting this image as… Read more

  • Metal Gear Solid 4: The Bill Comes Due

    (The tl;dr video companion to this article): The everyday is filled with terrifying and tumultuous trials and tribulations….though that is no excuse to outsource all your problem solving abilities to AI. If one outsources all of their problems to AI…does one even have a life left to live? The launch of the Metal Gear Solid… Read more

  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Octocamo; Nobody Suspects A Thing

    (The tl;dr companion video to this article): The fun thing about most of the people I’ve known who play stealth games…is that they don’t seem to be overly concerned about the whole “sneaking bit”. I always recommend they could try, you know, staying hidden in cover and not being hair trigger about shooting anything that… Read more

  • Sampler Platter: Date Everything! Big Walk, And Star Fox

    (The tl;dr companion video to this article): Some days it feels like one has already failed before even getting out of bed. Ah, the joys of youth….(as in, this is a much harder proposition to pull off the older you get) Feeling particularly existential today, though I’m not entirely certain what inciting incident invited such… Read more

  • Words Of Wisdom: The State Of Gaming And The Loss Of Historical Value

    With so many issues plaguing us in this modern age, the everyday is certainly looking more dystopic with each passing week. The first big red flag for me that things are going wrong, quite honestly This week has been one of retrospection, as I have been detailing in my series of articles revolving around Halo:… Read more

  • Monetizing the Monotony

    “Ignorance is bliss” helps to remind us that a peace of mind is contingent with the notion…you’re better off not knowing. The truth shall set you free…the only problem is: freedom is terrifying I waxed more philosophically then I initially intended to in my last post, when discussing the utterly trivial nature of traditional reviews,… Read more

  • Not All Remakes Are Created Equal

    In spite of historically valued declarations on the matter, and the founding notions that formed the nations relevant to their genesis, men are in fact, not created equal, when more seriously considered by the unfortunate circumstances that surround our society. In a far less serious but relevant matter, the same can be said about video… Read more

  • Hoping The Duo Expeditions Update For Elden Ring: Nightreign Will Be My Hakuna Matata Moment

    “Our” trio is down to two Rejoice, Nightfarers! A severely demanded for u yupdate that many players from the Elden Ring community have been clamoring for, and one that is both long overdue and yet at the same time, surprisingly quick in it’s implementation, comes in the form of patch 1.02, aka, the Duos Expedition… Read more

  • To Do List: Video Game Binge Activate

    Time keeps on slipping… …into itself? That’s why today’s post is more of a bite sized tidbit, as it were, best laid plans and all that sometimes leaves one up the creek and without a paddle in the temporal department. I thoroughly suggest to anyone reading this that if you wish to get a new… Read more

  • Placating PlayStation

    Sometimes, traveling off of the beaten path can be a tricky endeavor, as the trail to travel lacks the guide book that can help one safely navigate the terrain, even if this safe navigation one seeks ends up being about something as silly as writing about video games. I say that in relation to the… Read more

  • Hell Needs Mood Lighting, Too

    With enough practice, one can even master the domain of hell. I’m not sure if this same logic is why Doom games have a “take it easy on me” break in period in earlier levels, but the warm up rounds of mindfully restrained sense of posturing make the burning sensation of hellfire a lot more… 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

  • Silent Hill f: Scared to let my guard down that the series makes a comeback

    The notion of Silent Hill returning to it’s former glory is more horrifying than what the trailer showcases…surprisingly Game series come and go, popularity waxes and wanes with the times, and what was popular yesterday is forgotten tomorrow. This cold hard reality that is the song and dance of the everyday in gaming spells gloom… Read more

  • Refreshing to see MGS3 hasn’t lost its charm in the Remake

    Konami is obviously not afraid to monkey around with this remake Silly puns aside, among the many trailers showed at Sony’s State of Play yesterday, a yearly event that showcases what PlayStation fans can look forward to in the next year coming to Sony’s platform, the new Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta trailer was shown,… Read more

  • This is what the skill to get a platinum trophy in Elden Ring looks like

    You might not be all that surprised by the difference in time investment, honestly A very similar looking screen greeted me before the end of the tutorial when I booted up Elden Ring: Nightreign, which I guess should come as no surprise to me, as it’s a bit of a tradition to die before the… Read more

  • Encyclopedia Muranica: What is Playing?

    The old saying is you should never judge a book by it’s cover. Educated guesses are probably okay though, right? Related to the point, I’ve definitely become more of a proponent of salvaging some value from any given situation: I think normally due to the notion that the every day ends up being a ghastly… Read more

  • Algorithms: Perpetuating Cycles of Violence

    (Spoilers for The Last of Us ahead) In many of my recent posts about Doom, I have included several different quotes involving Hell. Today I include one from Churchill: “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” The man obviously had Doom speedrunning in mind Speaking of which, I was delighted when I finished Doom: The… Read more
