It’s been a busy month! PAX East was amazing and exhausting all at the same time, and I’ve also started writing for GameHounds, which you should definitely be checking out if you aren’t already. Never fear, though; nothing can sway me from keeping up with my resolution, and even though I missed my last update, [...]

Confessions 2011: Killer Thriller (2/11-2/21)
Apparently, this was my week to discover what a great big baby I am when it comes to horror games. As of last time, I had finished Dead Space, but not yet started Dead Space 2; right now, I’ve played through Dead Space: Extraction and Dead Space: Ignition in their entirety, and have put about [...]
Confessions 2011: Domo Arigato (1/25-2/10)
I finished P3P. In three weeks. Yeah, I know. This is what unemployment can do to you, folks. Since I went into such excruciating detail about it last time, I won’t subject you to that again; all I’ll say is that some of the social links get pretty weird towards the end if you choose [...]
Confessions 2011: Feels Like the First Time (1/13-1/24)
I should preface this post with a warning: if you’re sick and tired of hearing about Persona (and I could understand how that might be the case, what with roughly the first six months of the podcast being filled with Elaine and me gushing semi-incoherently about social links and drug-dealing foxes), then you might want [...]
Confessions 2011: Here I Go Again, On My Own (1/1-1/12)
Yeah, that’s right. I made a Whitesnake reference. YOU LOVE IT.
I don’t do well writing straight-up reviews, not because I necessarily have trouble with the form or the content, but more because I just don’t play things in a timely fashion 99% of the time. Could I post a review of Metroid Prime? Sure, but [...]
Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Weeks 38-39: It’s All In The Timing
This may not seem like a new or surprising assertion to anyone else, but *I* think it’s interesting, and this is my column, damn it: I actually play a lot more games than my backlog numbers may seem to suggest. It’s just that so many of the ones I compile are RPGs falling somewhere within the [...]
Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Week 37: Chloroform and Liquid Nitrogen
I’ve gone through a rather complicated cycle with regards to Scribblenauts. When I first heard about it, I thought it sounded like a cool idea, but I didn’t think it was really going to be for me. Games with too many choices, ironically, often make me feel trapped. This is why I usually prefer JRPGs [...]
Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Week 36: Stupid Moon
Brace yourself, because it’s a landmark week. I completed not one, but TWO games! Of course, I acquired more than that in return, and it’s possible that I put off writing this column until I was done one of them so that I would have more progress to report, but… shhh. It’s the thought that [...]
