Hey you. Yeah, YOU! No more posts will be happening here at WordPress. Instead I’ll be blogging on my new personal site over at Squarespace: https://www.wraith2021.com In the mean time, I’ll be moving posts from here to there when I have time, so pardon the interruption. See you there!

Everyone Dies on Someone's Birthday
Everyone Dies on Someone’s Birthday
I don’t even know where to start.
So today was my adopted mother’s 58th birthday. I took her out to lunch, and while we were driving to the restaurant I checked my Facebook feed to see if the few people there that I care to follow had posted anything. My closest friend had posted that he was on his way to the hospital because his partner had collapsed at work. I was worried, of course, but…

Gaming Goals in 2018 – Update 3
Final tally…

Get 100% in Super Mario Odyssey (nope)
Finish routes C, D and E in Nier: Automata and maybe work toward the platinum (haven’t played it since)
Finish finding all the Korok Seeds and Shrines in Breath of the Wild and maybe give Master Mode a shot (well I at least did that…)

Destiny, part 39
It’s been a minute since I’ve written about Destiny, and I figured since the year was coming to a close I’d take the opportunity to reflect on my new favorite location in all of Destiny 2. This post has been a year in the making. I’ve logged in every weeksince the start of Forsaken and followed along with the story/plot that’s been drip fed to me through the interactions…

Turning 40 - Gamer Edition
Turning 40 – Gamer Edition
With it being the 35th anniversary of Super Mario, Nintendo has added Super Mario All-Stars to the Switch Online Super Nintendo library. I still think about the fun and joy I had as a kid playing through Super Mario Bros 2 and 3. But as is usually the case, with joy comes misery.
Super Mario Bros 2, while very different from the first and third games in the series, elicits two very different…

Detroit: Become Human
Not sure what I was going to say about this game at this point. This draft has been in the queue since the game came out, so I’m just going to publish this draft and revisit the game at a future date. Mostly I want to preserve the YouTube links that I embedded in this article because I feel they should be experienced.
It’s been a few years since Quantic Dream’s last…

Relationships, part 20
When I walked outside and saw you standing there in the light of the setting sun, it was the most beautiful thing I’d seen. I was happy to see you were still here.
When I saw you were talking to the stray kitty that’s been around here since winter, I knew you were a gentle giant. And when you opened the box of cat food that you had bought for your cats to give her some, I knew that you were…

The Last of Us 2
I can’t really put it into words how I feel about this game without going super in depth to the point of monotonous philosophy, so I’ll just copy and paste the notes I made (with edits) while I was playing the game.
I have more feeling for Owen than Abby
I don’t like that Abby gets so much stuff (upgrades, etc.) so fast as compared to Ellie. You’re really gonna tell me that no…

What I’m Listening To, part 16
The way these posts work is, I’m going to post the lyrics with my thoughts in between the lines like this.
Moana – Know Who You Are
(Ou mata e matagi)
I have crossed the horizon to find you
(Ou loto mamaina toa)
I know your name
(Manatu atu)
They have stolen the heart from inside you
(Taku pelepele)
But this does not define you
(Manatunatu)
This is not who you are
You know who you are
I know…

Tina Turner – I Don’t Wanna Fight
There’s a pale moon in the sky The kind you make your wishes on Oh, like the light in your eyes The one I built my dreams upon It’s not there any longer Something happened somewhere and we both know why But me, I’m getting stronger We must stop pretending I…

Turning 40 - Category is: Life
Turning 40 – Category is: Life
I would have to say that I became disconnected from other people after the election of Trump. That didn’t really bother me too much since I feel mostly disconnected from society as a whole anyway what with people constantly trying to villainize gays. I guess heteros need a scapegoat, don’t they? Or I guess society just needs something to hate; humans need something to hate. The part of it that

A wave. A moment. A thought. As a silent witness to the conversation between Zavala and Rasputin in the Io bunker, an old and familiar pulse shot through me. The pulse, the urge to take up arms and fight back against the enemy that comes to destroy us once again. I won’t sit idly by and just let them take what ever it is they want. I will fight.

Turning 40 – Gay Edition
Part 1
I suppose, being that I’m 40, it’s (inevitably) time for me to join the ranks to gay dads/daddies even though most of the time I just feel like an outsider or an impostor in the bunch. All these hot, chiseled men in full leather uniforms and here I am in my pajama bottoms and a t-shirt because I just can’t be bothered. If being all decked out in leather or just being a sharp dresser every…

Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Five years ago, we were treated to this surprise during E3 2015:
From that moment, the clock started and the nail biting agony began. The anxiety and the fear of what was to come swelled and eventually peaked when the release date of April 10th, 2020 was finally announced. Amid the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic that, at the…

Affirmations In The Dark
Tonight was my first night back to work after being on vacation for a week. Work was fairly uneventful and I managed to get done an hour early so I left. On my way out the door and into the early morning darkness, I see the weary faces of coworkers plodding in to work their shift. To work their tired bones making sure the collapse of society is a smooth and painful transition. I walk home (as…

The Road to Final Fantasy 7 Remake
It’s more or less all I can think about right now. After playing the demo that was released a few weeks ago, I’m very much looking forward to it and I’m pretty sure that it will be a contender for my Game of the Year alongside Cyberpunk 2077. It also doesn’t help that I keep listening to this track from the original soundtrack again and again:
I just hope that in the midst of this madness I’ll…

Game of the Year 2019
Game of the Year 2019
Didn’t play a whole lot of 2019 releases but here are a few that I did:
Control (PS4) [Game of the Year 2019]: I’m not sure what to say about this game that I didn’t say already. I loved the supernatural feel and atmosphere, the constant feel of unease and unknown that permeated everything. And how the journey takes you to places you never expected. I would love for nothing more than Remedy…
