After 2020, 2021 started with a bold new direction of awful beyond comprehension. I won’t really get into that, but needless to say it was an inauspicious start. However overall 2021 turned out to mostly be a better year than its...

2020 was a rough year, and especially in the context of 2021 so far (yeah I’ve taken forever to get this one out) we increasingly see how bad it was behind the scenes. 2021 started out pretty rough too, but things are on the mend...

DOOM 2016, or DOOM4 as I’ll be shortening it to. Is probably my favorite game of all time.  This isn’t a shock to anyone who knows me-I talk all the time about how much I love the game, how effective I find it, how go...

Twas a quieter year than other ones, this year. Still, it happens-next year appears to be overstuffed to bursting during the spring season so things may change but this year was a relatively quiet one for me gameswise, least as far as ...

And heres the second part, continuing on from the first. I'd reccomend perusing that before reading this.  Internet connectivity  In a perfect world, internet everywhere would be about approximate. Rural areas would get servi...

The Google stadia is a system I find interesting. Theoretically a streaming console is an interesting idea-imagine being able to stream a powerful, high quality game on a weaker piece of equipment with a strong internet connection. Tha...

Rats. Even saying that name brings to mind disease, plague, and filth. Its something that seems almost, whether it be through some genetic imperative or a cultural one but regardless of origin its a creature many of us-at least in th...

Anywho, after the SP came the rise of the DS-a big clunky monster that brought a bunch of new stuff to the table. For starters it had dual screens-including a touchscreen that allowed for a fair few games that toyed with that gimmick, ...

In the interest of trying to cover up the fact that I’m a cynical and bitter husk of a human being be more positive here or there, I figured I’d talk about something that I love. Portable consoles-since my first handheld th...

First off, I’m going to be straightforward and explain that this is a blog written partially out of frustration and anger. I want to write it to help get that anger out, because I often find writing to be therapeutic for helping ...

I like dem videogarmes. Honestly, I think these past few years are some of my favorite ever in terms of the games we've seen. Theres been such a glut of great games, with so many of them really exploring what the medium can do or explo...

Here we have another episode of Gallerytoid, ready to gorge on.  In this episode we find ourselves discussing Hotline Miami, get derailed by a discussion of the trials and tribulations of Dinosirs TV adventures and so on. I also ...

Thats right motherfuckers, after like a thousand years we've returned to light up your life and fill it with our opinions. We ran into some editing snags, but after locking limo in the tower and depriving him of food for long enough he...

My experience with Warframe is not a unique one. Like many in the recent wave of people rediscovering the game it was something I had played years ago and decided wasn’t really my speed. The Galaxy map was sloppy and confusing, t...

First off, I want to thank LaTerry for taking up the mantle and putting in the effort to resurrect Band of Bloggers. Twas a thing before my time, but more prompts to write blogs and more topics to write about will doubtless be a boon t...

The earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Life on earth is about 4 billion years old. And modern humans are about 40,000 years old. It's an interesting thought I find, to muse on this age differential, especially when you consider t...

In this episode a new challenger approaches, under the name of Dinosir. He also edited this episode which you'll come to understand the relevance of as you listen to it. I'll apologize as we ran into some audio hiccups and it took some...

For this weeks episode Limo and I wander into one of the best "walking simulators" in the buisness, discuss player agency and good game design, and I attempt to survive Limos constant, endless verbal beratements for not playing a game...

Hey folks, I'm here with my latest blog about-NOPE, GOT YA ITS A PODCAST YOU FUCKERS!!!! Thats right, after endless hinting and ruminations on doing just a podcast its finally come together. I had been considering doing a podcast for ...

I love video games. That's obvious-I’m knee deep in the Dtoid, and I write about video games consistently. Its a shared love that ties us together even if some of us have terrible opinions about them like implying Fallout New Veg...

Well, it's that time of year once more isn’t it? All of the games I’ve looked forward to have come out and been played with one or two missed in the running. Such things are bound to happen, and the time one has to invest i...

Here or there, I see new people come into the blogosphere and here or there they ask for advice or make some common mistakes. I’ve been writing blogs since 2009-about 6 years by this point and a recent query about the frequency &...

Well dear children, gather round as I tell you all about one of the most wonderful events one can partake in-that of good bad movie night. Here I thought it would be fun to look back at how my particular group formed and proffer some a...

Last time we went over the mechanical and gameplay aspects of Bloodborne. Here we go over basically everything else I felt like talking about. I’ll link Part 1 here but hopefully you enjoy the thrilling conclusion to this two-par...

I am a man who likes his Metroids. I’ve had a fondness for this franchise for years and I was ruminating on discussing it with a brand new sidescrolling game upon us in the form of Samus Returns. With the Schooled Bloggers wanted...

I love From Software's various souls games-excluding Dark Souls 2 I really like all of them and I’ve managed to beat every single one including Dark Souls 2. So you can imagine my sadness and frustration when I learned that Blood...

Opinions are a tricky thing-especially in something with as many moving parts as a video game one can find a massive gulf in the opinions on any given game, its mechanics or its visuals and this can lead to a thought provoking discussi...

Specter of Torment is the second of the DLC campaigns to come from Yacht Club games and as you might imagine, its good! But that does come with some caveats and opinions on the matter of course. So without further delay, lets get ...

The PlayStation vita is the best console made by man, god, or some superior organism to both (like a bacterium) and throughout the five years I have owned it I often muse on how damn much I like the thing. Conveniently there&rsquo...

Ah yes, another year passes by. Gonna be honest-in regards to politics, celebrities dying and random other stuff I’m sure, it’s been a kind of shitty year. In regards to games however, it’s been quite a good year! It&...
