It is always a shame when one of our favorite gaming franchises either dies or is reduced to a shadow of its former self. Not long ago, Hatm0nster published a post on how he was finally done with the Paper Mario franchise (as am I), due to the sad fact that the series has lost…

I like to work on art and writing and was inspired by video games and movies and other such things. I love when I find creative stories and characters, and I try to make my own. So far, I've been unsuccessful, but I'm trying.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars Will Only Be Available for a Limited Time
Nintendo has recently announced a whole bunch of things that will be available for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. This includes making various Mario titles available on the Switch, a Mario Game & Watch, Mario-themed furniture coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in March of 2021, and even…Mario-inspired shoes? Okay. Ahem, you can…
It Only Took Me 26 Years to Get 101% in Donkey Kong Country
The title pretty much sums it up. I grew up with the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy on the SNES. I adore these games and have played them countless times over the years. And while I have managed to get 102% in the second game and 103% in the third game, motivated to do so…
Stuck in Gaming’s Past: A Response Post
When I was reading Cary’s post entitled “I Am the Future of Gaming?”, I couldn’t help but see myself. For me, too, the future of gaming couldn’t be further from the truth. Forever stuck in the past, I will often find myself buying a new console just before its predecessor is announced. More often than…
I Think I’m Finally Bored of New Horizons
After months and months of diligently playing the newest entry to the Animal Crossing series, of carefully crafting the perfect island, decorating the perfect house, and collecting the perfect set of villagers, I think I’m finally bored. That’s not to say the game isn’t fantastic. Because I absolutely love it. But until the next major…
Kirby’s Dream Land 3 Review
For the last ten years, Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and I have kept passing each other by, with no more than mere glances in the other’s direction before ultimately going our separate ways. Whether in the form of a physical SNES cartridge or a quick download vie the Wii U Virtual Console, I have had…
Could TV Ads Be Coming to Console Games?
I won’t lie. I can be a rather negative person. Nevertheless, I have had a certain bad premonition for years about the future of gaming that might be coming true. In a troubling turn of events, I have learned that TV ads could possibly begin showing up in our console video games! Yes, including those…
Singing with Animals in Fe
Despite my stubborn love of physical games over digital, I have started to amass a small collection of digital games on the Switch (“amass” meaning about five games, which accounts for about 50% of my entire Switch collection, so…it’s all relative, I suppose). This all started when I was perusing the Switch eShop out of…
Resonance: Castle from Yoshi’s Island
Yoshi’s Island is a charming game from the SNES era that I didn’t get the pleasure of playing until not too terribly long ago. The game’s crayon-like art style and general adorableness pairs well with upbeat music, the likes of which have been stuck in my head thanks to Super Smash Bros long before I…
Resonance: The Abyss
One of my all-time favorite video game series has always been Rayman. The games are seriously some of the most creative and unique out there, from the lush and intricately detailed locations, bizarre creatures, and amazing soundtrack. I have actually already discussed the series’ soundtrack twice before (you can find the links at the bottom…
