Removing The Simpsons
Post Length Warning! I’ve become a little hooked on OpenAI’s ChatGTP. It’s a text-based response AI, which converses with you but can also be asked to create things. Like magic, it’s able to conjure up stuff you ask for. So I’ve asked it a lot: “Write an episode of Cheers where Norm is a zombie”, “Explain particle physics to a four year old”, “Tell a story like Three Billy Goats Gruff only the goats are successful women and the troll …
2017 Game of the Year, Part 1
Once more, it is time to declare which game was the best game of all games in 2017. Once more, I will always be right. And, once more, the rule is that the game was played by me for the first time in 2017, rather than came out in 2017. With that said, here are the games that didn’t quite make it, in no particular order: Lego City Undercover (Switch) Already I’ve broken the only rule I’ve given myself, as …

2016 Game of the Year, The 2016 Game of the Year
And finally, the winner. I’ve presented to you the very best games of 2016[ref]Or at least, those I played in 2016, remember[/ref] in two previous posts, and now it’s time to tell you which game was best of all the animals. Not in my opinion, but in fact[ref]Facts mean nothing now, as we all know[/ref]. But before that, I just want to say a few words about some other games which didn’t make the Best, nor the Best of the …
White Walls – A Short Story
He came to and blinked, slowly. The sun blazed in through the window and his head was pounding. He tried hard to focus, but his eyes refused to cooperate, a combination of the bright light searing his retinas and a peculiar bobbing sensation. Why was everything slowly moving by itself, he thought with much confusion. He tried to get up, but his limbs flailed uselessly. His legs felt moist, the floor had a strange softness and he simply couldn’t coordinate …
Mega Man X (Wii U): COMPLETED!
After I’d completed Earthbound, which was some time ago now, I realise, I asked about for suggestions for other great SNES games I may have missed. Mega Man X was recommended several times. I was never a big fan of the series. In fact, I’d only properly played Mega Man 2 and one other (I don’t recall which) NES game, until the new-old Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 came out for the Wii a few years back. I …
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Another boss killed! This time, it was the Puppet Master, who was a bit more difficult than when I fought him as Soma since the voodoo dolls he has took more hits to destroy, for some reason. Anyway, he’s dead now. Went back up the Tower of despair to get the Tower Key, and my next task is to enter the Cursed Clock Tower.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Cloud-of-Bats Boss KILLINAT0RED! After only a couple of attempts too. Excellent. Then I worked my way up the Tower of Despair, where Gergoth waited at the top. I suspected it was going to be pretty difficult to kill, because although I didn’t have much of a problem when I played through as Soma, I knew it only because of his “special talents”, which the three characters I have now all lack. Anyway, twenty or so attempts later, and finally killed …
