Vampire Survivors is the purest video game

06/16/2023

I can't explain why I love this game, but I also love games made by people who clearly love this game, so I guess it's not just me.

I hate this game. See you tomorrow

03/13/2022

I should just stop playing, but I got this streak going.

Gran Turismo 7

03/12/2022

The best parts of this game are the photo mode and car customisation. The worst part is American cars. I wonder why American manufacturers don't connect the steering wheel to the front wheels. I know they have long straight roads there but there are some corners.

OlliOlli World

02/13/2022

I loved the first two OliOlli games. Played hours and hours of them on Vita and then again on Switch. They're the perfect auto-runner and, in many ways, share a lot of commonality with the decent Sonic games.

Burgers and AI

We launched two sites recently, pretty much on the same day, for two very different companies.

Spider-Man Miles Morales

02/21/2021

I right-place-right-timed my way to a PS5 this week. It's the first time in ages that I haven't picked up a console I wanted on launch day.

I wasn't rushing to get one because there wasn't a launch title that I was drawn to, but that turned out to be wrong.

Pulling me back in

Damn it, Animal Crossing, with your cute pumpkins and halloween decorations! Fine I'll play some more.

Shortcuts for GIFs

07/02/2020

I love GIFs. I use them all the time. On my laptop, I have a LaunchBar custom bookmarks index that lists them all so that they're searchable and I can access them easily, but that's more difficult in iOS. I decided to see if I could use iOS' Shortcuts app to give me some sort of search UI for them, and it turns out I can!

Horizon Zero Dawn

06/28/2020

When this game came out, I think it was super close to Breath of the Wild (I could look it up but why would I), so I was completely distracted. I'd been meaning to play it. It looked great, but Zelda just got in the way.

Need for Speed Heat

04/13/2020

Me: If I can get an RX-7 in this game I'm going to leave it completely stock.

Also me:

Slowing down

04/11/2020

When you pay off your home loan, as in life, you get the chance to enjoy a new pace of living, but the lack of structure can be demotivating.

A sure thing

04/10/2020

Sometimes a studio or publisher will luck into a game so perfect that they have to systematically destroy it in order to prove just how brilliant it is.

Fixing things you don't understand

04/06/2020

I don't really get how any of this works. So far I've just been doing things and they've been working OK most of the time

Cribs!

04/05/2020

What's up MTV? Welcome to my crib.

A Gold Rush

03/31/2020

Animal Crossing has a feature called the Stalk Market. You buy turnips once a week then hedge your bets on making a return.

Animal Crossing in Isolation

03/29/2020

I'm really fortunate to be part of a group of people who are pretty much all playing Animal Crossing right now

We're here!

03/20/2020

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is finally here

Pokémon Generation 8 is a delight

02/10/2020

I seriously can't believe how charming this game is
