2022

LOL. I really suck at parrying.

It took three decades and a lot of false starts, but I finally made it all the way through FFV… and it was worth the wait. Not as narratively rich as FF4 or FF6, but the unfathomable mechanical depth offered by its job system more than makes up for this fact. Also: evil trees and wizard turtles are both hilarious and awesome. Great game.

I guess this is just my life now.

Something, something, "more like deCRAP attack," etc. etc. etc.

I'm still capable of playing through Golden Axe I and II with my nostalgia goggles firmly in place, but I can't really say the same about III. I kinda liked the cat dude and the idea of branching paths, I guess, but if we're being honest... I'd much rather play Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara instead.

An unmitigated disaster marred by tedious gameplay, limited match types, reams of jank, and some of the ugliest Eldritch horror faces this side of Monster Factory. It’s a good thing my AEW fandom has waned into virtual nonexistence at this point because otherwise playing this would have been a total heartbreaker.

But I dunno, ragdolling CM Punk into exploding barb wire was kinda fun for a little while.

Endlessly charming. Slight, but still pretty fun.
