Altar II

Looks like an amazing piece of engineering, if it exists.

What's the name for when art is only about itself?

I started to write a post about the redesign of this site, and all the cool stuff it can do, but then thought better of it - I assume people can figure it out. Besides, clicking around and looking at stuff is supposed to be fun. The whole point of this enterprise is to be surfin the web. But anyway that got me thinking, does anyone else have an extreme aversion to when art becomes…

Bubbles

Took a minute to figure out what’s going on here. You have to read the about page. Great idea for a site and has made my daily reading list.

Advanced V.G. 2

I don’t remember how it came to this but somehow I watched the Variable Geo OVA before trying to play any of the games. While there are several earlier games, I bounced off the ones I tried and this is the only one that stuck. Fortunately, this one also has a story mode, which is what this completion represents and what this review is for Fair warning if you’re considering looking up this series:…

Dragon Warrior IV

Programming note: This finally completes the original 4 Dragon Warrior games, which I didn’t know I would do, and which I started in 2020, apparently As far as the big picture of the whole series, this one is probably the most underwhelming and also the easiest (if we are being honest those things usually go hand in hand) HOWEVER, in spite of that, this installment starts out hotter than any of…

I think a lot of people now know what this game is, due to its rarity/price/etc, but for all the billion times you hear YouTubers reference that, none of them ever seem to think it’s important to mention that this is also a Psikyo game. And, major milestone here, the first ever Psikyo game I have completed legit on Normal mode (I am still trying to get my Gunbird clear) Small summary if you don’t…

Dragon Warrior II

I looked back on my Dragon Warrior history to write this little review, and while I have no memory of whether this was intentional, it appears I have now played them in the chronological order of the story. 3, then 1, then 2. Overall, not a bad idea whether it was intentional or not. Of these first 3 games, it’s hard to pick a favorite because they’re very samey, but in a good way. Dragon Warrior…

Ridge Racer 2

Like the screenshots say, this play-through was only a Basic/Pro/EX Tour run. I did not go for completions of the MAX tours. A little background (someone please write in and correct me if this is wrong): While this game is called Ridge Racer 2 , it is not a sequel. It is the 2004 “Ridge Racer” game for PSP, but with some new content added. If you have played this, you have also played all of the…
