lunch with ragna


Finished Blazblue's story mode tonight. At least I think I did, sorta, maybe. Well the end credits started rolling, that's always a clue. But the bit before that. Well it seemed to be an ending to something anyway. I'm entirely unclear on what exactly concluded only that it came to an end.

Ragna The Bloodedge. Yes that's a name. That's our main character, he whose story neither starts nor ends in this game. Well he's the spiky haired anime style protagonist who endlessly quips whilst buxom anime style female characters either hit him or swoon over him every five seconds in a dark post apocalyptic-maybe style world full of cat people and improbable motivations.

Anyway somehow we go from all that to a whole lot of weird plot developments later where some green haired government agent is promising to burn the world down and I still don't have the first clue why any of this is happening at all. Like there isn't enough caffeine soaring through my veins to make sense of this madness. Only the Blazblue online wikipedia can save me from my utter befuddlement now.

crossover mania

So there's this teaser site ticking away the day, hours and minutes to something almost very Fallout related. There is the collective hope that Fallout 4 is on the horizon. Will it? Can it? Be it? Having played this series since its first atmospheric outing into the future past I can say I am very happy at the prospect. Very few fictional worlds bring it together like this one does, a retro future 1950's America warped, twisted and annihilated by nuclear hellfire but still very much there when you wipe away the ashes. It's bleak, funny and demented and if there's more coming I will be very much doing my happy dance.

recharging batteries

Interrupting this period of blog related inactivity to bring you the latest status update on the situation. Namely that there will be yet more exciting blog related inactivity! For a few more days at least anyway as I enjoy some much needed downtime. Until then consider the gentle words above and the delicate wisdom they impart to you the reader. Laters.

my top 100 games of all time part 1

It begins! You know what? I'm just going to do it. No more procrastination, no more delay, no more shifting the ranking around to accommodate the latest greatest game I've played. No it's time. Time to deliver on a mission I set for myself back in the first glorious age of this blog before everything went dark for a few years. It's happening folks, I am beginning the Top 100 ranking of my all-time favourite video games.  These will be games I've played so if any obvious contenders are not there it's because I never got around to playing them or I did and then forgot about them meaning they probably wouldn't have made the list anyway. It's all entirely my own personal opinion of the games that mean the most to me. It is the sum total of my best experiences in gaming over several decades of playing them. So where better to begin my Top 100 game ranking than by err... the honourable mentions?
