"care for a mentat?"
old world blues is the most mid fallout new vegas dlc. it isn't bad, but it isn't astounding either. to start this off with something nice, yes: this dlc is the most charming new vegas dlc. it is very light hearted and has quite a lot of jokes in it, which is pretty unique for new vegas dlcs. buuuuut once you play new vegas as much as i do, the jokes really don't stand up. i can only hear doctor klien talk about penis feet so many times before it isn't that funny anymore. so what do you have left without the charm of the dlc? a whole bunch of xp. on my most recent run, this dlc got me from level 12 to level 21, which is not something to sneeze at. in fact, it's so vital to leveling up in new vegas that that's pretty much the only reason i touch it. combine this with the fact that this dlc HATES traditional firearm users, and you have a meh dlc that i play for a piece of loot or two and 10 free levels essentially

my favorite resident evil game to this day. the direction of taking it to a place like an arcade shooter? perfect choice, while also retaining how scary other resi games can be. the cast of characters (besides ethan) are fantastic, and they're all fun to hang around. i very much plan to return to this game as soon as i can. not much else to say. very fun.

"shoot the shopkeeper for a free gun!"
my rating for this game is what it is for me, not what i think its objective score is. I like this game but I'm so bad that 90% of my time is spent on the first floor. it gets so difficult at a point that it feels impossible for me. it doesn't help that the rng system is just fuck you levels of unlucky. the odds of getting anything decent before your starting gun is worthless is laughable. one day if I 'get good' I will update this review, but for now? a game that's too hard and unfair, not my fav combo.

"calm down max, you don't even like girls!"
as a game? any game you need a guide for is kinda meh these days. makes sense for the time when devs needed to make 2 hours of content last long enough to be considered a full game, but that was like 40 years ago now. however, putting any critical thought aside, sam and max are canonically gay and in love so this game gets an almost perfect rating. the dialog is fantastic, and this game was so charming i smiled the entire time. here's to season 2 being remastered next!

"you crack me up little buddy!"
oh what could have been. also i'm the first and only review on this thing so far? genuinely wonder how long it'll take someone to see this without going through my reviews. anyway, sam and max are gay and in love and if this game was released it'd probably be the best sam and max game currently

"you've got to go dig those holes"
my friend was nice enough to let me know this game was free on steam a few days back, and i really like it! very glad i picked it up. a cute little game with a satisfying loop of digging, selling, upgrading, and exploring. i hope they make another. not much else to say. a cute little game worth picking up

part 1.5 of my great telltale walking dead binge
I'm such a fucking sucker for this style of narrative. 5 loosely related stories that all end up put together, with cute little ties to one another that make the world of this series feel so alive. choice, once again, does not matter. but honestly? i'm alright with that. i wish it did, but true choice would take so long to program for. what you get is a nice little side dish that helped satiate the starving drove of walking dead fans until season 2 could roll out, which i am starting moments after posting this. the first half of this series is so good, and i'm excited to see what the second half holds for me

"please just call them zombies"
the start of my great telltale walking dead binge.
season one of telltale's the walking dead is a joy to play through, both visually and narratively. everyone knows that telltale games give you no choice, rather the illusion of choice, but it's easy to overlook it when what they do give you is good. it's great with emotionally investing you into the characters, the music is very minimal but is still beautiful when you hear it, and the art style? forget it. it is insane this is an xbox 360 title, it still looks brilliant. lee's death may be one of the most beautiful deaths a video game has ever given us. it still puts a lump in my throat. this season is incredibly solid, and is such a good introduction to the world of the walking dead, if you don't wanna be near rick grimes for some reason.

