It’s Been Awhile

Hello anyone reading this, whether it be the day I post this or years later. First off, I’d just like to apologize for my complete absence from this blog. Much like Twilight Princess, I have started it and then just didn’t come back due to being so busy with…well, life. But I want to put that behind me, and start fresh, much like a new game file.

The Worst Game EVER!? [SS Opinions #8]

Now, over the years, I have played a good number of games. Games ranging from all different genres, such as platformers, FPSs, RPGs, puzzle games, racing games, fighting games, the list goes on. But through all the games I’ve traversed, I’d have to say the worst game I’ve ever played TO COMPLETION would have to be Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. Continue reading

I Choose Chao! [Retro Revival #2]

Okay, so I am a huge Sonic fan. I’ve been playing Sonic games ever since I was a little kid. I grew up on Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and played it so much now where I’ve almost 100%ed the game entirely. I love SA2B, and despite the criticism it receives for the treasure-hunting and shooting stages,it is still one of my favorite games of all time. But there’s one mode in it I wish they would bring back (and I’m still hoping they will), and that is the Chao Gardens. Continue reading

Twitch Plays: The Grapes Of Wrath [SS Connections #2]

So everyone who is anyone in the gaming community has probably heard about the most recent phenomenon to strike the Internet, and that is Twitch Plays Pokemon. If you haven’t heard of it by chance, it’s a livestream of Pokemon Red Version, but with a twist. It allows viewers to take control of Red by leaving a comment of what button they would like to push. 20 to 30 seconds later, it is put into the stream and Red responds to the command.  It has gained a HUGE following, totaling up to over 100,000 people simultaneously controlling Red as he travels across Kanto. But there is a bit of parallelism between Twitch Plays Pokemon and a certain classic novel by John Steinbeck, entitled The Grapes of Wrath. Continue reading

A Pix-elated Party! [Progress #5]

Hey everybody! The sickness is worn off and I’m back to recording! This was the last part I had done before I got sick, but I posted it yesterday because I finally finished editing it.  Expect both halves of Aqua Star this week, and the other worlds in the near future! Instead of doing an upload every Tuesday and Saturday, I’m now just going to upload 2 videos a week on any given day I have time. I’m shooting for Thursday and Saturday, but that’s not a concrete schedule. Anyways, what I’m trying to say is I’m back and BUTTER than ever! Let’s Play some Kirby 64, people!

It Would Be A Snap! [Retro Revival #1]

Did you ever play Pokemon Snap as a kid? If so, you probably remember how amazing the game was, despite its out-of-left-field concept. It was really enjoyable, and a great way to pass time.  But Nintendo has never made a sequel to it, despite fan clamoring for one for years now.  And all the technology to make the perfect sequel is right in front of Nintendo’s faces. Continue reading

I Just Can’t Stand That Guy! [SS Connections #1]

Okay, we all know there’s always that guy or girl that when you see them you just think “Jeez, I hate that person!” (Admit it, we all know a few people that make us feel that way.) And characters in games are no exception. Continue reading
