  • Wind-up Knight 2

    —

    ,

    I’m not usually into action games that use on-screen buttons, but I still had fun playing the first Wind-up Knight, and the sequel that just came out pretty much feels the same, although it looks even better – it’s a really nice-looking game, quite slick. It’s a free-to-download game, but it acts as shareware, as…

  • Silicon Valley

    —

    ,

    Watched the first episode of Mike Judge’s new series – this parody of the tech world – and it’s pretty spot on. Not only is it it funny – not in the ha-ha sense, but more in how it really highlights the ridiculousness of that world – it’s incredibly realistic as well, including what they…

  • Inside Amy Schumer

    —

    ,

    The first season of Inside Amy Schumer was one of the funniest things on TV, and so far – 2 episodes in – the second season is just as good if not even funnier. So glad that this show exists, it’s just so damn funny.

  • PressPause Update

    —

    PressPause is go. If you’re curious to find out how last week’s first session went, I wrote a short rundown over at the PressPause site. As you’ll see, our first meeting was about getting to know each other, and coming up with the game ideas that we’ll be working on in teams over the course…

  • Mercenary Kings

    —

    ,

    I’m pretty sure I don’t like this game. I thought I’d really like it, since it looked like a cross between Metal Slug and Contra, with a more modern design sensibility (and it’s a free PS+ download on PS4), but so far I’m just not really having much fun playing it. The thing that is…

  • Monument Valley

    —

    ,

    As everyone has been saying since its release last week, this game is indeed a thing of wonder. The visual aesthetics alone make it a must-buy, but the sounds also add a lot to the good feels you get while playing it. The game so far isn’t particularly challenging – I’ve only played about half…

  • What Up With That?

    —

    Let’s get to some updates. Since all of my sites died this past weekend – see previous post – I’d like to post something here that offers up a few updates on everything. I do hope to have versions of some of these sites up again in the near future, but it’s going to take…

  • Harmony of Despair

    —

    ,

    I remember when this first came out a few years ago, and that I wasn’t too excited about it. I eventually picked it up during a sale, and even then, it took a while before I finally really played it with a friend over, and that’s when this game truly shines. Last night I played…