"was it worth it?"
I'm sure I could go on for paragraphs about how misunderstood of the narrative of this game is, and how it is bad in some ways but incredibly overhated, but I am going to keep this short and sweet.
the last of us 2 is much better than people give it credit for. there are plot holes and pretty blatant moments of mis-characterization, but for the most part, this game has a rather captivating story on it, that looks at interesting themes such as grief and the cycle of violence. the game play is just a straight upgrade from the first game. i don't want to get into it super hard, but this game is worth playing. it isn't perfect, but the hate it gets is unwarranted most of the time

"why are all these pages stuck together?"
the last of us is an absolutely astonishing game, front to back. the narrative, the game play, and the characters are all perfectly done. the protagonist and his companion feel like real people. this game is seriously a journey that is more than worth going through. played this right before starting tlou2 and man, it is just as good as when i played it 5 years ago.

a very cute, and well written experience. so far, toby fox is simply incapable of missing with his projects. just the right amount of fan service, as well as completely new concepts. all of the characters are amazing, and the upgrades from undertale's combat system really shine here. on top of all of that, it's free! just glad i waited until now to play this, so i can hop right into part 2! i know it won't dissapoint!

"we all get high, we all get high! but that don't make it right!"
does this sound familiar to you? a video game where you play as a high level enforcer in an outlaw gang. your character is one of the most rational and intelligent members of the group, which begins to fall apart around him over the course of the game. the leader of the gang is a charismatic old man who slowly reveals that he does not care for his gang, and wishes to stab all of them in the back. there is a man who follows the leader around constantly, and hates the protagonist to the point of trying to kill him. at the end of the protagonist's story, he ends up dying after a fight. through out the game, the protagonist ends up helping his ex lover multiple times, when it's obvious she does not care about him. man, red dead redemption 2 is a great game, huh? in all seriousness, it is astoundingly obvious how similar the story of johnny k and arthur morgan are, to the point i can not ignore it when i play this game. besides that though, this is an incredibly bleak addition to the gta series. there's little to be happy about in this tale, from start to finish. it's still really good though. the missions are fun, the new weapons are great, and constantly being able to use choppers (the best vehicles in gta 4) all culminate in a good 4-5 hour experience, that doesn't quite live up to gta 4's main story. the fan service is by far the best thing here.

"where are those last 3 fucking purple coins?!"
Mario odyssey is the closest I have ever gotten to wanting to break my "5 stars is reserved for tf2 only rule". this game feels absolutely perfect to me, from start to finish. every moment of this game is just packed with new ideas and worlds they just can not stop throwing at you, and it all just works. the controls feel fantastic, this has to be THE most satisfying platformer I have ever played. this game is just cute and fun. can't describe it much better. perfection, worth every penny. get it asap!

as a jerma fan, this game is a 5 out of 5 meme wise. as a game though? it's alright. it isn't boring, but it would not be enough to hold a non jerma fan. some fun, innovative ideas, with a length that does not stick around long enough to become boring. a nice, fun experience any jerma fan with steam would feel silly not playing at least once. it's also free, so don't be afraid to jump on this game!

