  • Ocarina Of Time Remake: What We Do In The Shadows

    (Tl;dr video companion for this article): They say the best things in life are free. You know what else is free?

  • Ocarina Of Time Remake: Hell In A Well

    (Tl;dr video companion to this article): My favorite part of any piece of media is when someone sees what you’re watching, and then trying to justify either why you’re watching it, or that what you’re watching is “not usually like this”… Like being so embarrassed that you’re caught watching wrestling, you lie to whoever walked… Read more

  • Ocarina Of Time Remake: Stoking The Flames Of Nostalgia

    (Tl;dr video companion for this article): One must be careful about living too much in their own head, or alternatively, projecting a fictional standard on the everyday, as maintaining a sense of rigid idealism can become quite the Judas Iscariot to any thought process.

  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake; Aristotelian Means

    (Tl;dr video companion to this article): Try as we might, we can’t always get what we want.

  • 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 tl;dr companion video for this article): One thing is very clear, after spending enough time occupying space within the Pokémon community….Pokémon fans are fucking crazy.

    (The tl;dr companion video to this article): Ever have one of those days where the hits just keep on coming? Sadly, it feels like that was kind of a day one thing for me While I have greatly enjoyed my time with Pokémon Pokopia thus far, and may yet find value in posting random one… Read more

    (The tl;dr video companion to this article): I feel like I speak for the majority when I say it’s a rare moment when one is genuinely surprised by any generously sized proportions on offer these days. Bigger doesn’t always mean better of course, but outside of the absurdity of the size of kaijus attacking on… Read more

  • Pokopia: All Pokémon Are Created Equal, But Some Pokémon Are More Equal Than Others

    (The tl;dr companion video to this article): I’m always mindful these days about how much I allow myself to get caught up in the consumerist frenzy that begets so much of the modern day…if for nothing else but the sake of my own sanity. The age of men is nearing its end, I fear I’ve… Read more

  • Pokopia: Pokémon Of The World, Unite! You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Poké Balls

    (The tl;dr companion video to this article): Millenials have two things to look forward to these days: a new Pokémon game and how much getting out of bed sucks in the morning in your late 30’s and early 40’s. It use to be: I want to be the very best, like no one ever was!,… Read more

  • When Obsession meets Addiction: Enter, Pokémon Pokopia

    (The tl;dr companion video to this article): In an indifferent universe without inherent meaning, it is up to the individual to forge worthwhile reason for themselves, and for the sake of survival, and the future.

  • 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

  • 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

  • The Collateral Damage Of The Mobile Markets Slop(py)Failures

    For some, it’s a happy new year to celebrate… …for others, well…’Happy’ is a very strong word Which, I’m not too far off from, to be honest, but it’s really just been more of a slow start to the year than an abjectly disgusting one, thankfully. To that point, I’m not quite sure where the… 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 Art Of Losing

    When you can’t beat em: help them beat other people. An insane world demands crazy standards With void week nearly over, and the spacetime continuum jolting back into its proper volumized moment of “nowish” in question, the frozen absurdity of humanities follies regain virality unabated, and with it, totality of disappointment made manifest afresh once… Read more

  • MKW: The Nuclear Fallout Of The Rampant Rubber Banding Bureaucracy

    Let it not be said how existentially relevant the doctrine involving the military strategy MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) has been to humanity at large. In a MAD world, some pterodactyls just want to watch the world burn My continued exploration into the depths of Mario Kart World’s (MKW) metagame has been an engaging effort, to… Read more

  • MKW: Equalizing The Meritocracy of The Metagame

    As we continue to trudge with aimless abandon through the inane purgatory that is void week, we persist right alongside all of the air conditioned nightmares and blue collar existentialism along with it. Such a sense of isolation and monotony is enough to send one screaming hysterically into the night I continue to spend time… Read more

  • Virtual Identity and Best Intentions

    Sometimes, it’s the thought that counts. Other times, it’s probably for the best to leave well enough the fuck alone Here I am, at the end of the day, attempting to get something posted before midnight, not necessarily coming in totally prepared with a bunch of gameplay under my belt to reference, nor am I… 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
