Beat Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Very cute game, and I could not stop being surprised at the amount of interactions each creature had! The amount of depth and charm in this game led to a wonderfully unique experience.

Reached credits on Sonic Adventure 2! So uh, we all agree Sonic Heroes is better right? While I enjoyed some stages in the game, it was extremely painful to play at times :/ I can recall multiple times that the camera went out of bounds and just refused to move, or my movements doing a complete 180 when a camera change happens. I guarantee that this game would be far better on replay, but the first time through felt like a slog.

As some of you may have noticed from my past entry, I have developed a biiiiit of an interest in the survivorslike genre. Since then, I've tried both Risk of Rain 2 and Halls of Torment! Risk of Rain has completely failed to click for me, as I feel like the items are just too random! I never feel like I'm working towards anything, which can be quite disinteresting. In the exact opposite direction, Halls of Torment has hit my system like crack. This game is soooooooo fun, and half of this is probably just the wonderful visual design. In a style reminscent of the original Fallout and Diablo games, everything just looks so neat! Not to mention the gameplay is pretty good as well, especially the flamethrower character >:3

After hearing about it for quite a while, I gave Megabonk a try! It's astounding how addictive this game is! I absolutely love the fox-wizard character, both in playstyle and design :3 ps if you guys need any tips or want ultimate poooooower, spec into luck ;)

I just finished Mario Sunshine! I had technically finished it before on the 3D All Stars version, but I consider this GCN playthrough to be the true finished run. The game is a true delight to play, especially with the movement techniques possible with FLUDD. The spin jump is an all-timer movement tool that should be considered alongside the long-jump as a neccessary part of Mario's moveset. With this said, I do not find it surprising that the game was and is still controversial. It could be quite frustrating at times, especially with the nigh omnipresent jank, but I never felt like this overshadowed the fun. It's greatest strength has to be its setting, Isle Delfino. It is one of the most immersive game worlds I have ever spent time in, and feels like a real place (if you ignore the palm tree headed weirdos). I can't say its better than Mario 64, but I also don't neccesarily see the point in comparing the two, as they are quite different in both intention and execution.

Not playing through much of anything as the moment, as finals have been a slog! Hopefully the energy to playthrough something returns soon :*( I have been rewatching the original cut of Dragon Ball Z, and I missed out so much growing up on Kai! The filler is actually quite enjoyable, even if the story can be a bit... slow.

Well, finally back again for another entry! What a year it has already been! I've been doing quite well... very well indeed :3 My collection has grown strongly since the last update, so go check it out! Quite a bit of my time has been eaten up by the superb Pokemon Pokopia! It's like a cool mix of Animal Crossing and DQ Builders!

Haven't spent as much time playing through my backlog, as Arc Raiders has unfortunately claimed my attention for the time being. I feel rather disheartened with the game's usage of AI voicelines, and it really brings down what is otherwise a fun shooter :/ Has anyone else been keeping up with The Amazing Digital Circus? The latest episode was wild! I somehow didn't realize the twist until the ending, so I was caught off guard completely! I'm nearly half-way through my Ocarina of Time replay, which has actually been the first time I've played the N64 version! It has a good bit of charm not present within the 3ds version, which makes up for the other lacking facets of the experience.

The first entry! Finally finished up Leon's campaign in Resident Evil 2 :3
