My thoughts on Nintendo’s 2019 E3 Direct

I haven't paid a lot of attention to 2019's E3 outside of the surprise Keanu Reeves appearance, but today was Nintendo's time to shine. That's all the introduction you need. Here's the 40-minute video. Let's talk about it. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Kicking off the Direct was a flashy cinematic of Ultimate's World of Light in …

This ain’t Monster Hunter, this is Pokémon Sword and Shield!

♪It's the most wonderful time of the year~♪ There are few things which I will openly admit I have a massive bias toward. Pokémon is something I unabashedly have a ginormous bias toward. Pokémon Crystal was my first video game outside of some silly educational titles featuring Sesame Street or Elmo. I'll always fall back on …

Just rainy day things

Just a quick Editor's Note: This was the post I had mostly written up on Thursday before everything got sidetracked by my Grandmother. Today I've spent just about all of my time working on homework. Considering rain has been the backdrop of a good portion of that time, I figured I would bring this back …

Aches and pains

Overall this Winter Break has been strange. I spent the first week or two sick in bed, and kept the sore throat for some time after. Figured that was going to be the end of my rainy season hardships. But then it actually started raining hard in SoCal and everything fell apart again. Just after …

New adventures (real and fake)

So I broke my New Year writing streak yesterday. Unless you want to substitute in that day I did two posts in one, in which case I'm right on track! But if you don't count that, I have a good excuse. ... It was raining a lot, and that made me lethargic. Plus I was …

Yearning for games prematurely abandoned

I was originally going to spend part of today writing the post that will probably ruin my reputation once and for all. A post about my recent relapse into playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online. But uhh... I got lazy and didn't put the effort in. So sorry about that! Maybe tomorrow. Now to …

My (obligatory) Top 10 Games of 2017 List

A merry Christmas to all of you out there that are taking a break from your families on this most Yule of evenings and have decided, for one reason or another, to spend some time reading this silly, clichéd offering of mine. That's right, as the title above suggests, I've decided to throw my hat …

My 2017 Spring Break obsession

While a lot of people took off on exotic vacations for this often beloved week off in the middle of the semester, or did not have a week off this week at all from what I've gathered from a few of my friends, I've had a bit more of a subdued break so far overall. …

My thoughts on the 2017 Nintendo Switch Presentation

Like many other geeks around the world last night, I spent an hour or so on Twitch watching Nintendo's Presentation on their upcoming new console, the Nintendo Switch.  Would've written up something about it last night, but unfortunately I wasn't feeling 100 percent, and lethargy typically isn't great when it comes to being productive.  I haven't …

Saying Sayonara to 2016

As the holiday season and the year 2016 come to a close (very conveniently at the same time in this case), I feel like I can't help but take a moment to reflect on some things.  As I mentioned in my last post about Carrie Fisher's passing, the general attitude seems to be that 2016 …
