Gotta love a good Lego set!

Ben Starr is absolutely mindblowingly good as Verso in Expedition 33. Every scene he’s in he acts his bloody heart out and I empathised with the character so much as a result. Him and Andy Serkis are probably the standout performers in this game…

When I say Expedition 33 left an impact on me I mean it. Just been lying in bed for the last hour or so thinking about the themes and what the endings meant and just how the game as a whole comes together in an incredibly emotionally captivating story. Even now it’s making me cry.

Got to say, Clair Obscur is such a good game. Spent all day binge playing it without wanting to stop. the story, the gameplay, the visuals, the music, all of it is just so sublime! Highly recommend!

Started playing the first Lunar game today. Enjoying it so far, didn’t expect the large amount of anime cutscenes though.! 😁 More cutscenes in the first 2 hours than most ps1 games have in their entire runtime. I dig it! ☺️

Am I the only one who thinks the Blazblue logo would make for a kickass womb tattoo?

Booked some of the hotels for my Japan trip later this year and it's starting to hit me that I'm actually going to Japan soon! I'm so excited. Just booked a lovely looking Ryokan in Kyoto for a few days of my trip.

About halfway through Dark Cloud 1. Gonna be real guys this game blows major ass. Some good ideas but overshadowed by some absolute ass mechanics. Biggest red flag for a game in my eyes is weapon durability.

Gonna be real but the Free roam mode in Mario Kart World seems really bloody pointless. "Oh you can drive around the courses without restriction." okay, but why would I ever want to do that if there's nothing to fucking do in free roam mode.

I've been playing the new Assassins Creed lately. It's pretty good. Looks absolutely stunning on PS5 Pro. I don't know what it is about open worlds set in Japan but they're always so much fun to just run around and explore. Cant wait to dive in deeper after my work shift tomorrow!

Beat the Suikoden remasters. Highly recommend them. Both are absolutely incredible games and the remasters are a pretty decent way to play it! Really enjoyed my time with it!

Today hasn’t been a good one. One of my cats passed away this morning and I’ve been really emotional as a result. Doesn’t help that I’m not feeling 100% at the moment either.

Aw man, I'm gonna be hyperfixating on Death Stranding again. That new trailer for the sequel looks incredible!

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through Split Fiction and I can safely say that it's pretty damn great! Just some good, fun, co-op action with tons of variety!

Ugh today has been just as rough as yesterday. I genuinely hope the company I work for hires more people soon, I don't know how many more days like this I can take. Just like yesterday my nerves are absolutely shot. Way too busy... At least I've got 5 days off now to relax...

Mori Calliope releasing a new song featuring Lotus Juice and produced by Shoji Meguro makes me 90% certain at this point that she’s probs gonna end up being the female vocalist for the next mainline persona games soundtrack…

Oh nice, I got into the Sonic Racing beta! Exciting stuff!

Ha Ha, Ha Ha, 28.

Forgot to mention but last night I got the platinum trophy for Dynasty Warriors Origins. Really enjoyed it and the platinum itself wasn't too awful to complete. There were some annoying trophies but nothing that ruined my overall feelings for the game.

I hate this time of year not gonna lie. The one-two punch of Valentines Day + my birthday all within a week does a lot to my mental health when I end up spending it alone. I think the happiest I've been during this time period was 2020, when I saw Sonic and Parasite on Valentines Day

You ever think about the fact that in the UK both of these characters are voiced by Robbie Williams (though admittedly he's only the singing voice for Monkey Robbie)...

I watched the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man today. Holy fuck it was good. Each musical number was incredibly theatrical but at the same time really tense and thought provoking. Seeing a man self destruct and then try to pick the pieces up, compelling stuff.

Beat one of the 3 routes in Dynasty Warriors Origins. Really bloody good game. Got all the kinda vibes I love in a game! Gonna try to get through the other two routes before Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii releases!

Got this awesome Darth Revan figure today! Looks incredible!

genuinely didn't expect dynasty warriors origins to fuck so hard but damn, this game is actually fire in every meaningful way! Really vibing with it so far!

I've been really enjoying Dynasty Warriors Origins so far! Probably the best game I've played so far this year at least!

Didn't know until this playthrough. Rebirth has a whole ass missable concert in Kalm. What the hell man this is so crazy to me. 😭 A lost art where you just stumble onto stuff in games, man. This game is a dream

What is it with every Aspyr developed Star Wars game remaster and having the absolute laziest ugliest menu's and UI? Just makes the remasters all feel cheap and lazy. I think Episode 1 Racer and Jedi Power Battles have the worst of the ones I've played.

Weird obscure song that I’m currently inexplicably hyper fixated on: the theme song from the first Johnny English film which was composed by Hans Zimmer and performed by Robbie Williams. It’s a right earworm.

I beat Ender Magnolia. Overall it was pretty great. The story, atmosphere and general vibe were nowhere close to Ender Lilies but that game was absurdly perfect so I dont judge them too harshly on it. Magnolia had much better gameplay though. Soundtrack was great as always. Gotta love a bit of Mili!
