December Community Game-Along: Yoko Shimomura

December 4, 2015 by Anne

All of a sudden, here we are at the last Community Game-Along of 2015! For this occasion, I wanted to do something a little special… So, for the first time ever, this month’s theme is a video game composer! I’d like to highlight Yoko Shimomura, a Japanese composer who is most famous for her work … Read moreDecember Community Game-Along: Yoko Shimomura

October Community Game-Along: Kusoge

October 1, 2015 by Anne

Ah October, a time of pumpkin spice lattes and spooky decor! This used to be my favorite time of year when I lived in a country that actually celebrated these things, but now I have to satisfy myself with shrimp on the barbie or some other appropriately Aussie thing whenever the holiday season rolls around.

But I digress! October would be the perfect time to do another horror-themed Community Game-Along like I did last year, but I thought it would be fun to shake things up with a different kind of horror this time. That horror is… kusoge! Literally “shit game” in Japanese, kusoge can range from unplayable garbage to diamond-in-the-rough titles that have some unpolished aspects but shine in other areas.

Bonus: it’s a genre I’m not really familiar with at all, so it’s all new territory for me!

Tons of people used the hashtag on Twitter to talk about the games they were playing, and there were even … Read moreThe 2nd Annual JRPGJuly has Begun!

Happy February! Due to some release date announcements I’ve decided to shuffle around the Community Game-Along schedule slightly, making this the month to celebrate all games developed by From Software. I dub thee… Frombruary! From Software is best well known for their recent success with the Souls series, comprising of Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark … Read moreFebruary 2015 is From Software Month!

Here it is, the first weekend of my new “bits and bobs” series, Catch-up Corner! Since I often find there are a lot of things I want to talk about but don’t have enough to say to quite fill up a regular post, these weekly posts will be a place for me to touch on … Read moreCatch-up Corner: Aoba Seragaki figure re-release, #PuzzleMonth, and some site maintenance
