For anyone who plays videogames, the value of something like GameFAQs.com cannot and should not be understated. At this point, anyone reading this most likely knows me from my 6+ years of streaming on Twitch and recently, I started up a new series of streams called Take Me Back Tuesdays, where I attempt to actually play and beat some games from my absolutely ridiculously extensive backlog of…

Recently, I’ve been playing through the .hack series with my partner, Lucas and this experience immediately made me want to start writing about it, which is a great sign that I should write about it 😛 .hack is a relatively niche multimedia empire with 40+ entries on everything from manga to anime to novels, webnovels and of course, a series of action RPG videogames centered around an embedded…

Fast Travel

New Blast Professing, Fast Travel. Let's go there together.

There’s really something special about a gaming world you’d actually hangout irl if you had the chance. The sort of place we imagine in dreams perhaps birthed from stories or fables, movies or cartoons, wishes we made in our youth or imaginative manifestations of our futures, the kinds so many have fought for. Gaming is curious in the way it can feed us narrative and lore, audio and visual…

The Sword Of Legend

Tbh, the most enticing types of games for me are the ones that really flip the script of our expectations for what it is that games do to begin with. Why are games fun? How are games fun? By now, every gamer has played at least a few of the dozens upon dozens of games where you’re some guy in an open world who finds a sword, discovers treasure, defeats big monsters and saves a princess. So…

Invisible Walls

NEW post on my blog, Blast Professing about one of the most prevalent social issues we face irl. Many of us experience it and many of us also perpetuate it.

You can’t see them but you feel them there. They prohibit your progress, your expression and they didn’t just occur, someone put them there. Sometimes, someone might describe something as “rude” or “condescending” when someone is: -Standing up for themselves or setting a boundary -Instructing others how to do something absolutely crucial that’s being neglected (often after several attempts to…

Hurry Up!

NEW post on my blog - Blast Professing all about playing your games, the games that are out there and cancelling or modifying your subscription to relevance.

Like many media enthusiasts, gamers have subscription to relevance. We want our games and we want them now, at any cost. We’ll pre-order $400 limited run, steelcover, collector’s edition discs with manuals, pose-able figures, stickers and day-one content just to feel like we got there first or to feed the hunger for belonging to this medium we love so deeply. We’ll buy two controllers (because…

Assemble Your Team

NEW post on my blog - Blast Professing all about relationships, personal connections and the dynamic between myself and my 2 partners, aka @3bearsgayming

If I haven’t already mentioned it, I’ve been in a 3-person, Polyamorous relationship since 2016 comprised of myself, Pete and Lucas and we make up @3BearsGayming! To be specific, we’re in what’s called an Open-V relationship (as opposed to a Triad/Throuple), which means that I’m in a romantic + sexual relationship with Pete and also with Lucas but both of them aren’t dating..yet, unlike many…

All Systems Nominal

NEW post on Blast Professing all about mecha games for the Gundam, Armored Core, Steel Battalion, Front Mission, Heavy Gear fans, let's go back to the originator of the 2D console mecha games, the Assault Suit Series!

Japan gets the coolest games, period. That’s not an opinion or a fan perspective or clickbait, it’s the honest truth. Japan always gets not only more games released than other regions, it gets the coolest releases whether they are actual games or peripherals or attachments or versions or whatever, they just always seem to drop more of them there and usually are released sooner than other…

Winter Games

Brrr, let's talk about some snowy Winter themed videogames + levels + stages and the memories they made for my Florida-born self that never saw snow until my teens!

Where I’m at in Colorado, it snows quite frequently and in some places, all year round. In fact, I’ve been around more snow in the last year of being here than in about a decade. This makes me remember all the best snowy levels + stages from videogames I’ve played across time, with some being fully set in the Winter and others having some seriously memorable single areas set in the coldest…

Save Point

The sweet spot between gaming experiences just feeling plain or perhaps even neat versus absolutely essential often has a very slim margin. Every game hits us different for a wide variety of reasons as individual gamers but some games, fusing together a perfect blend of design and creative vision manage to strike a particular apex for me and many others that is often hard to precisely define,…

It hurt itself in its confusion!

When we make a joke and someone tells us: “I understand the joke and what you think you were saying but it still isn’t cool” We have so many choices on how to respond… We may think “it’s just a joke.” We may think it’s not a big deal. We may be speaking from the heart. We may be speaking from vicarious experience. We may have had an isolated exposure that one time. We may never have to go…

You Found A Secret!

Coming across a great game all of the sudden is one of the most satisfying feelings. Like a new friend, an old blanket, a window into how much fun you might have had if you had seen it earlier, yet here it is now, completely absorbing you and making you question your internal list of “good games.” Is it the game itself or what you’re going through in life? Is it magic in the development or did…
