Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 450: 8/17/26: Mexican Ninja Edition

Finished: Nothing

Now Playing: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Added to Backlog: Nothing

Current Backlog: 35 games

Just started Act 2 in Expedition 33, so I'm doing pretty well with levels from 26-30. It really helps to do well on the dodge and parry mechanics, but I feel like you've always got ...

Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 449: 8/10/26: Duskfade Edition


Oh and Pirate Yakuza is fine. Too easy both in naval combat and normal combat since they gave very early access to all of Majima's boss abilities. So everything is just a breeze. But I like the breezy nature, the game is ridiculous and dumb. The opening once you get the ship... YouTube it if you ...

I beat Headlanders last night. It's a fun game, no doubt. Good solid B+. Just not as many chuckles and wow moments as Double Fine's best stuff.
Yep, agreed. Heard Double Fine has to lay off some people in order to keep going, unfortunate situation.



Sad but true. Maybe he finally realized ...

Happy Birthday, argyle!

And yeah, I also had fun with Headlander - it's a Double Fine game for sure.

Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 446: 7/18/26: Splatoon Raiders Edition


Project Hail Mary : A bit of a slow start, but well worth it. Really enjoyed this one, it was a great feel-good original sci-fi flick. I say original, I know it was based on a book, but it wasn't based on a well-worn IP or a sequel to anything. Ryan Gosling does a great job of carrying the movie ...

Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 445: 7/13/26: Culdcept Begins Edition


I've rolled through most of the side stuff in Vice City en route to 100% and the platinum, but man, the stupid fire engine missions are breaking my spirit. I don't want to think about how many times I've gotten near the end and had things go bad. I've tried doing them all over the map and ...
