It is easy to identify how if you played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and/or Red Rescue Team as a child, you are likely a messed-up adult now. Let us review what happened so we can protect future generations. The Pokémon franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. And it is marginally miraculous that the central conceit of Pokémon has been consistent since day one. Once…

We have wrapped up Skies of Arcadia on Even Worse Streams, and I asked super player BEAT to say a few words about his favorite RPG. So without further ado, here is “guest writer” BEAT to talk at you about Skies of Arcadia… Why do I like Skies of Arcadia so much? BECAUSE IT’S GOOD NEXT QUESTION Over the past… holy shit 4 months? I have tried and failed to put together something worth reading about…

Welcome back to Wankery Week! Today’s topic will be Not Safe for Work… uh… kinda. I mean, this one is a little tamer than some Wankery fare, but I still wouldn’t want my boss to be in the room.

I am happy to say that, even at my advanced age, I don’t know everything. Today’s game is Gradius: The Interstellar Assault. To break kayfabe for a moment, it should be acknowledged that Random ROB did not choose today’s adventure. You see, Gradius: The Interstellar Assault recently dropped on the Nintendo Switch Online Gameboy service. And, while Gradius Origins has been announced for a release…

More important than anything, you must have community. … Wait. That sounds like the opening to one of my preachy articles about real life crap. Let’s try that again… Communion is what makes the world go ‘round… No… Fight for the people, and you’ll always have people that will fight… Sounds too French… It takes a village?
