Read MoreA Post-Modern Review of YIIK for the Nintendo Switch
I was going to do a normal review of YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG. Then, a thought popped into my head: why? Why should a review of YIIK be normal? The game is not normal. Its a weird, weird, weird, very weird game. Its also a very raw game. So it deserves a weird, raw review. A Post-Modern review. Whatever that means. So, as Mario would say, here we goooooo! YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG has bugs. And I don’t mean in…
Read MoreGiving Credit to Bethesda for Fallout 76 Support
The launch of Fallout 76 was a disaster, no matter how you choose to look at it. Even those who have spent dozens, if not hundreds, of hours exploring the games vast open world even agree: the launch of this game was as bad as it has ever been for Bethesda.

Read MoreMario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey Review
In my preview for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser's Jr's Journey I mentioned that I had never played Bowser's Inside Story before.

As soon as I heard that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was to be released on the Nintendo Switch, I knew instantly that this would be one of those games. Travis Strikes Again: NMH, in all of its raunchiness and straight-up adults-only dialogue, on the family-oriented Nintendo Switch? It just didn’t make sense. It still doesn’t. But you know what, that might just be one of the best things about it. Confused? As you will come to learn, confusion is just ...

Read MoreNo, Playing as Toadette / Peachette is not ‘Cheating’
The Internet can be a cesspool of negativity and hateful rhetoric, and while it's inevitable with politics and religion, it's always disappointing when that creeps into the video game world as well. The latest string of stupidity on the Internet stems from the launch of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, a remake of the Wii U game of the same name, with the inclusion of New Super Luigi U and one other important game play mechanic: the ability to play as Toadette / Peachette.
