Letter to Link

Well, since I've posted it everywhere else, it's time to post it here.

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time

Well folks, my apartment is filled with boxes and I’ve been going through all my old stuff preparing for my move, so it’s time to go nostalgic again!  Today I’ll be talking about a little known game called “Titanic: Adventure Out of Time”, one that I had a blast playing as a kid and still holds up pretty well today as a graphic adventure game.

A Letter to Bowser

As a sort of project to get myself in front of a camera more (hot damn they make me freeze up) and to cement my nerdiness straight to the core of the earth, I've created a sort of vlog series in which I write letters to video game characters.  Observe:

Special thanks to Dan Charrington for helping it happen.  Hopefully there will be more to come after this!

Top 6 Adventure Game Heroes

In case I haven't made it abundantly clear, I love villains.  They always seem to be the more interesting characters in movies, books, games, you name it.  But they wouldn't be much without a hero to challenge them.  The hero characters of the gaming world are a difficult bunch to write for.  Unlike movies, you'll be following game characters around from anywhere between seven and sixty hours.  If they're too dull, the game becomes dull.  If they're too emo, you'll turn the volume off just to escape their whining.

Every once in a while, a protagonist comes along that is not only interesting but sometimes even more delightful than the villain and it's important to give props to them.  These are my personal favourite heroes of adventure gaming.  And since we're talking about characters you play as, this will be the first Top 6 list without a Myst title!  Woah! (although I am my most favourite hero)  Warning: some spoilers will follow.

Video Times

Hey everyone! I was at a convention last weekend. It was amazing. Instead of typing stuff out, here is a vlog I did with my friend's Dan and Jen. Their links are in the youtube link!

Alternativa

I've written about a number of games by now on this blog, many of them being either nostalgic fun, a new shiny adventure, or a Top 10 list no one agrees with.  So it's with great pleasure that I'm able to talk about a pretty mediocre adventure game: Alternativa.  Warning: spoilers are present for this game you probably won't play.
