Super Mario Maker 2 was already pretty fun when it launched back in June 2019, but Nintendo has been doing its best to make sure that the fun has kept going over these past few months. They added a big update in December which added plenty of new maker parts for players to mess around…

I Still Can’t Get Enough of Animal Crossing: New Horizons Online
It’s been, what, 18 years or so since the launch of the original Xbox Live service, right? The internet fundamentally transformed how gaming has worked in the years since. So much so that we can barely imagine what an Xbox, PC, or PlayStation console would be like without it. And then there’s Nintendo. It took…
Gears Tactics is Out This Month
Fans looking for an excuse to jump back into the Locust War will be getting their chance later this month. Gears Tactics is out soon, and it’s going to be throwing players right into the front lines in the time when the war was at its hottest. There’s a small catch though: this isn’t your…
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is My New Addiction
Hello and happy Easter everybody! It’s been awhile, but I’m finally back and ready to bring some fresh new content! It’s been a crazy month for me to be honest. I changed jobs, moved to basically the other side of the world and have been spending time getting established and set up in a completely…
No Man’s Sky Adds Giant Mechs!
It’s probably more than safe to say that Hello Games has completely turned No Man’s Sky around now. The game had the absolute worst of beginnings, but they stuck with it over the past several years and turned it into something quite good. It’s admirable dedication to be sure, especially when one considers that they’re…
[Revisted] Majora's Scariest Story
Well here we are. Four weeks, four revisited posts. I’m really hoping to be back to bringing you actual new content again next week. I’m pretty sure I will be. Until then, please enjoy one of my favorite posts from our 2016 Zelda-ween event. It might be old, but the story is still great! You…
NieR Replicant Announced for Modern Platforms
It seems the rumors that Square-Enix had big plans in store for NieR’s 10th anniversary were right on the money. Earlier this week, the publisher announced two new games for the series: NieR Reincarnation (a seemingly-new title for mobile devices) and NeiR Replicant, a remaster of the PS3 version of the game released in Europe…
[Revisited] Making it to the End
Another “Revisited” post this week I’m afraid. I’m hopeful things will have settled down enough for me to resume normal posts next week, but we’ll see. For now though, let’s talk some more about how some games require a measure of patience and what happens when it’s in too short of supply. I remember coming…
[Revisited] Trophies: My Final (Late) Gripe of 2018
The crotchety re-posts continue! Trophies and achievements have been a standard feature in games for a long time now. I realize that, and I realize that many people enjoy them. I still don’t think they’re a great innovation though, and I still feel that they could at least be done better. The year of 2018…
[Revisited] Rushing to an Early Ruin
The following is a re-post of a piece from last year. Now that BioWare has finally admitted that the game needs a major overhaul and is going back to the drawing board, I felt it was important to remember that it was their attitude and approach that made this mess in the first place. I’ve…
