I know i have spent some time talking about collectibles before on my blog. 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. In my opinion there are four types of collectibles that youContinue reading “Concerning Collectibles”

Rant on No Death Achievements
I’ll be honest. I despise these types of achievements. There are so many types of these kinds of achievements and for some reason they always love to put them in the most difficult games. I mean the game is already hard enough so why do we have to add on extra challenges like that? ThereContinue reading “Rant on No Death Achievements”
A Little Gaming Moment
Let me tell you a story. I am going to warn you about a couple of things before I begin though. First off, this will contain a couple of spoilers for the game Celeste. Nothing too major will be talked about except for a couple of collectibles but if you wanted to take the timeContinue reading “A Little Gaming Moment”
Time Trial Troubles
Time trials are a taxing type of trial that tends to test how timely you can travel through to the end of the stage. These time trials typically tend to be tailored as types of tests to the player’s ability to travel through the terrain under a targeted time. They are tricky since trying themContinue reading “Time Trial Troubles”
What it Means to Win
I was thinking recently about something that I thought was kind of cool. It was also the best idea I could come up with so I decided to write about it. Now videogames are pretty young if we really think about it. They are only around 40 years old. They have evolved in many differentContinue reading “What it Means to Win”

The trailer they showed recently looks so good. There seem to be lots of diverse movesets and different ways to battle. I just can’t believeContinue reading “Special Post”
Why I Play Roguelikes
“If you could choose any superpower to have, which one would you choose?” I have been asked this question multiple times over the course of my life. At first I wanted a cool superpower. I wanted something that was flashy and stood out. I wanted the classic flight, or superspeed or something that I couldContinue reading “Why I Play Roguelikes”
Rewriting Characters
You know something that has always bothered me to no end? It is sequels. More specifically, sequels that actively go out of there way to destroy their foundations. Personally, while it isn’t my hope that games do this, I am perfectly fine with the sequels not making any major changes to the original so longContinue reading “Rewriting Characters”
Inefficient Inventory and I
I am an ineffiecient individual. I can’t initiate a task unless I make it so its improbable that I don’t leave it incomplete. I don’t know if I invigorate myself by inviting impossible challenges, but I am the inverse of inefficent. Wait, I mean the inverse of the inverse. Well, now I am incompetent. Ideally,Continue reading “Inefficient Inventory and I”
Levels of Difficulty
I’ll be honest here. I didn’t really have a topic for today. I may have messed up my personal schedule and so I wasn’t sure what topic to go with this week. That’s not to say I had no ideas, I just wasn’t sure if I could develop them the way I wanted for theContinue reading “Levels of Difficulty”
