A Quick Announcement

First off, a Happy Halloween to all you readers!

OK, so as you may or may not know, I'm currently working full time, so blog entries are sporadic at the moment. This November will not be very active at all, and you might see two or three entries, tops. I'm saving my energy for Uncharted Month, which is still on for December.

Level Analysis- Cemetery of Ash from Dark Souls 3

I've restarted and rage quit Dark Souls 3 more times this month than I have ANY OTHER GAME in my entire life. Because of that I've become very well acquainted with the entire tutorial level of the game, to the point that I have it etched into my mind. And the more I played it, the more I realized that this is a tutorial level done right. This is the reason why.

Tutorial Levels- Do's and Don'ts

I started playing Dark Souls 3 recently, and I'm proud to say that, having played the game for the last 5 days, I've only died 81 times, started over 6, and rage quit a mere 7 times. As I replayed the tutorial level, though, I started thinking about what makes a good tutorial level. And so, I compiled a short list of the Do's and Don'ts of Tutorial levels.

3 Games That Deserved a Series

Every now and then you come across a fantastic, truly original game that leaves you with HOURS of fun. You think "oh man, this is so cool! I hope they make a new one!" But the developers never do, leaving the title to be a simple, one off thing that eventually fades to obscurity. In my opinion, however, these games showcase such brilliant ideas, and exhibit such amazing mechanics, that turning them into a series not only becomes justified, but obligatory. These are three games that I feel fit the bill.

Remembering Kingdom Hearts 1

It's a bit hard to believe that Kingdom Hearts 1 is already over fourteen years old. Although I no longer follow the series (too many sequels on consoles I don't own) I am still fond of the original game. I want to share some memories regarding this classic with all of you.

A News Post

I'm currently working, full time, as a teacher. It's a dream come true for me, one I've worked for for over 7 years now. Because of that, I'm often exhausted after a hard day's work, and on the weekends I just don't have much energy left, if any. For this reason, blog entries will be very infrequent for at least September and October. My apologies.
