Wild Arms 3, Finale - Radio Berlin

This is a cool game and a worthy PS2 RPG for the time, but it'd be so much better without all of the padding and tedious segments that it throws your way. Repeating bosses, lots and lots and LOTS of dungeons that are all kinda indistinguishable from one another... for a little while playing this I was considering going onward to Wild Arms 4 afterwards, but I think I'll call it a day with this series after this game. Loved the first two games.

Wild Arms 3, Part 12 - Spirit House

Today on Wild Arms 3: I tackle the horror of game design that is The Abyss, and draw ever-closer to the final boss. We're almost there.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past #5 - Skull Woods, Gargoyle's Domain

 
How are you celebrating the end of the world? I'm celebrating with a spirited game of A LINK TO THE PAST. Today I'm taking out two dungeons, collecting more items, and getting the red sword. A LINK TO THE PAST: The latest from SouljaGame Console!

Wild Arms 3, Part 11 - Sierra Hotel

Becky Lynch is all about the cha-ching.

Wild Arms 3, Part 10 - Disaster Girl

 What do you mean by that, "Galahad"?

Highlander: The Series 3x01 - The Samurai

Highlander returns~! with the first episode I've covered in like ten years. In this, our hero travels to the Land of the Rising Sun. Given that it's been years since I watched the show, I was a little worried that it might not age that well. The good news is, there's nothing to worry about in that department because it's as watchable as ever. And this is probably the best season. Let's do this.

Wild Arms 3, Part 9 - Thunder Gun

Time for more of Wiki-Wiki-Wild Arms 3, as I roll into the tower-base of the villains. Is this the end? Not quite. We got a ways to go yet in the RPG that never ends.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu, Part 4 - Anything For My Boo

A brand-new Pokémon adventure, from the makers of Thrill Kill for the PlayStation!

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past #4 - Dark Palace, Swamp Palace

While Mordor in Lord of the Rings prominently features both an evil mountain and an evil tower, Zelda combines the two. And somewhere, a lawyer for the Tolkien Estate just popped a chub.

Wild Arms 3, Part 8 - Relentless Insomnia

This is hands-down the nicest, most relaxed screenshot of any game ever. It won't get any better than this, Clive.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu, Part 3 - Electric Rat City

We now return to the adventures of Cataluña: THE Latin cultural sensation of 2018.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu, Part 2 - Pikachu es Muy Suave!

 Pokémon is back. Look at how angry Brock looks back there. Ya know, with the way Giovanni never actually shows up at the eighth gym, they should have named HIM Brock.

Wild Arms 3, Part 7 - Children of Malik Attack

It's a new dawn as our heroes patrol the desert in their new mega-tank. I like how the "oceans" of this game's world are actually all just desert. It's emblematic of the very real problems faced by Filgaia in this era.

Wild Arms 3, Part 6 - Sexy Witch Costume

If you're staring at this picture with your head cocked to the side like a dog, let me explain: Malik has been cloning Zero Suit Samuses in the evil lab of the Advocacy. Not sure if this is to take over the world or just for...sex purposes.

Nintendo Power Review #14 - Volume 18

The Doctor is in, as I break out some retro action figures.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu (Nintendo Switch, 2018)

That's right, Pikachu. Not Eevee. You wanna go? YOU WANNA GO? COME AT ME BRO!

Wild Arms 3, Part 5 - The Gloaming

Sounds like the bad guys are bundling up their own Mana Fortress...of Doom.

Top 15 RPG Overworld Themes of the 90's

Today I'm looking at some of the greatest overworld themes from 90's RPGs. That might seem like an oddly-specific kind of list; the fact is, some of the greatest video game music out there can be found on the world maps of 16- and 32-bit RPGs. Any music that plays on a world map or overworld qualifies. I'm limiting it to one entry per game, which makes for some tough decisions when it comes to the several games on the list with multiple great overworld tunes. I can't promise there won't be a ton of Final Fantasy featured here. It's a subjective list; your mileage may vary. If I left a particularly great overworld theme out, comment below and let me know.

Wild Arms 3, Part 4 - Nuclear Winter Salesmen

Many, many, many months later, Wild Arms 3 continues. Last time, I finished the first of the four chapters. Today, chapter 2 begins as our heroes pensively look out from a cliff, the wind billowing under their luxurious skirts.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past #3 - Tower of Hera, Hyrule Castle

I'm STILL waiting. I mean come ON.
