I'm writing about video games (and other things)

Truth.

 

I'm back at it, and also writing about other things now.

For instance, my thoughts on Rogue One: https://verumvenari.wordpress.com/2017/06/24/reviewing-rogue-one/
A link to a thing on YouTube and copyright that I wrote for the Wilson Quarterly: https://verumvenari.wordpress.com/2017/06/28/explaining-youtubes-content-id-system/

And I'm working on one where I talk about the problems with all the bad Souls criticism out there.

 

I found your review of rogue one unnecesarily scathing, your mischaracterization of Darth Vader bland and by your determination that the characters shoul die to preserve the grander narative you are just as culpable in their deaths and subsequent meaning to it.

all in all a good review.

 

I understand the joke that you are making here but that third clause is too nonsensical for the whole thing to really work. So 2/3 is pretty good, but you flubbed the landing.

Thanks. <3

 

they are dead because your expectations demand it.
you did this.

 

Been doing more writing, just put up a short bit on Shadow Warrior because you could get it for free a couple days ago. Also have some thoughts coming up on the best BioShock, which I just replayed.

 

Hoji was my bro.

But the river surge with my Lynx mom in Paws: A Shelter 2 game was way more sad
I am still unsure which ending I prefer in that game...

 

I think it's Hoji?

Anyway, yeah, I was really harsh with its story, but I liked the game more than I think that review would indicate.

 

wasn't done writing/editing.

Yeah Gameplay is enjoyable Story is decent, not too silly but not too serious. pretty classic "You're a ninja assasin, Demons invade." which I think really hits that sweet spot.

The joke is that the characters speak like they are 80's action movie/videogame heroes. don't overanalyse it.

"5000 Words About Why BioShock 2 is the Best of the Series"

Really long piece on BioShock 2, along with the other BioShock games. Bit of a ramble. If you just want the "what makes this a good game?" take, then jump to the Getting it Right section.

 

Is bioshock enjoyable for those that don't really like shooters?

 

I liked Bioshock 1 when it came out. CBA to play the other cashgrabs they released. If you're gonna play a somethingshock though, you gotta go System Shock 2 because these other games are baby gayms.

 

i'm going to say no.
