I recently dove into Final Fantasy VI for the first time ever and can’t say I’m not feeling a little teary-eyed as its finish line closes in. I simply don’t want it to end. (And yet, of course I do, because Kefka has to be stopped!) Before FFVI, I don’t know what I’d have picked…

Happy Home Paradise is any Budding Interior Decorator’s Dream
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise is the DLC for New Horizons for the Switch. The premise is simple. You get a job on a tropical island separate from your own, where you design vacation homes for various animal clients you meet on the island. After picking a location amongst various settings, including mountains, sandy beaches,…
Tim Cain Remarks on How Digital-Only Hasn’t Saved Gamers Any Money
Gaming has been around a long time, as have many of us who enjoy games as a proper hobby. We’ve a great many changes and shifts in the gaming market over our many years, but one of the most significant is one that has been nearly all-encompassing yet hasn’t delivered on the industry’s most important…
Learning How to Play
I’ve been watching a channel on YouTube recently called SuperJoeBros. He focuses primarily on Donkey Kong games and has been doing a series where he plays through the SNES trilogy for the first time. It’s been fun to watch, but it was also a little frustrating at first. He’d make silly mistakes or have difficulty…
Spooktober: Animal Crossing’s Tarantula and Scorpion Islands
The last game you’d expect to be discussed during Spooktober is most assuredly the cute and relaxing life sim, Animal Crossing. After all, what could possibly be scary about decorating your house or meeting new animal friends? Well, ever since the franchise’s debut on the Nintendo GameCube, there has been one, no, make that two…
Pokemon Legends Z-A Is Looking Rough, and It Really Shouldn’t
I’ve long been of the opinion graphics don’t really matter, certainly not of much as they used to. You could have the most realistic or high fidelity game ever made and it’d still be garbage if the gameplay is no good (see: The Callisto Protocol). However, this isn’t to say that visuals don’t matter at…
The Ancient Art of the Cheat Code
Well, here we are at the end of September already. These events always go once again facing the end wishing there was too fast somehow, and now I am more time to talk. Ther’s how it goes, though. So instead of mourning the end of Sneaky Secrets in September, let’s instead celebrate it by discussing…
Star Wars: Outlaws on Switch 2’s Reception Kinda Bugs Me
Another day, another overly expensive port of a decidedly not new game. It’s business as usual for Nintendo’s new console for sure, but this time the game is Star Wars: Outlaws, a release that panned by a great many for being decidedly lackluster at best and utterly broken at worst just a few months ago….
Stop ‘n’ Swop’s Inter-game Secrets
Secrets in games come in all manner of varieties, from funny little easter eggs to actual cheats that enable all sorts of craziness. Normally, secrets are meant to be found, albeit with a little sleuthing effort, but there are those that were never meant to be found at all. For a long time in Banjo-Kazooie,…
Revisited: Turning Over Mario Party 2’s Bank
Well, another August has just about passed, eh? We’ll be back to regular posts next week, but for now I’ve got one more post to look back at with you. This one originally ended with my friends and I abandoning the goal, but I actually have an update for you on that. While we did…
