Nowadays, it’s rare that I actually play a game that could conceivably be called “current”. The last time I did so was probably Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. With the advent of the latest Humble Bundle (As of this writing, the Humble WB Bundle), I decided to grab some games I had been meaning to pick …

On Charity Video Game Marathons
On Twitter and the like, various members of the speedrunning community have given their thoughts on the seeming glut of marathons in the community. Because I am a shameless trendchaser, these are my own thoughts on it. I have joked on Twitter about my less-than-stringent methods for choosing whether or not I will participate in …

Well, This Rusted Quickly
I’ve very much neglected this blog of late, which is rather sad. Let’s start with some news. A couple months ago, I joined Rize Up Gaming, an organization dedicated to fighting racism/sexism/bullying within gaming communities, especially within MOBA communities. They also put on monthly charity marathons, which is mainly where I come in, as I’ve …

More Coldly Calculating Polls For Your Voting Pleasure
That’s right, once again you get to help me decide the fate of my streams. I’m thinking of adding a fourth day to my schedule. This would be a short, one-to-two-hour stream, brought on by my plan to eventually fill in a major hole in my gaming knowledge by playing through the Playstation 2 Grand …

Introducing Sylvia’s Excellent Time Usurping Pugilists (S.E.T.U.P.)!
As I’ve mentioned previously, I recently downloaded Gamemaker Studio and was playing around with it, intending to make a Sylvia-centered Kung Fu remake (A Kung Fu Remix, if you will). Well, today I can present the first proof-of-concept of this idea, for Windows users. As I get more into how Gamemaker Studio actually works, a …

A New Poll for the New Year
As I write this, I have 955 Twitch.tv followers. What this means is that it’s time to start thinking about what I want to do for a thousand-follower appreciation stream. I have a number of options, and you can vote for up to three. I figure the top three or four vote-getters will win the …

*Looks Around, Notes Neglect*
Yeah. So you’ve probably noticed that my posting here has slowed down of late. This is basically my fault, and while I’d love to say that it’s because I’ve been busy–which is, to a degree true–the main truth of the matter is that I’m just lazy. At some point during 2013, I plan to update …

This Is Your Monthly Update
So there! It’s been a busy month in the Emptyeye household. The big news is that Mrs. Emptyeye and myself are now cat owners. Meet Mario the Cat. Mario is an 8-month old, 8.5 pound domestic long-haired feline. He is also very cute. He can do something wrong, like scratch at the couch, and then …

Halloweeneye
Incredibly, I’m not dead. Happy Halloween everyone! I’m sitting here in my cape, figuring it’s one of the few days of the year it’s socially acceptable. Not that this stops me from wearing it when I stream. Mainly, I wanted to say that I’m still alive, and let you know some upcoming projects/etc. At the …

The Game From The Black Lagoon
I have something of a complicated relationship with the 1992 SNES game Lagoon, most of them having little to do with the game itself. For more on those feelings, you’d be well-advised to set aside a day and check out my playthrough of it. This, though, will focus only on my feelings of Lagoon as …
