Mega Man 11 Playthrough

Part 1 - Impact Man, Bounce Man, Fuse Man

Dragon Quest XI - Magic Key Guide

When and where to use the Magic Key (red locked doors). This part of the game reminds me of Chrono Trigger's sealed chests/doors.

Dragon Quest II (iOS/Android, 2014)

It's bigger, it's badder!

Never Mind

Dragon Quest XI dance tutorial!

Nintendo Power Review #13 - Volume 42

For some reason there's an error in the video in this one, just like the previous video, where you see a still shot for a minute or so. I haven't figured out what the issue is, and re-editing the video just moves this image-pause to a different part of the video. Whatever. At the moment I'm just happy to be able to get these videos online at all.

Nintendo Power Review #12 - Volume 73

Season 2 of the NP reviews continues with Volume 73, as my slow saunter through covering the first 100 issues continues.

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)

It's "slam-bang horror action"!

Alien Vs. Predator (2004)

It's like if Prometheus and The Thing had a really dumb baby.

Alien Vs. Predator (Super NES, 1993)

Today I'm going to take a quick look at a game that actually features Xenomorphs rather than look-alikes or knockoffs. I also wonder why there aren't more Versus properties like this. There's Robocop Vs Terminator, but why not Terminator Vs. Aliens? Or Robocop Vs Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket? The possibilities are endless!

Nintendo Power Review #11 - Ninja Gaiden 2 Strategy Issue

Season 2 of the Nintendo Power review videos begins with a very unusual issue.

Dragon Quest (iOS/Android, 2014)

Ringing in the arrival of Dragon Quest XI with a GOLEM-SIZED post on the latest remake of the very first Dragon Quest. This Android remake completely redoes the game's dialogue while revamping the graphics to the level of the Super Famicom DQIII remake. In other words, this looks and talks a lot better than the old Super Famicom remake that I covered already. Let's get into it.

Secret of Evermore: Balance Patch Playthrough

This one's all on video, and could potentially be an interesting companion piece to the post series on the game. For this playthrough I used the Balance Patch, which has both positive and negative changes to the gameplay...

Wild Arms 3, Part 3 - The Highest Summoner

 Wild Arms 3 continues! ...why is Virginia showing us her butt?

Wild Arms 3, Part 2 - Marvel Team-Up

Wild Arms 3 returns as the party assembles. Let's do this.

Wild Arms 3 (Playstation 2, 2002)

Back in 1999/2000, I was really into the original Wild Arms. It was one of what seemed like a hundred rad RPGs that we got during the golden age of the late 90's PlayStation. It took me months to finish the game, and the release week for Wild Arms 2 happened to be right after I did. Completely coincidental, as I didn't even know a sequel was in development. That was pretty awesome, one of my many good gaming memories from the era. A couple rentals later and I finished Wild Arms 2, which I thought was even better than the original.

For some reason I never checked out further games in the series, but Wild Arms 3 was always on my radar. Lately I've been wanting to play an early-00's era RPG that I've never played before, and this one made the most sense. It now has a PlayStation 4 re-release with trophies and improved resolution that one can get for about the price of the original PS2 version, so it's a better time than ever to check out Wild Arms 3. I started playing this a couple years ago and it's time to finally play the rest.

Nintendo Power Review #10 - Volume 88 (Hot Sauce Challenge II)

In the season finale of the Nintendo Power review series, I take on another series of spicy wings while reading the Nintendo 64 debut issue. More episodes are in the works for later in the Summer.

Super Metroid Speed Run (June 2018)

It's been about a year since the last Super Metroid speedrun, so I figure it's time for another one. This is gonna be good.

A Journey Through Snow Music (Updated)

Here are my Top 20 Snow Tunes from various games over the years. This was tough to put in some kind of order, as all of these tunes are pretty rad. I mainly just wanted to run through the snowy themes that I've heard over the years and talk about them a bit.

Updated: A trio of new tracks added, now a Top 20 rather than a mere Top 17.

Nintendo Power Review #9 - Volume 10

In this video, I cover the landmark Volume 10 of Nintendo Power. It's a true blast from the past. Also, the Joker is eaten by an adorable cat! Tune in now!

Nintendo Power Review #8 - Volume 40

In this cat-themed episode, I read about Star Fox and Soul Blazer.
