Blog posts and gifs and stuff

It’s about that time. It’s my every six months or so run through my favourite bosses in Sekiro. One night after fighting the Corrupted Monk Shade and the True Corrupted Monk I decided to have a crack at Owl Father. It had been a while, and it showed. The attempted was coated in rust. So much so I died – resurrections and all. Been a while since that’s happened. This got me feeling a certain way.…

This more than likely won’t be a good post. It is going to be a collection of thoughts that I want, maybe need to put out there. Like, exorcising my thoughts. It’s going to be a jumble of stuff. Just a heads up. I’ve been playing fighting games for around 3 years now. I think it’s 3 years. The game I have spent the most time playing is Guilty Gear Strive. I don’t really know what I have to show…

A cat steps up to home plate, bat in hand. A pitching robot readies the first pitch. There are no fielders. The cat will face ten balls. And when it’s over, these two will do it all over again. They will remain here until the end of time. This is Cat Baseball. Cat Baseball isn’t the proper name of the game (there is an edit below explaining all of this). That’s the name I used to search for it.…

As of right now, I am old. As of the future, I am only getting older. As I get older, I still make time (sometimes more, sometimes less) for playing video games. Because video games have been around since before I was a child, while I was a child and are still here now. And barring some catastrophe or another, video games will be around after I am gone. In the time I’ve been playing them, video…

I can see my mind. I can see it, when I look up – it’s akin to a horde of butterflies disengaging from a tree. A part flutters off here, a part flutters off there and other parts flutters off here, there and everywhere. I don’t know where it’s going, I don’t know if it’s coming back. If it does come back, then I don’t know the when. And I don’t know how long it will take to fully scatter –…

Across and over valleys of pines, the clearest ringing Tumbles and tumbles Into the loudest clanging down and through dragon dozing rivers And back again. The journey of a temple bell 松の谷に渡すとうえ綺麗すぎて鳴る 転がって転がって 大きいゴンゴンに下とからに龍を寝る川 一度帰る。梵鐘の旅行 まつ　の　たに　に　わたす　と　うえ　きれいすぎて　なる ころがって　ころがって おおきいごんごん　に　した　と　から　に　りゅう　を　ねる　かわ いちど　かえる。つりがね　の　りょこう Matsu no tani ni watasu to ue kireisugite…

Boltgun was an immense amount of fun to play. One of these days I should get around to playing the DLC. It’s been a while since I’ve hung out with Malum Caedo (the player character in the game). While working my way through the game there were many moments that stuck out. Some of those moments were, shall we say, concrete in natures. Things like the level design, pivotal moments and set…

I’ve mentioned it a few times on this blog before that one of the reasons I dig Baiken is her numerous associations with Buddhism. While Baiken probably isn’t the best Buddhist – she does spend a lot of her time stabbing people with a sword and she has been known to drink a fair amount from time to time but lots of parts of her character are Buddhist or have Buddhist allusions. While not being a…

It’s about that time again. I’ve been watching a whole bunch of Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 courtesy of the folks at TNS and I’ve been incredibly excited about UMVC3 all over again and that has spilled in writing about UMVC3 all over again. The first post was about a whole bunch of stuff regarding the game, so get ready a whole nuther bunch of stuff about the game. The game is infectious. I’ve…
