For the past few weeks I’ve gone over my little Pilot Season, inspired by what Amazon does with its proposed series. Each week I’ve shown you the first episode of a proposed Let’s Play series on The Mental Attic’s YouTube channel.
The first one was Ori and the Blind Forest, followed by Hollow Knight and last week Dead Cells. Well, I’ve left the weirdest for last. Continue reading Pilot Season – Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom
You know me, I’m always up for a good discussion, no matter if it’s games, films, TV series or even books and writing. So, when the crew of Later Levels approached me for a monthly gaming Q&A, hopefully to create some great debates around video games, it didn’t take much for me to see that it could be fun.
Every month, I’ll present you with the question and my answer. If you’d like to join, get in touch with Later Levels. The rules are simple, in fact there is only one to note: your answer must be in 100 words or fewer.
This month’s question is: What video game deserved a sequel but didn’t get one? Continue reading Gaming Q&A – August 2017 – What video game deserved a sequel but didn’t get one?
On Friday I mentioned my intent to return to the wonderful world of Let’s Play series on YouTube, but that to make things interesting and leave it to the audience to decide which series they’d like to go with, I would imitate Amazon on its Pilot Season, where they show the first episode of potential TV series, picking the most popular to go forward at the end of the preliminary season. Continue reading Pilot Season – Week 1 – Ori and the Blind Forest
Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Japanese television series, from anime to Live action series and I’ve come to realise that the tropes we often refer to as “Anime Tropes” are predominant across all Japanese media, with some of it even crossing over into the world of gaming. Continue reading Favourite Japanese Media Tropes – Main Theme Insert
A few years ago, I wrote about Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and how much I enjoyed it. At the time, I had seen the first two story arcs of the anime and reach halfway through the third on the manga it’s adapted from, but because of changes in my life, I lost track of the series and didn’t see the adaptation of the third story arc, Stardust Crusaders.
Until now. I’ve been enjoying it for the past couple of weeks, taking any free time I can to go through its 48 episodes of pure undiluted madness. Continue reading Binge Watching – Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
I’ve mentioned my appreciation for Kamen Rider in the past, and I’m now enjoying the latest series, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. But while in the past I’ve gone in depth into Tokusatsu series and Kamen Rider and even though Ex-Aid is as good as those that came before, today I’m not going to focus on the series, plot or characters, but instead on the amazingly positive message it has for gamers and gaming. Continue reading Gaming Medicine – Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
It finally happened. Earlier this week I reached the end of the line with the Nancy Drew adventure game series, playing and finishing Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness, the last title released in the series so far. Continue reading Nancy Drew – End of the road?
March 2017 might be the most kickass month of this year.
Ok, maybe it’s a stretch considering it’s very early in 2017 and there’s lots of things to come, but March is surely bringing a lot of cool things that I’m really excited about…and a few others for which I’m less than thrilled, but I won’t go into them, mostly because it’s about politics, bonehead decisions and more politics.
So, let’s move into why I’m so excited about March 2017: Continue reading Awesomeness in March
I promise, this will be one of the last Nancy Drew articles I write…maybe. Ok, it’s not likely. I like the games and there’s lots of them to talk about.
But what I want to talk about today is not about my experience. Instead, for those who haven’t played a single game in the series and don’t know how or when to jump in, I’d like to help you out. These are the things you need to know and accept before you jump into HeR Interactive’s long-running Nancy Drew series. Continue reading 7 Things you Need to Accept to Enjoy the Nancy Drew Series
Can you believe I’ve had this review drafted for a couple of years? Now, much like things happen in the world of Constantine, it’s begun to haunt me, to possess the other parts of The Mental Attic, so I have no choice but to send it out into the world and hope it doesn’t do much damage…ok, maybe that was a bit dramatic, but here’s the review of the first and only season of Constantine, the second (and best) adaptation of Hellblazer and the adventures of John Constantine!
