    What have you learned today?

    I did a bit of self-discovery; I am currently in 3.5 weeks of vacation between Korea and Japan. Currently 2 weeks in. You'd think I would be having a blast, and that is correct to some degree. However, I also kinda hate the urban experience. The food, shopping, touring cool landmarks is all...

    What are you currently playing?

    Ahh Yes, Far Cry 5; probably one of the earliest Ubisoft games that left me confused and divided. On one hand, the Mid-west depiction was phenomenal, and Hope county was so much fun to explore. I normally hate doing side contents especially in open-world games, but here hunting, fishing...

    Following Metroid Zero Mission, I also did 100% run on Metroid Fusion This game felt a lot harder than zero mission, as Samus feels very vulnerable to everything at the beginning. I feel her power up sequence is very slow, until you get the plasma beam. Which does make the game a bit more...

    Okkaayy, kinda disappointed that it’s not the actual Vergil, but i guess it’s a foreshadowing of what’s to come? I mean the intro has all three main swords, so we will get to see them all soon

    A co-op shooter set in Control/Alan Wake universe. Looks fun enough, and as long as they don’t go overboard with live-service crap, i am down

    I'm on my vacation, so I thought why not download some Nintendo gba games using "alternative" methods? So I played Metroid Zero Mission, and while this is my nth time playing this game, it was my first attempt at 100%. And holy cow, for a game developed for a handheld device, it offered much...

    Do my eyes deceive me? An IGN video that’s genuinely funny, and gives insights on what the game is like? Maybe pigs can fly

    Holy shit, this might be the first time that i actually go watch a MCU movie, in a very long time. The last one i watched was Shang-Chi, while the rest i felt didn’t click. NGL, I didn’t recognize half of the casts here, while others completely threw me off; As soon as I saw Ian McKellen and...

    https://www.club386.com/leaked-xbox-ui-mock-up-shows-a-curious-steam-category/ Okay, if this is real, it might be one of the smartest decision from Xbox; imagine playing your steam library games, including PS Studio games on your Xbox console. Still doesn’t solve the core issue of the lack of...

    AC Shadows is out (whoop-die-fucking-do), and the reviews are here. Apparently this games is alright in terms of story? a bit of a slow burner though before it actually gets good. Stealth actually feels like stealth (at least when you play as Naoe), with improved enemy AI Also no more...
