Card Game story

Side note- This was just a random offshoot, I'm not really sure where I was going with this. Don't ask questions about this one, I don't even know. After blood, this was a good change of pace.

The night was young, and the man across from me stared at me with a sort of burning ambition in his eyes. We had started a card game. I didn’t actually know how to play poker so the man suggested we play a simple game of war. We hadn’t been playing for too long before we realized our decks were at sort of an impasse.

Text dump- I mean, NEW STORY!

As a preface, this story be weird and depressing. That is all.

GIVE ME IDEAS!

I have run out of article ideas. *cries*. GIVE ME YOURS IN THE COMMENTS. And I probably won't do them, but still, it's the thought that counts. Here's a random picture to get your brain going.

The NEXT greatest video.

Sometimes you get a perfect video, like last time. And then, sometimes you get ANOTHER one. Yeah, this is a stopgap post BUT WHATEVER!

Top 5 blur songs

It had to be done. To most(in america anyway) blur was simply a one hit wonder band, but that's really selling their discography short( and no, song 2 is not on this list).


5-Charmless Man: This song is pure mockery, AND I LOVE IT.
4-Trimm trabb: this IS the saving grace of 13, an album so steeped in emotion it drags immensely. This song is what makes it worth listening.
3-Out of time The stand out track from think tank, this song is just... pretty.
2- The universal: out of all the blur songs, this one is here purely by melody, as the whole setup is not ever fully realized. BUT THAT CHORUS.
1- Blue Jeans: It's been said before, but for what blur IS, this is the perfect blur song.

Go listen to all these songs, and the albums they come from. NOW.

Cool RPGs!

-Wild arms

This game is VERY dated visually, but it's still enjoyable to play. A unique element is the big emphasis on puzzle solving. Random encounters + hard puzzles = frustration...

Game Recommendations

I've left breakfast mess on the front page for a long time :/ Anyway, here is a new article- Game recommendations! This way I can write a bit about games I've played without writing a full review!

Smash Bros (Wii U)
- an obvious recommendation, it's pretty simple to see why I'd recommend it. It's a fun fighting game.

Virtue's Last reward-
-This game. This game is amazing! So many possible paths and great puzzles, it puts nearly everything else out there to shame! However, you'll only get the full experience if you play 999, the first in the planned trilogy first.

Gone Home-
-I honestly can't say why I recommend this without spoiling things, I will just say it's a great example of storytelling in a game.

UPDATE: Favorite games of 2014: Link's Awakening:

This was worth making it's own post for. I have not yet finished LA (that acronym tho), but I can easily say that it is AMAZING in every way. I recently said that I had little love for the Oracle games on GBC, and that is still true. Also, I actually got this game on the 3DS virtual a year ago. But playing it on a Gameboy sold me. This is one of the best Zelda games ever made.

My top 5 Gameboy/color Games

NOPE, BLOG IS NOT DEAD!

I've been into collecting gameboy games recently (my poor wallet....) so I thought this was the I deal time to list my favorites.

Honorable mentions: Oracle of Ages/Seasons-
Oracle of Ages/Seasons were my earliest handheld Zelda games. It's too bad they are the worst handheld Zelda games. Although, looking at the namesake, that's like saying it's the worst of the best.

5: Mario Tennis.
Mario tennis for the GBC is just as good as Mario tennis for the N64. Let that sink in.

My Favorite games of 2014(thus far)

I liked some games in 2014. Here are some of them

VISUAL NOVELSSSSSS

Y U NO GIVE US, NIS AMERICA??

Danganranpa 1 and 2: I reviewed 2 on this blog, you should know why I love it already.

999: This is a visual novel like DGR, but with more puzzle elements. It was awesome, but too much emphasis an playing OVER AND OVER.

Atari 7800 Review

Hello all! I know I haven't posted much to the dismay of overbearing people who keep REMINDING ME! Anyway, the review hinted at for like EVER is here!

The Atari 7800:

Console Design: It looks nice with that slim band on the top, and is extremely sturdy!

Controllers: Essentially imagine the black box of pain from Dune. EXCEPT GOOFIER LOOKING! The buttons are horrible, and at difficult to use positions. The joystick isn't winning any awards either. I've seen many video of people holding these things, and none of them have found a good solution for where to put their hands! This makes the 2600 controller look heavenly. At least it won't break like the 5200 controller. Note: You can use genesis controllers for 2600 games, but I found some issues using them with 7800 games.

Graphics: Atari 7800 games exist in that odd area between systems like the 5200 and the NES. It's superior to the 5200, but not by much. It's inferior to the NES, but not by much. The fact that it's release AFTER the NES is inexcusable.

Games: Atari 7800 games are usually similar to 2600 games stylistically. The library of the 7800 has far fewer titles, but also less shovel-ware. It's a mixed bag overall. HOWEVER! The 7800 can also play 2600 games. This makes the 7800 the version to get simply because it supports both systems very well.

Conclusion: This is a system that will win few awards in pretty much anything, but it performs solidly in almost everything. Collect-ability: C+

Blog update 10\16

Phew, haven't posted in a while. This is just a heads up, Atari review coming soon, also expect some other random junk coming soon. Maybe a top games of 2014 list? Stay tuned.
