    What are you playing?

    Remnant: From the Ashes. I LOVE this game. I forgot just how much when I put it down last year. It's honestly one of my favorite games to releases in the past few years period. The blend of Souls-like action, the thrill of randomized dungeons and bosses/events Roguelite style, and it has really...

    What beloved game just doesn't hold up these days for you?

    Prepare to be upset with me... I grew up in the 80's, started with my dad's Atari 2600 and got my own NES in 1989. Despite this, I don't hold a lot of nostalgia for games from those two generations. Coming back to the NES for the first time in a while with the NES Classic I realized...these...

    So, which next gen system will you be getting?

    PS5. Sony exclusives mean a lot to me. Whereas the Xbox has almost none I'm interested in (that I know of) except maybe Forza. But it wouldn't have mattered anyway, when Demon's Souls got announced it was a done deal for me. That solidified the deal quickly.

    Your top showings from the PS5 reveal event

    Yeah, they did a great job on the Shadow of the Colossus remaster. It seems in good hands. But that's why I'm not so sure if that final Archstone is going to be addressed now, and if it does, why I'm a bit skeptical of the quality that will ensue.

    I'm just happy this remake is happening, period. It shows Sony and or From Software are listening to the hardcore audience as well.

    What Interests You the Most About the Upcoming Next-Gen Consoles?

    I'm a sucker for new tech, so I'm excited about it regardless. But what most interests me? To be honest the new SSD tech they're using. It's brand new, bleeding edge tech that's new and not even being used by PCs (yet). When's the last time consoles lead the way for some form of tech over gaming...

    Your top showings from the PS5 reveal event

    If you know me the answer is probably an easy guess. Demon's Souls Remake. I've wanted this for so long. I almost cried when the Tower Knight first came on screen while watching this. The original is one of my favorite games ever and it absolutely deserves (and sorta needs) a remake. Resident...

    Most WTF Game

    It's flew extremely low under the radar, and to be honest, even if it hadn't, I don't think it would have taken off due to what it is. There's no combat, no action, just exploration, pain, loneliness and despair. I don't think I've ever played a game that had an atmosphere that thick with...

    Most WTF Game

    Was waiting for this one to get brought up. One of the only games I can think of off the top of my head that has an atmosphere so full of oppressive despair is "Theresia" for the DS. A very much overlooked horror/puzzle/adventure gem. That game is bleak, lonely, and depressing.

    Most WTF Game

    Hands down Illbleed for me. And also one of my favorite games. Take a janky Japanese developed horror game based on the idea of B-rated horror movies and crank it up to 11. Set it in a horror theme park that showcases the movie sets of a twisted b-rated horror director and you have one helluva...

    Favorite 'Art-house' Games

    I really enjoyed Gone Home. I know not everyone did, but I was absolutely enthralled with that game during its short run time.

    Mmm, forgot about Cainhurst, that's a very good one.

    What are you playing?

    This game where my anxiety skyrockets and I feel like I'm dying. And then I wake up and realize it's one of those days. A "PTSD Day". Nothing feels right, I'm in a terrible mood that nothing can seemingly turn around. I'm cranky, feel like shit, feel on the verge of mental collapse and just want...

    What's Your Favorite World?

    I strictly use the Looking For Raid tool these days, it's good enough for me. It's bite sized, queues up with randoms and has easier, more forgiving encounter mechanics since we're randoms doing it together. The loot isn't quite as good as the real thing, but it's the next best thing without all...

    What's Your Favorite World?

    Yeah, I don't raid for that exact reason. I just play to level, chill out and enjoy the lore.

    What's Your Favorite World?

    Probably Nagrand from World of Warcraft. It's certainly the first one that came to mind. It's this little serene pocket of tranquillity in an otherwise harsh alien world. There is still conflict within it, but even that is less obvious and less overly aggressive. It has floating island...

    Your Favorite Game Ending

    I often prefer an ending that doesn't end like a fairy tale. As such I appreciate endings like MGS3, Final Fantasy Tactics (What a fucking gut punch...), Silent Hill 2, etc. But for happy endings, Earthbound is one of the best. If there was ever a game that deserved a happy ending, it's that one.
