Review/Ranking: Secret Level, Eps. 9-15
I guess they front-loaded all the good stuff, huh? This series was like a five-course meal that goes from fresh oysters to a turd wrapped in old newspaper. Gross. B Tier The Outer Worlds: The Company We Keep This episode was pretty good. I enjoyed The Outer Worlds when I played it (even if I…

The Joys of Playing Helldivers II While Drunk
I’ve always wondered what my life expectancy would have been as one of the extras in Starship Troopers. Would I have made it to one of the co-ed shower scenes, or been rent in twain by a bug creature that was probably just trying to defend its home? The answer is a profound “no” to…

A Quick Introduction I’ve played the first Last of Us twice – once when it came out, and then again when it was remastered (for the first time). I never played the second title in the series, because it looked like a relentless fucking downer. When I heard that The Last of Us was getting…

Bests & Worsts of 2022: Gaming
Well, it’s a new year, which means that everyone is cranking out listicles about what they did and didn’t like over the past twelve months. I’ve tried to put a little spin on things by focusing on game features that I liked (and disliked), as opposed to full titles themselves (although one or two of…
