Have I Become ‘That’ Type of Gamer?
Throughout my life, I had always heard members of the previous generation talk about how much better things were during their heyday. Hearing them talk about the past would sometimes make me feel as if what I was experiencing in the present couldn’t even hold a candle to the world that they knew. As a result of how their words had made me feel, I’ve always tried to resist developing that same mindset as time began to pass in my life. But as I am now within the middle age bracket of life expectancy, I find myself fighting it harder than ever before. Continue Reading
My Favorite Visual Novel is Getting a Sequel
AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative was announced for a 2022 release last week.
Last Wednesday evening, I was minding my own business searching the internet for the latest gaming news. Suddenly, I was hit with the news of AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative being released on the Nintendo Switch. Because I had spent the day editing upcoming videos and my brain was fried, my first reaction was, “Oh that’s great that the Nintendo Switch is getting an enhanced version of AI: The Somnium Files.” But as I examined the article closer and saw that the protagonist was female, I realized that something was afoot. This was not the original AI: The Somnium Files that was being promoted. Spike Chunsoft is at it again. My favorite visual novel game is getting a sequel. Continue Reading
IN THE NEWS: PS PLUS Keeps the Hits Coming
The monthly giveaways for PlayStation Plus subscribers is the best in console gaming.
I had a chance to glance at the list of upcoming free games for subscribers of PlayStation Plus and Xbox’s Games With Gold. Once again, PS Plus blew away the competition with A Plague Tale: Innocence for PS5 owners, as well as Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Virtual Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, and WWE Battlegrounds for PS4 players. This lineup was in comparison to Games With Gold, which featured Planet Alpha, Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break, Conker: Live & Reloaded, and Midway Arcade Origins. Nintendo provides free access to original NES and Super Nintendo titles through its Nintendo Online service, but the company has not added any significant games for a while. PS Plus continues to be the standard when it comes to value in this type of subscription service. Continue Reading
What an Amazing Stretch of Free Games
I have never seen anything like what I’ve experienced the last year and a half in gaming. Specifically, I’m pointing the insane amount of free games that I’ve acquired by tapping into the available resources that are available for any gamer. There is a substantial amount of links to those resources on this site if you access the “FREE GAMES” section in the main menu above. But I’m still in shock that since late 2019, I have acquired probably around 300 games for the fabulous price of FREE. Continue Reading
Gaming is for the Young and Old
I had to share this video. This 93-year-old Japanese man named Ryuji Urabe is probably the oldest video gamer that I’ve heard of or seen. He is a former taxi driver, which probably explains why he has more interest in racing games than anything else. Kudos to his grandson for getting his grandfather set up for some post-retirement gaming. What’s even better is that Urabe even races online against other players. I think this story is really cool.
