Every game has events that extend an effort to their eventual ending with the intent to invoke certain emotions in the end. The extent of the emotions at the end of an escapade is tied to the experience and effort that went into the end. Endings are essential for the experience to end, but notContinue reading “Everything Has An Explanation”

Thoughts on Pokémon Final Bosses
I am in one of those moods again. I thought about something relating to the Pokémon series that I thought I would share with you. Now I want to just go and talk about what I consider as the end game bosses in the Pokémon games and what that boss actually means to you. TheContinue reading “Thoughts on Pokémon Final Bosses”
What is a Story?
I want to ask a question. What is a story? I don’t mean what is the definition, but what is a story supposed to be? Many games use stories very differently and truthfully some are a lot better at it than others. There are some games that have spent a lot of time developing anContinue reading “What is a Story?”
Save States
Autosave is a standard setting you see in games since it stops the sad story of so many stalling their progress from loss of saves and system shutdowns that strive to occur in situations solely when something special is starting or in a situation where your stuck in a sequence set up for the sakeContinue reading “Save States”
Concerning Collectibles

I felt that today I would dive a little deeper to make some distinctions between the types of collectibles a game typically has and give a way to characterize them.

After all they say that actions speak louder than words. I think people say that anyway. One of the easiest way they do that is toContinue reading “Silent Protagonists”
Potential Pokémon Legends
So I managed to get around to playing it a bit. Yes, it is fun and I am enjoying it so far. I will not be talking about it today. Instead I want to do a bit of speculation here. I will always say that spinoff games have the best games in the Pokémon series.Continue reading “Potential Pokémon Legends”
Hard Reset Cliché
You know what I am talking about here. Actually, maybe you don’t know. I can’t assume that everyone reading this is a fan of the Metroid series can I? That would be irresponsible and unprofessional of me. Does that mean I am responsible and professional? Not really, but it’s the thought that counts right. AnywayContinue reading “Hard Reset Cliché”
Now Hear Me Out: Multiple Endings in Puzzle Games
Now you know I have to mention game story at least once a month. It is sort of an unwritten rule at this point. At least it was until a few seconds ago. Now I am not going to pretend that every puzzle game needs a good story. That would be a bit unreasonable ofContinue reading “Now Hear Me Out: Multiple Endings in Puzzle Games”
