| Experience Points .29: Skies of Arcadia Posted: 09 Jan 2016 08:00 AM PST Experience Points is a series in which I highlight some of the most memorable things about a particular game. These can include anything from a specific scene or moment, a character, a weapon or item, a level or location, a part of the soundtrack, a gameplay mechanic, a line of dialogue, or anything else about the game that is particularly noteworthy and/or awesome. This series will no doubt contain spoilers for the games being discussed, so keep that in mind if you plan on playing the game for the first time. This entry is all about Skies of Arcadia. Feel free to share some of your own favorite things about the game in the comments! |
| Games CJ would have played in 2015 if he weren't so goddamn lazy Posted: 09 Jan 2016 04:00 AM PST 2015 was a very weird year for me. Back in January I was just another blogger trying to be funny by making light of the industry we so love. When Jonathan Holmes first asked me to join the main page, I told him no saying that my fake news posts wouldn't always be good. When he asked again, I said yes and then proved myself right by writing this. Since becoming part of the staff I've nearly got Destructoid sued, definitely got us black-listed and started going by my real name (which apparently is a reason to like me less). It's all sort of been worth it though; and while I still struggle to write like I work for a professional website while also writing like I don't give a shit, the biggest challenge I've had to face since going pro has been actually playing the video games I buy. I was excited when I got to vote for this year's Game of the Year awards, only to realize I had to select from a list filled with more than a dozen games that were as foreign to me as the touch of sexy black man. I know as a writer for a video game website that I should try and play games from time to time that are not Splatoon and Rocket League, but... like come on guys, playing games is really hard. Isn't just buying games, putting them on my shelf and saying that I'll play them enough? Anyway, instead of boring you with a post on why I think Her Story was the best game of last year, here's a list of games I totally wanted to play, but couldn't make time for in my busy schedule of doing nothing. |
| The Banner Saga feels at home on PS4 Posted: 09 Jan 2016 01:00 AM PST Kyle plunged into the icy depths of The Banner Saga almost, aw jeez, exactly two years ago. Somehow I never took that same jump, even though vikings, strategy RPGs, and Oregon Trail all put together in a neat little box is My Kinda Thing. Now that it's on PlayStation 4, I've finally taken a stab at leading too many people too far across a land that's much too wide. |
