Critical Examination: Cad Bane
Critical Examination: Cad Bane
I tend to love villains more than heroes, mostly because (especially in the modern era) heroes have a bad habit of being very predictable. A villain who can always surprise you, with a personality that is dripping in charm. But it helps even more when they are a complicated character who brings new aspects of themselves to the table often enough to make things interesting. For all the terrible…

The Effect Final Fantasy X had on Me
The Effect Final Fantasy X had on Me
Did you know the Playstation 2 is now 21 years old? When I read that, my first thought was – I am so fucking old! It hurt my cold black heart, for a little bit. But I sat there and had a deep think about it, and something else occurred to me – how much I absolutely love Final Fantasy X. That was the first game in the franchise that I ever played. There are a lot of things that have had a profound…

Critical Examination: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and Cloud's Decaying Mind
I’ve been replaying Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and I gotta say – this game is amazing. It’s a mark of my favorite games that the second it is over, I kinda wanna play it again. I waited on this, not wanting to go in too soon from when I finished my first playthrough, and that was actually a smart decision. Because, you see, there are a lot of things that I missed in my first playthrough of…

Critical Examination: My Love of 2D Animation
Evolution is a funny force, sometimes. It happens all around us, all the time. It is a constant element of life on Earth. Everything evolves, without exception. Life evolved from single-celled organisms with no nucleus, to sentient life-forms who are poisoning their planet. The irony of that isn’t lost on me. But it isn’t just life. There’s culture, technology, and even forms of entertainment and…

Critical Examination: Horizon: Zero Dawn
Critical Examination: Horizon: Zero Dawn
I’ve been replaying one of my favorite games of the last generation. Horizon: Zero Dawn was an amazing game. The only real flaw with it was that there was only one piece of DLC. I would have loved to get to know all the various tribes of the game. You get to know the Banuk, and they are genuinely fascinating. However, what of the Osram? I would have LOVED to go to The Claim and get to know their…

Critical Examination: Cyberpunk 2077: Lucien Maverick Cut
I know, something I’ve talked about to death. Something I’m sure that everyone is like, “for fuck’s sake, move on and talk about something else!” Here’s the thing – my mind works like a long and dark and very foreboding series of filing cabinets. My endless chasm of knowledge gets shoved in there, and every now and again a file drops out. Sometimes, the little demon who runs this library of…

Critical Examination: Games With Good Characters
Critical Examination: Games With Good Characters
I’ve recently been playing Borderlands 2 for the first time on my PS4. I got the Handsome Collection, but in those there is only one that I really love. The one I’ve been playing. The Pre-Sequel isn’t bad, but it just doesn’t hit the same high notes that 2does. And holy fuck, this game is addicting! Sniffing through hordes of loot to see what stuff is worth my time, facing down a villain who…
