Reviews – Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition
OVERVIEW: Dark Souls is the spiritual successor to Demons’ Souls by From Software and just like that game, it is brutally difficult and unforgiving. Both games are Action RPGs, […]
Happy New Year!!
Hello all, just here to wish you all an absolutely fantastic 2013. As for me, 2012 was a very good year. Sure, it had its disappointments, its bad moments, I got angry, sad, I raged, I was frustrated, etc. But there was also quite a lot of joy, of accomplishment, of new experiences and a great deal of learning, which […]
The Telltale Games Sam & Max series
“You crack me up little buddy…” Is something you’ll hear quite a bit in Sam & Max, and it never gets old or annoying. For those like […]
Reviews – Borderlands 2
Come join the party in the dust and the sand…Says a Borderlands 2 inspired song by Gavin Dunne from Escapist Magazine’s Miracle of Sound (which by the way, yes, that […]
Review – Tales of Monkey Island
I had originally planned on writing one big massive review of all the Telltale games, but I still haven’t finished playing through The Walking Dead and Wallace & Gromit (on […]
Review – Mark of the Ninja
This is the first of many reviews to come, aimed not at potential buyers just as a game is about to be release (you have IGN & Gamespot for that), […]
D3 – Diablo Disappointment Discussion
WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Diablo 3, a lot’s been said about it and now’s my turn. Let’s get a few things out of the way: No, it’s not Diablo 2, it’s not that game with a better engine and it was never meant to be. The game was never going to fulfill the fanbase’s expectations, mostly […]
A Visual Matter
As of 6am today, all of Venezuela, my country, is “celebrating” its Presidential Elections…just wanted to say that. And now for something completely different! Games, specifically, Video Games. Being a visual media, we have to accept that Visuals, the graphics are important, the question is, just how much? I think that like with many things, it depends on the case […]
Genres & Gems
Second on these gaming posts. This one’s all about genres. No, I’m not gonna define the genres, you can check Wikipedia for those, but I am gonna talk about my favorites and mention a few games in each, little gems you might not know about. Let’s kick it off with RPGS, my favorite.
The nature of a Classic
This week I’ve been pondering the question: What makes a game “a classic”? Classics are, by definition, those that best represent their genre, style, etc. But how is it that of two games one is a classic and the other isn’t? When both do the same things? You could say the one that releases first is the classic, but that’s […]
Politics – Back in the day…
I will say this only once. I HATE POLITICS. It didn’t used to be like that. Once upon a time, politics, politicians, governments and such didn’t even cross my mind, the only time it did was when there was an election coming. Now, politics are part of our everyday lives, and we listen to politicians argue and bicker at least […]
Relationship BS
This won’t be a popular topic, and won’t endear me to some people, but the truth (or at least my truth) must be said. This is about relationships, most specifically, about the protocols and hurdles we all put in front of us to make something as simple as Person A + Person B incredibly complicated. By “WE”, I mean the […]
First Impressions
I’ve had this post in my head for a while now, ever since a friend of mine told me, a few weeks ago, that I should change the way I act, how I talk, basically WHO I AM, because, according to him “I make a terrible first impression and those who don’t know me think I’m a dick”… You know […]
Geographical Identity…
This week I saw a YouTube video called “Caracas, Ciudad de Despedidas” (Caracas, City of Farewells), and was fascinated, not by the video, since it was a 17 minute documentary with 12 minutes of pointless transition shots and music; but by the general response. Insults, dislikes, criticism and bile flew out with force and frequency, people wouldn’t let it die…it […]
The Past
This post is not what I promised, not another diary, not another story; instead it’s another rant, another stroke of conscience or insight. Have you ever regretted anything? Not kissing that girl when you should have or not punching that idiot’s face in? I’ve regretted a few of those, more times than I can count, and every time I […]
First post ever…
First of all, forgive the state of the place, still tweaking the design and am waiting for a nice drawing to use as banner (don’t really like having the name on it’s own, rather have a doodle). This blog represents both an amazing opportunity for myself and an terrible defeat. On one side, I’ll be able to post my random […]
