post 100

Well it only took me, what? 3 years, 2 months and give or take a couple of days to get to this, post 100 people. Remember where you were and so on. Granted only a fraction of that was comprised of actual regular honest-to-goodness blogging but still, its good to think I've stuck with it if not always consistently. Makes me wish I actually had something more to blog about tonight, like maybe an actual list of favourite games that I have been alluding to lately but alas its still under construction. All those badly written jokes don't write themselves, no that's all me.

Well it shouldn't take as long to get to post 200 and beyond given that I have dedicated myself to updating this creation of mine on a regular basis. Even if on some days I am exhausted, mentally wasted or otherwise devoid of subject matter, I will always endeavour to leave a little something around here to mark the moment. So yeah just self-referential blogging about blogging tonight but what about the future? Spoilers ahead but at a guess it'll include many posts on the length and breadth of all things Dave.

Spoilers but that'll mean endless musing on videogames, comic books, books books, Doctor Who, Lego, Lovecraft, the musical stylings of the 1980's and 90's, the respective decades in and of themselves as well as things, more things and much much more! No I can't tell whether that's a promise or a threat. Can't tell whether I'm being serious either. Maybe I'm deadly serious or maybe I'm just making it up as I go along. Yeah it's probably that. Anyway here's to more random noise in whatever shape or form it takes after being filtered through my brain and processed through a keyboard as it makes its way onto your screen. Adios!

Once upon a time in the dark ages, in the long ago, in the age before the iPhone and reliable high speed broadband there was the humble video game. You would play it, it would last for a finite length of time and then it would end. You'd move on and play another game, maybe read a book, watch a film, join a ukulele band. You'd cast that game into the realm of memories past, enriched by the experience in some way but no longer actively partaking of it. Now that time never ended as such, those games are still very much around but in the here and now they have been eclipsed somewhat by something else altogether.

anime hair and the end of days

I've just completed a game that, in normal circumstances at least, wouldn't generally be my cup of tea. A game remastered and released in 2021 but which originally arrived in 2010 in a somewhat 'adjusted' manner shall we say?. A game I meant to get around to back then but never did and now that I have finally gotten around to both playing and completing it, I'm not entirely sure if I liked it or not. That game is Nier Replicant or to give it it's full re-released title:  Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... because clearly the game alone wasn't baffling enough....

the refreshing taste of cosmic justice

As alluded to in my last post I have some thoughts about the game I have spent most of the last week playing, that game being Paradise Killer , those thoughts being well... these ones.  First up it seems like a minor miracle that I am playing a game like this in 2023 on my PS5 and not on my PS2 in the hallowed year of our lord 2001. it's a game that's quite simple and straightforward in some ways and in others it has a lot going on just beneath the surface. It feels about as removed from the generic high budget videogame as it gets these days without going into the realm of indie low-budget. There's some weird throwback energy going on here is what I am saying and over the next few hundred words I will attempt to put said thoughts in some kind of coherent order. To the commentary...
