Man, I still remember how profoundly let down people were by Halo 2's cliff hanger. And then the extremely long wait until Halo 3 to get any sort of closure. Not that it stopped anyone from enjoying it's multiplayer for years and years. I remember in college a roommate of mine had a hacked XBox with …

Well, I finished Unicorn Overlord . The final mission, really only the final boss of the final mission, felt nearly impossible. I was running around kicking the shit out of literally everything else that existed, but this dude was nearly one shotting every unit I had, taking almost no damage, and …

So, I've been super into Unicorn Overlord the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I've hit the point I always hit in tactical rpgs, where some of my party members have fallen hopelessly behind the curve, but now I need them. And so I have to grind them back up to being competitive. This is usually around …

I guess to elaborate, to me, The Library is practically the anti-Halo. Halo wows with it's relatively open and non-linear (for it's time) levels. The Library is aggressively linear. Early Halo enemies have some rather impressive, or at least entertaining AI. In The Library they mindlessly charge …

Ah sweet summer child. Wait until you get to The Library level. Maybe after you've finished it, google "halo the library worst level ever" and find some people commiserating. I can say personally when I came to Halo about 10 years after everyone else, I too got through about half the game really …

So – in addition to the games themselves do we also need to preserve the culture and customs how to play them properly ? Probably! You look through old issues of Computer Gaming World, and half the ads for gridders like EOB show hand drawn paper maps next to the game box! If you aren't making one …

I mean, take 2020 for instance. Of the top ten games from metacritic, GOG doesn't have a single one of them available DRM free. It's true that GOG doesn't have many top games from the recent years. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, Control was a fairly popular 2019 title and it's …

Funny enough this month's project is finding cracked versions of my games less then 10 years old. 3 are physical media but where the game and DLC and require activation, The oldest been from 2012 and still activated last year but no guarantee for how long. The final one is C&C Remastered on Steam, …

Weirdly enough, the same site I used to use back in the late 90's and early 00's was still up last I checked. Checking now, it is in fact still up, and the banner even proudly proclaims 1998-2023. Guess they haven't updated it for this year. They even still have nearly the exact same layout as I …

You know, I've seen a lot of headlines about this being a blow to emulation, and it is. But perhaps, just perhaps, if you are operating under the fig leaf that emulation is different from piracy, you shouldn't keep extensive logs of all the piracy you've done.

So, my NVDA holding finally 10x'ed, so I took some profits and splurged on an RTX 4070 Super. First on the list of games I'd been putting off is Cyberpunk 2077 . I avoided this game like the plague when it came out. But I guess it turns out CD Projekt actually fixed it over the years? A lot of …
