It’s Not a Bug, It’s a Feature

Glitches and bugs are as old as computers are and thus have been a constant companion to games too. No matter how simple or complicated a game may be, there’s almost no making it ironclad in terms of programming. I’m no code jockey, but it just looks to me that code segments often interact in…

Resonance: Monoco’s Theme

Though I hate to admit it now, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was nowhere on my radar until my Virtual Bastion comrade, Hatm0nster, wrote about last spring. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have played then when its hype was beginning to amass. But at the time, I was on my own train with a bevy of…

Do You Really Have to Oxygenate the Water in Jolly Roger’s Lagoon?

I’ve played Banjo-Tooie countless times over the years.  And so it’s hard to make one of my favorite games of all time feel fresh.  Partly, this is because I tend to do the same thing every single time.  For example, I always head left upon entering Terrydactyland and climb the vine behind the waterfall.  This…
