Game Pass Me By

A few days ago, I beat Vampire Survivor. To me, this game represents what doing a lot well looks like: It’s fresh, unique, simplistic and addicting as all hell. I love the game so much that I almost think it deserves its own wri...

 
 
 

Calling My X

I just finished brushing my teeth and opened the bathroom door to my living room. I walk to my couch, sit, and grab the Xbox controller laying on the ground from the night before. I sit back a little further&nb...

 
 
 

[NVGR] - The Comfort of Inadequacy

If I could choose what race I could be, I’d be white. I’d have a good chin, red hair and beautiful blue eyes. They’d call me something like Mr. McBradly or something.    Not because I do...

 
 
 

"I Don't Speak Gamer"

It’s gloomy day in Montreal this Saturday. I don’t have anything that special lined up but I know that in the back of my mind that the easy thing for me to do would simply be to go about my ordinary routine. So today I...

 
 
 

Thoughts on my Backlog

There are too many games to count on my backlog for me to be considering another one. Right now I have Battleborn sitting in my PSN cart, and I might just pull the trigger despite my better judgement. I know I'm not the only one with ...

 
 
 

Bear With Me (Intro)

No one sees the value of simply drinking alone. It’s developed a pretty bad reputation over the years for obvious reasons. But for me, at a minimum, it’s a good way to just put my thoughts in line. There are many times whe...

 
 
 

[NVGR] Drinking Out Loud

 Warning: This blog is a bit dark, so skip it if you're having a good day. It's amazing how angry people get when you try to convince them to just get in a taxi when they've had 15 beers and three shots.  The screaming and f...

 
 
 
 

Thinking Out Loud

I remember travelling on a road trip with my parents, when they were healthy, and I said to my mother that I would gladly die for video games. My mother was very disappointed at the statements her 16-year-old son made at the time and ...

 
 
 
 

E3: Ace Cards

I was going to write like 3 articles like this but fuck it let’s go with one sold entry. So at E3 you have these moments, it doesn’t happen every year, it doesn’t happen all the time, but when they do, they change th...

 
 
 
 

VR Like It's 1963

When new hardware comes out in the form of an Eye Toy, a Wii remote, a Kinect etc. I always like to sit down and think of the possibilities that can happen with these new innovations and what could be done with the tech that has never...

 
 
 

In My Opinion, We Can Do More

I can be open to all opinions but it doesn't mean that I have to agree with everything that's out there, far from it. In this sporadic blog I'm going to write about some prefrences I have and some background. This may surprise a couple...

 
 
 

Fuck "Diversity"

There’s a sickness starting to develop in gaming and it’s mostly in the journalism. It was kinda prominent with Gamergate but now it’s almost as if some journalists almost feel hip to look at gaming as a whole and di...

 
 
 

Let Sonic Die

Why. Why haven’t we shot this rodent point blank? If there’s something that disagrees with me even more than Kingdom Hearts, it’s this fucking animal, Sonic the Hedgehog. How Sega’s still able to see the type o...

 
 
 

Don't Bring Your Fucking Toys to Work

I’m actually writing this blog at work because I have a bit of spare time before I need to get off my ass and tend to business. Today though, I wanted to talk about something that doesn’t seem to register with leagues of g...

 
 
 

My Top Ten Most Anticipated Games Right Now

Honestly I already have more quality games than I could even ask for. When I look at how many great games I have at my disposal, my only concern is living long enough to play them all. That being said, despite how great things already ...

 
 
 

My NES Inspired 8-Bit Biase

  I have a biased and I think it’s the only one I have when I look at a game honestly but it’s still there. And that’s a Nintendo biased. No, not your traditional all-things-Nintendo biased but an Original Ninten...

 
 
 

Gaming is MUCH Better Now

The worst part about being a gamer in his late twenties, has to be the constant nostalgic exaggerations that come from my generation about the quote on quote, “heyday of gaming.” In the mid-nineties. Now there may be a poi...

 
 
 

Shut Up and Pay Your Fucking Nintendo Tax

I’ve seen it for at least 15 years, I don’t think it’s as pronounced on this site but it never ceases to amaze me how forgetful many gamers are at the dawn of a new Nintendo system. Let me expand. I think the first t...

 
 
 

Looking Forward To PS4K

I’m having a hard time seeing the downside of the concept of a ‘PS4K’. Well, first of all, we don’t even know it’s a real thing. We need to cross that bridge first. But assuming it is, assuming they annou...

 
 
 

VR is NOT the Future of Gaming

I’ve honestly been hearing this crap since the mid-nineties, that one day, we’re going to put a helmet on and we’re going to be part of the game. Doesn’t matter who it was, people would look at the graphics get...

 
 
 

Don't mind a little dick

  Oh boy, here we go, I can almost hear the mouse clicking and the moderators flying over to this blog for a potential terms violation on my behalf. Don’t worry fellas, everything is under control, put the weapons down nice...

 
 
 

Seven AAA iPhone Games Without Compromise

  So I thought I’d take the time to make a list about a platform that tons of people own, but have never looked at it much like a true gaming console, because let’s face it, most of the games are either too fucking st...

 
 
 

Finding the Time to Game

Alright so nothing too edgy today but I thought I’d share a couple thoughts on something that comes up a lot when you’re pushing thirty and still have a bit of self-respect. Meaning, assuming you still have some respon...

 
 
 

This Blog Doesn't Really Matter

Buckle up you sensitive fucks because it’s about to get real for two seconds. Honestly, I don’t know what came first, the introverted pansy that gravitated toward games or the socially anxiety that came of them. It may be ...

 
 
 

Kingdom Heart: Chain of Mockeries

Uh oh, it’s time to take Kingdom Heart, line it next to your childhood and cue the firing squad because hot off the heels of the last disagreeable blog about our ‘dearly beloved’ franchise, Final Fantasy, comes the ga...

 
 
 

Platinum Demo: Kingdom Hearts 15

I was about to write a killer blog about the state of RPGs but there’s a couple things that have to be said, folks.  First of all, about Platinum Demo, what the fuck are we playing exactly? Square, have you no shame? I can&...

 
 
 

Undertale Belongs with the Greats

Can we stop pretending that Undertale isn’t one the best games ever made? Look, I’m not saying it’s greatest of all time but I’m getting pretty sick of a lot of geniuses throwing around their opinion about shit...