“You know, the world could always use more heroes”
Before I start this review off properly, there are a few things I will tell you from the get go.
1: this will have little to do with the actual gameplay of overwatch. Go to ign if you really wanna know how the gameplay in a 5 year old game is
2: this review will be focusing very heavily on my personal experience with overwatch. If that isn’t something you want to read, bye.
3: This will probably be my longest review ever.
With that out of the way, it’s time for me to tell you how Overwatch has become the lowest rated game i will ever have on this website.
My story with overwatch started out not too different from a lot of others i’d imagine. I was a 15 year old kid with no money. From one source or another, I heard about a free first person shooter demo people were going crazy over: some game I knew nothing about, from a studio I knew nothing about: overwatch. Overwatch didn’t have to wait very long to draw me in. I believe I installed it within hours of the open beta going live. I was hooked then and there. I loved the world of this game, the characters, the art style, the gun play, just about anything you could really think of. I played that beta all day, if i wasn’t at school, i was trying my best to learn how to use high noon (and failing at it).
I could not get enough overwatch, i would say ages 15-17 were for me were essentially dedicated to overwatch. Making friends in overwatch, watching official overwatch media, speculating about overwatch, and most importantly, playing overwatch. For those first two years, it really was just me, a ps4, and 20 something heroes that held my attention better than most other games did. I made some good friends at that time, but by the end I held onto none, with the exception of a single one of them (who is now my best friend, go figure).
Around the age of 17, the faults of the gameplay of overwatch seeped in like a vile, red wave and broke the rose colored glasses right off my face. Losing started to annoy me immensely, and victories felt hollow. steam rolls happened every match regardless if i won or not. Trolls got to me more than ever, and I hated blizzard’s approach to balance at the time. This all ended up culminating in me not seriously touching overwatch for years of my life. I let it go for a very long time, and I can honestly say I was happier for that choice. I needed to do that, and should have done it sooner.
But that didn’t last forever. Eventually, Overwatch sinked its talons (ha ha, get it? talon?) right back into me and drug me right back to that hellscape i walked out of ,who knows how long ago now. You wanna know what I found out? I liked it a lot more then. Games felt more balanced. Heroes didn’t piss me off anymore. It actually felt good to play it occasionally, in small doses. Usually only during events, but that isn’t really the point. For 2 or so years, I continued on like this with one of my favorite franchises. Dropping by to say hello, and walking out before either of us grew tired of the other’s presence. It worked for me. I brought friends sometimes, had a fun time working towards certain skins, it could be a very fun time at points. But, as of a few months ago, things changed drastically, and this is the main point of this entire review.
Sometime in the last summer of the year I typed this review, the state of california found years worth of evidence pointing against the activision blizzard corporation. Blatant abuse of women and poc in the workplace, truly disgusting things i will not say here. I am sure if you’re on a site like this, and are somehow reading this part, you already know all about it anyway. Before I go any further onto my thoughts on this, the one thing I need to make abundantly clear is that a video game is not my main concern with this situation. I care much more about the human lives being abused than a stupid bundle of pixels. In no way does overwatch overshadow the innocent women harmed by the degenerates at activision blizzard. The reason I will be focusing on Overwatch is because this place is specifically for that.
It took a while to sink in, and even longer to understand why this news hit so hard in regard of being an overwatch fan. The most obvious thing is I simply had to leave it behind for the last time. A final goodbye that was simply not on my own terms. An unsatisfying slap in the face and a boot out the door. Or, you might think that it was because I could no longer be a fan in any context, and that stung as well. But no, neither of those things is what brought me here today. The reason why I hate overwatch with every fiber of my soul is that it gave me hope.
There was a time I genuinely believed in overwatch, Wholeheartedly. That quote at the top of this review? That meant something to me. With almost every short film, I could feel a lump in my throat. I genuinely believed in what the world of overwatch stood for. One person could make all the difference, one person could be a hero, one person could make the world a better place. It meant so much to me. For five years, it meant a lot to me. Even when I hated the game of overwatch the most, there was a piece of my heart that couldn’t help but love that world. But that piece is dead and gone now, and bitterness quickly filled its place. Don’t get me wrong, overwatch didn’t, like, destroy my mental health or something dramatic like that. I’m still a positive guy, I'd like to think, but there was a certain positivity that the world gave to me, and it is simply gone and can not come back. The people telling me to make a difference, and to be a hero, were sexually assaulting their co-workers the same day they fully thought these themes out. It makes you feel disgusted. To put faith into something, and have to realize how stupid you were to put any faith into it.
This is why I hate overwatch. Not some hero I don't like, not a map, but that hopeful part of me. The hope a 15 year old felt, being snuffed out in a slightly more bitter 21 year old’s heart. A hope that can never be given back. I miss the days where my biggest issues with overwatch were petty squabbles that meant next to nothing for anyone but me. Those days are simply gone. I can never go back to overwatch, and what it meant to me has been pissed on and defiled to the point it just pisses me off to think about. A promise from monsters, hiding in the cloth of good folk. There is nothing in Overwatch for me anymore, which disappoints me greatly to say. I was very excited for overwatch 2 before all this. I still loved that world, but it’s all ash now. Ash and regret. And I'm left here asking myself why I ever bothered. Overwatch can not and will not redeem itself. It is gone, and it will stay forever gone. Fuck blizzard for giving me hope for a time. “The world could always use more heroes” says the sex offender. Heroes my ass. What a waste of my teen years. I have sworn off blizzard activision products. And that’s where my overwatch story ends. I will not watch new cinematics, i will not buy overwatch 2, and i will never smile when i think about all that time i wasted. This would be a 0 if i could put it that low.
