There's something truly magical about fishing, and for me, it's not just about the catch. It's about escaping the noise and creating what I like to call my own "Jacques Cousteau moment." You know, that serene, almost spiritual experience where you feel completely connected to nature. My inner monologue is always a s…

Blocking is fundamental: back to block vs the block button
Blocking is fundamental in fighting games, and I've been thinking a lot about the difference between "back to block" and using a dedicated block button. I'm just going to lay it out here and assume there may be an argument against the truth: pressing back to block feels inherently more natural in fighting games. It'…

Get Bonked or Bonk yawning: Bonk's Adventure on NES
I've been trying to wrap my head around the whole "hidden gem" thing with Bonk's Adventure on the NES. It's one of those games that gets hyped up in YouTube videos, the kind that's supposed to be a revelation. You know, cave boy, angry meat, head-butting dinosaurs. It's a quirky concept, I'll give it tha…

Were the SNES Mortal Kombat Fatalities secretly better than the Arcade?
Gaming in the years where politicians gave game devs swirlies, and forced them to change stuff for their most anticipated home ports. I think this is gonna be the 3rd or so time I post this article online. First, it was on a static site I kinda wish I kept a backup of. Then, it was on another blog that's currently private for reasons…

The most valuable lesson I learned from playing video games
I'd be lying if I said I could remember the first video game I played . It was probably on the Atari 2600. It may have been Atlantis ...or Asteroids ...Or Star Master . The game itself doesn't matter, it's more about the overall activity being engaging enough to grab my attention, and never letting go . There's a lot of crap …

The Virtua World of Wrestling: Go To Sleep
The biggest travesty with Punk's messy departure from AEW is that we never got to see him feud with KENTA. Before I go any further into that dream match never having a chance of happening, I just wanna mention that Jeffry McWild has always been a low key cool character trapped behind a bland design. He's a fisherman who got his boa…

One does not simply RENT a hero...
In between acting like I'm a stud at Virtua Fighter 3tb , and trying to find the best teammates(note: equally as cool) for Kyosuke in Project justice , I'm also trying to get into Rent-a-Hero No. 1 on the Sega Dreamcast . The game was translated...I dunno how long ago, and It's probably gonna be my gateway drug to Shenmue when i…

The Virtua World of Wrestling: Hellavator
With Virtua Fighter 5 getting a rerelease, and VF6 being actively worked on while long time fans collectively lose their shit over this being for real, I've decided to check up on the series through random tournaments and character specific move videos. One thing I always loved about Virtua Fighter is the different Professional wrestl…

Kiss of Death: .hack//Link
I decided to check out this game because I can emulate it and don't have to spend money on Sony products to play it now remember liking the concept of .hack//SIGN when I watched it on Toonami back in the day. Also, I never could get a hold of the ps2 games in this series. They looked pretty neat , but I have no idea that the gameplay e…
