Welcome to the Seventh Astral Era
After nearly six years since Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn entered Early Access on August 24, 2013, I finally completed the Main Scenario Quests for the 2.0 content. Operation Archon was a success, the Ultima Weapon has been destroyed,…
Shadowbringers Early Access!
Of course, I’m not ready. I’m never ready for a game’s release. With Shadowbrigners, the 5.0 expansion to Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIV, I’m quite behind. Shadowbringers unfolds a new story in new zones and raises the game’s level cap…
Zippy Zap, We Made It to Fuchsia City!
Zippy Zap is easily my favorite move in Game Freak’s Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! In fact, I almost use it exclusively on my overpowered little electric mouse. The move is taught early in the game by a Move Tutor in…

Hey, Listen!
Hack and slash games aren’t something I’m normally interested in, but The Legend of Zelda-themed Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition from Koei Tecmo developers Omega Force and Team Ninja for Nintendo Switch was something I thought I’d try if for no…
Nintendo Switch Online is here!
This past Tuesday, September 18th, Nintendo Switch Online released around 11 pm Eastern. With it came a Nintendo Entertainment System emulator. Twenty games are currently available with the launch, and I thought a run-through of Super Mario Bros. was in…
Goodbye, Wildstar
Having heard NCSOFT and Carbine Studios plan to shut down Wildstar, I recently re-downloaded it to say farewell. Wildstar never really was my thing, but it was a quality game, and I’m sure some people really liked its style and…
