The Board Game Night Playlist: Dueling Gamers

JettLeave a comment

This edition of the Board Game Night Playlist is designed around two-player competition. Drawing from my own life for inspiration, my brother and I used to play video games together all the time. Growing up, the games we’ve played together were competitive in nature, from Goldeneye, to Mario Kart to Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Now that we’re adults and don’t live together anymore, this happens less often, but we still make time for it where possible. Once or twice we’ve also put the controllers aside to play some analog games. Next time we get together for a one-on-one board game night, here’s the games we would play. If you’re looking to host or partake in a two-player board game battle, try these out!

Jett Plays Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- Demo

JettLeave a comment

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m horrible at Arc System Works fighting games, and my first attempt at the new Guilty Gear demo was no exception. If the scrubby play isn’t an immediate turn-off, stick around to hear my thoughts on the game and what I’ve been up to since the last time I made one of these videos!

Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Zangief (bubbah238) vs Decapre (jettFTW)

JettLeave a comment

My Decapre can do some damage now. However, I was still getting my feet wet with the character when I ran into the #1 ranked Zangief in the world on PSN. No surprise as to how this one ends.

Tokaido Review

JettLeave a comment

Over the course of my life, I’ve developed a fascination with the country of Japan. It started out with my love for video games and anime, but the more I’ve looked into it, the more I think that Japan is one of the most interesting places in the world. Though I don’t have the resources today to hop on a plane and experience it for myself, it is on my list of things to do before I die.

In the meantime, there’s Tokaido by Antoine Bauza and Passport Game Studio. In this board game, players are tasked with hiking through Japan. Along the way, you’ll get to experience the best that Japan has to offer, from stunning vistas, helpful companions, delicious food and more. By the end of your adventure, the player that had the best experience on their trip is declared the winner.

Off-Topic: The Long Road to Financial Recovery (Part 1 of 2)

Jett5 Comments

Personal finances have been a concern of mine for quite some time. I’ve fretted for years about the way in which money has freely flown out of my bank account, but didn’t really make the effort to stop that from happening. In hindsight, I also could have done much more in terms of saving money for the future.

Instead, I am where I am, and where I am could be a lot better. I still have steady work and I make more money than I ever have in my life. This I acknowledge and am grateful for. However, my expenses are also at an all-time high, and that’s before factoring in a wedding. Savings? I have one, though it’s a far cry from being useful in terms of paying for this wedding or making a down payment on the house. About a month ago, after a culmination of life circumstances put me in a real jam, I finally decided to take an active role in making things right.

An A for Decapre

JettLeave a comment

DecapreIt was only about two months ago when I first gave Cammy’s evil clone an honest try. Back then, I had no idea how far this would go. Now I’m the proud owner of an A-ranked Decapre that’s ranked 4th overall in the world.

Splendor Review

Jett3 Comments

Splendor is a game in which 2-4 players are Renaissance-era merchants. You’re all vying to be the most prestigious merchant, which you’ll attempt to achieve by buying gem mines, shops and other things that merchants buy in order to be the best at what they do. If this sounds like a super lame game based on its premise alone, I don’t blame you. However, by dismissing it at face value, you’d be missing out on a really cool strategy game.
