Playing Games That Suck - Final Fantasy XIV Beta
Okay. So I got into the Final Fantasy XIV Beta. As a disclaimer, there are certainly things that could have changed from when I played until release. But let’s face it: release is, what, tomorrow? After the chaos that was betaregistration, the idea that Square Enix know what they are doing is laughable. There is only so much Square Enix could have changed about the game between beta and...

This Is My Life Currently
I am quite busy doing things other than writing scathing articles, so please forgive the pause. In the meantime, some Alex and Squall comic strips! Original Article

Done Prototyping
The prototype for the project I have been slaving over for the past few months is done. I am now relatively free until we begin development! Which means - that’s right - site and portfolio makeover! What, you didn’t actually think I would write about games, did you? Actually, I might delay the site redesign until I think up something that looks good. So you may see me being productive...

A Migration to Camerablogging
While I enjoy the written word very much, my dry wit does not seem to be conveying very well and my long-winded explanations about why games are my favorite thing in the world are losing people’s interest. Hence, I’m tempted to try something slightly different: camerablogging. I’m going to do an experiment and see how well my wit and analysis translate to video. I may be putting...

Escaping The Void
Over the past couple of months I have purchased an insane number of games off Steam because they were on sale I needed to get a broader scope of interesting game mechanics to look at aside from just “the most recent PS3 titles,” which all look like the same game anyway (God of War IV: Dante Alighieri Goes To Hell). One of the games I got my hands on was the little-known indie title The...

Screw the Game Criticism Button
I have put my Game Critiques in the body of the blog, just like a standard post, and have removed the stupid Game Criticism button from the top of the page. It was great for an older UI - in my newer one it’s not as effective, and with the presence of my Category list at the top right of the blog it is all too easy to find posts under the “Game Criticism” tag. So you can all just...

"The Controversial SPORE" Posted
It’s done. My critical analysis of SPORE is complete. I promised I would finish it… about a year ago? Well, I’ve had to do some soul searching. And some gaming. And I had to graduate, settle into my job, decide whether or not I was happy with where my life was going… Anyway, read the critique. It’s here:...

On Torchlight and Clones
I am currently writing about SPORE (I really am - I really want to) but in order to get rid of a bad writer’s block, I’ve taken a breather from it and am writing about something else first. Today, I want to bring up Torchlight. I’m fascinated by the outburst the game caused around the gaming culture - Steam users especially, since it seemed to be a Steam “event” and...
