The world of game emulation has evolved over the past decade or so to provide near-flawless execution of classic hardware. As complex as hardware emulation actually is, to the normal user, the allure of being able to play all of their favorite childhood games, for free, is reason enough to download an emulator for their system of …

Summer Game Hauls, Presented by my Amiibo Collection!
If you know me personally or at least know what I look like, you probably can't imagine me spending an hour setting up and taking these pictures. But try harder - it'll be more ridiculous that way. In terms of my gaming collection, it's certainly been a good year so far! I have a love/hate thing with …

Nearing the End of Earthbound! Some Thoughts on End-Game
Following my 3 hour marathon completion of Pokemon Yellow of which I barely scraped by, I quickly switched gears back to Earthbound and decided I would wrap this one up next. Earthbound and Xenoblade Chronicles are so vastly different in terms of playstyle that I was having trouble bouncing back and fourth, and decided I would …

Wrapping my Head Around Earthbound, Finally…
In this post, I briefly discuss Earthbound, which I have been enjoying.
Earthbound Has Officially Made Me Feel Retarded
I picked up Earthbound on release day a few weeks back, thinking it would be like another amazing SNES RPG adventure that I'd become accustomed to. Now, I realize that this is a very quirky game, one based on Japan's view of the United States at the time, so I went into it pretty open …

A Few Words About Banjo-Tooie
In my never-ending crusade to take out a large backlog of video games, I recently moved on to the Nintendo 64, a system that admittedly didn't age too well, but then again still was pretty playable. I splurged $20 on a used controller because all of mine evidently grew legs and wandered away. I only have …
A Few Words About a Few Zelda Games
Zelda games are basically drugs to me. I don't know what it is about them exactly but they bring me right back to my younger years. It's easy to get overwhelmed as a kid with so much free time and so many video games to choose from: this is still the case now just as it was when …
