If one’s good, two’s probably great. That’s the general idea of more is better and a particularly notable line from The Social Network. But that doesn’t really work past a certain point, as our current shared existence in this late-stage capitalism hellscape makes all too clear. Too much of a good thing isn’t always great, and that translates… Continue reading Too Much

Okay, But Is It Good?
As I play through Fallout 4 I’m plagued by a nagging question. It’s not "where is my son?", the question the game’s story wants you to ask (I’ve thoroughly lost the plot), instead I’m left asking myself "Is this game any good?" And I’m not so sure it is. The gameplay is perfectly fine, though… Continue reading Okay, But Is It Good?
Spidey’s Kicks
I started playing Spider-Man: Miles Morales recently, in-between outs of Horizon Forbidden West (80+ hours and 75% done!). It’s great so far; I mean, it’s more Spider-Man and that was a game I really liked. It’s fun to play as Miles and I’m enjoying his arc (and I look forward to seeing where it goes).… Continue reading Spidey’s Kicks
Side quests of War
I’ve been slowly making my way through God of War, a game from a series I’ve never played before and known very little about. It’s fun, coming to a series like this in its older-and-wiser stage (I supposed it’d be like having Uncharted 4 as your first Uncharted game, or Logan your first Wolverine movie).… Continue reading Side quests of War
Destiny’s Got Plot, But Now Where Is It?
A new Destiny expansion came out and I have played it because I love me some Destiny. It’s got a whole new campaign adventure with a fun story twist: where the last expansion had the good guys learning to wield the Darkness (normally bad guy stuff), this time the bad guys have learnt to wield… Continue reading Destiny’s Got Plot, But Now Where Is It?
Adventuring Out West
If I had my way, I’d probably skip this week’s blog post again. Because I’m still playing Horizon: Forbidden West and I want to play more of it. Because I think it’s really good and I want to explore and enjoy everything it has to offer. Plus there’s a dope photo mode. I think part… Continue reading Adventuring Out West
Out Of Office
Look, I should probably have a blog post today. But Horizon Forbidden West came out yesterday. And the first game, Horizon Zero Dawn, was one of my favorite games for the PlayStation 4 (and I didn't write about it enough). And I've been waiting for Forbidden West for ages, and it's why I worked so… Continue reading Out Of Office
Guardians of The Trauma
There’s a new(ish) Guardians of The Galaxy game that I’m finally getting around to playing. As someone who really dug the second volume of Guardians comics, I’m really enjoying the way the game weaves that version of the mythos with the MCU’s iteration to create something that really feels like the best of both worlds,… Continue reading Guardians of The Trauma
Awakenings
Courtesy of a cross-Pacific flight, I finally got around to starting Link’s Awakening. It’s still pretty novel, to be able to play on a console like the Switch on a plane when not fading in and out of consciousness while seeking a semblance of sleep or finishing N. K. Jemisin’s The City We Became (which… Continue reading Awakenings
Best Zelda Game
Link’s Awakening is the best The Legend of Zelda game. And I say this as someone who loves Breath of The Wild for its exploration and horse music. I usually prefer the classic top-down Zelda games (Link To The Past, the Oracle games, Minish Cap), maybe because I like how tight meticulously crafted their worlds… Continue reading Best Zelda Game
