I suppose it’s a bit late for a New Year’s Resolution type of post. Besides, these aren’t Resolutions per se as much as things I’d like to accomplish in 2015. Over the past four-ish months, I fell off the wagon with my weight loss, and managed to gain most of said weight back. This is …

Games I Beat In 2014: The Breakdown
So, 2014 is in the books, and with it, my writing about Games I Beat In That Year draws to a close. This is a look back at that year and the series. Part of it will be a simple statistical analysis. Other parts will delve into more subjective aspects–entries I liked, entries I didn’t, …

The 2500 Twitch Follower Special Poll
So yesterday, I reached 2500 Twitch followers. This is a pretty big milestone for me, as it’s probably the first set of 500 followers I managed to get without cheap follows on a team page, or as a result of being featured in a Games Done Quick marathon. As such, that means it’s special time! …

Vote on the 11/8 Suffering Saturday!
Since I successfully conquered both Ironsword (Albeit with some password shenanigans) and Gradius (100% fairly!) today, that means two new games step in to fight for your Suffering Saturday love. First up is Spider Man and the X-Men in Arcade’s Revenge for the SNES. This was in the Awful Games block of AGDQ2014. I’m not …

Vote on the 11/1 Suffering Saturday!
Having successfully defeated The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (Yes, that first “the” is actually in the title), it’s time to resurrect the poll for this upcoming edition of Suffering Saturday. We have an all-NES edition this time, as joining poll mainstay Rad Racer are three new entrants: Gradius is one of the original “Shmups”, …

The 10/25 Suffering Saturday Game: Legend of the Mystical Ninja!
This past Saturday, after 4 and a half hours or so, I successfully defeated Vectorman. I’ll eventually write about it for Games I Beat In 2014, but for now it’ll suffice to say I enjoyed it more than I would, given how it started, and given I was apparently playing it wrong the whole time. …

Suffering Saturday took some time off this past weekend, but it’s back, with two from the previous poll and a couple new entries! Joining Cosmo Tank and Vectorman this week in the poll are Fatal Labyrinth and Legend of the Mystical Ninja! Click on either name for a quick gameplay primer if you’ve never heard …

Vote for the Second 10/4 Suffering Saturday Game!
I’m continuing to work my way through Ecco the Dolphin. No, after 12 hours of play, I still haven’t beaten it, but I have made it to the infamous Welcome to the Machine level. I even managed to complete it a few times, but I sadly died on the final boss, which meant I got …

Vote on the 9/20 Suffering Saturday!
With another week of suffering came another game defeated. I managed to get through all of Snake Rattle ‘N Roll, so that means it’s time for another game to take its place in the poll. Joining Cosmo Tank and Rad Racer as your voting options this week is our first Genesis game. That’s right, it’s …

Vote on the 9/13 Suffering Saturday!
First off, thanks to everyone who’s been voting so far. The voting totals are climbing, which makes me happy. We broke 60 votes for the first time with this past poll! This past week, I managed, with many continues, to defeat 3-D Worldrunner. I then beat it twice more instantly. So that means a new …
