Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 315: 1/13/24: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Edition

Yeesh, I just zoned on a whole week. :? Lots of real world crap going on, plus it's cold as balls now, so wee. Games added: I grabbed LEGO 2K Racing this week in a Xbox digital sale, don't think I've picked up anything else in the last couple of weeks. Last...whatever: Finished Broken Age, played St...

Re: It's 2024 already?!? What the heck man!

Fun fact (that my wife reminds me of every Christmas) - the actress who played Aunt Bethany in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - the old lady who wraps up her cat as a gift and is asked to say "THE BLESS-ING!" - was the original voice of Betty Boop.

Re: J's 2023 Gaming Year In Review

Very nice list! Tchia recently popped up on my radar due to some channels I follow talking it up in their year-end wrap ups. It's getting a physical release very soon (next week?) so I'll definitely pick it up sooner or later & give it a go.

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol 313: 12/30/23: Fantavision Edition

Broken Age is good. Not great, but good - I finished the boy's story (or as much of it as you can before it forces you over to the girl) and I'm a good ways into hers now. Doesn't feel like a very long game at all, and it's very breezy. There's been some new talk of Fran Bow lately, and as it's pro...

Re: crim's extremely late, mostly no frills Top...like 20 or so games of 2022

Great list, very fun read as always. You went fighting game heavy last year! Not that there's anything wrong with that! :P Quick note: The skateboarding one has a mission called 'Hello Fellow Kids' meaning I think the translation team knew the assignment. This **HAS** to be a 30 Rock reference: teno...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 311: 12/16/23: The Rumble Fish+ Edition

I'll be posting my 2022 list before the end of the year. I'm serious this time. I've had it in my draft messages since April. I rewrote the Lost Judgment entry several times now to make it not only readable but to properly express my issues with it in a concise manner. I'm shooting at posting it be...
