Overwatch With the Family

Video JettLeave a comment

Due to technical difficulties, the stream fell apart towards the end, forcing me to split this into two. However, it was a lot of fun playing Overwatch with Randy while discussing a number of topics, including the new Overwatch workshop, the new Ted Bundy movie starring Zac Efron, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, PlayStation Classic, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, LGBT+ support in schools, and more!

Exploring Combo Systems in Fighting Games

Jett1 Comment

Earlier this year, I was enjoying the indie fighting game Blade Strangers. Despite having put a number of hours into it, I hadn’t been playing it in the traditional sense ever since I wrapped up the review. The online community is virtually dead, making it extremely difficult to play with another human. I haven’t even been fighting against the computer much.

Instead, my primary focus was to explore the game’s combo system through training mode. One by one, I’ve been training with each character as a means of understanding the game’s combo mechanics. Will be the first to admit that this is an odd way to consume a fighting game, but let me explain. Continue reading →

Opening My Eyes to Roguelikes and Rogue-lites

Jett1 Comment

Despite being a life-long gamer, the Roguelike and Rogue-lite sub-genres of games have largely been left untouched until relatively recently. Didn’t even know what the genre was until I heard about it on a podcast well into my adult years. The sound of grinding through randomly-generated dungeons in an RPG where all your progress is lost when you die didn’t sound like my cup of tea.

In recent years, elements of the Roguelike experience have permeated to other genres while also toning down the punishment. For example, games of the Rogue-lite variety often give players some means of permanently improving their situation in order to make future runs a bit easier. As for me, I have little interest in playing a dungeon crawl in any genre, but I was willing to give Rogue-lite games like Into the Breach and 20XX a chance due to being rooted in games I love like Advance Wars and Mega Man.

Games That Expanded My Horizons

Jett13 Comments

With money and time as an finite resource, it’s very easy to stay in a comfort zone with the video games you play. But sometimes, you get rewarded for escaping your imaginary box. Despite my previous negative response to art games like Journey and The Unfinished Swan, trying out Gris on the strength of a recommendation from Kris and Rachel from Double Jump proved to be a worthwhile endeavour.

Here are a few more games that I’ve played that expanded my horizons in ways I wasn’t expecting.

Let’s Play Paper Mario – Part 11

Video JettLeave a comment

So…I just discovered what I think is the worst part of Paper Mario. This quest to get the magical seeds is clearly an attempt to pad out length of the game, but doesn’t really offer much in the way of entertainment value along the way. A rare blemish on a game that’s been fantastic otherwise! But thank you to everyone that dropped by to chat, help me out, and follow the channel!
