Far too often a game simply won’t be released in America because…well, it’s predecessor failed. Now for me, this is never acceptable, but I do understand. If a game has a huge following in Japan AND it’s an RPG, but it doesn’t really take off in America, they’re more likely to continue the series in […]

The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 2
January 24th, 2012 
gunsage When playing Japanese SNES games on an emulator, often there are obvious and not so obvious reasons why a game may not have come out to America. The best way to think about it is was it an RPG, did it have suggestive themes, and did it have any sort of following here in America? […]

Comments Off on The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 2Stupid Shit Non-Gamers Say About Videogames
January 5th, 2012 gunsage Above: not really a gamer. Playing videogames isn’t quite the same as it used to be, but maybe that’s a good thing. People that don’t game at all that happen to stumble across our hobby seem to mistake videogames for an actual sport, kiddie toy, the devil, or many, many other things. These are things […]
GODDAMMIT…Seiken Densetsu 3
December 6th, 2011 gunsage One of the few Squaresoft games that has never even attempted to be remade is also easily one of the best. Now sure, I could’ve talked about the obvious Terranigma, Mother 3, Wonder Project J, Adventures of Hourai High, or even the Front Mission games that never reached American soil, but instead I’d love to […]
These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things – Episode 6
December 1st, 2011 gunsage I think this is normally where an intro goes. It’s unlikely that you’ll read it. That’s okay, because I have movies and stuff. Enjoy!

November 8th, 2011 gunsage It’s good to be back! Where have I gone? Well, ah, nowhere, BUT THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT! It’s time for another GoTY and we’re going to kick it back off with FPS of the Year 21st century! Now this time there won’t be movies this time unless you click on the pictures (where I can find […]
A Xeno Retrospective
October 16th, 2011 gunsage Xenogears was a fan-fucking-tastic game. In fact, if you’ll recall it won RPG of the Year for me that year. I cannot honestly speak more higher of it. If you like sci-fi, martial arts, giant robots, anime, RPGs, oldschool Squaresoft, or any combination thereof, there is seriously no reason to pass that bitch up. And […]
How To Not Suck At Team Fortress 2
September 13th, 2011 gunsage I’m going to assume you’re reading this for one of three possible reasons. One, you’re still new to Team Fortress 2 and you’re not really sure what you’re doing, frustrated, etc. Two, you’re not new, but you could use some pointers. Or three, you just read shit I post. Honestly, this FAQ of sorts is […]
RPG of the Year – 2008
July 1st, 2011 gunsage I have to apologize in advance. I don’t own a PS3 or iPod, so there are a few titles here I can’t play that I’m sure you guys are going to dislodge your jaws wondering about. I’m sure Valkyria Chronicles is awesome. There, I said it…but I don’t know personally, so I can’t put it […]
