Thunder Tier One recently released on Steam, and while I was initially quite excited for it, having had my time with the full game, I’m not so impressed. Now, I’ll go ahead and say this outright: at $19.99 USD, Thunder Tier One is one of those games that’s probably more than decent for its price […]

Follow-Up Interview with Hakita
Hakita has graciously come back once again. If you’ve missed it (because I do like no advertising, yeah, yeah), you can read the first interview here. You can even check a review based on an earlier iteration of the game here, too. This time I’ve asked him about more inspirations, design questions, and even philosophy! […]
Vernal Edge: Developer Interview
Matt and Alex (HyMyNameIsMatt & Pluswplus), the developers for Vernal Edge, went and answered some questions! Peruse at your leisure, then perhaps consider following one of the links down at the bottom and maybe getting some time with the game if you’re feeling a little… Spicy. Would you mind introducing yourselves? Matt: I’m Matt, I […]
The Lab
There’s usually stuff I’ve recorded but it never gets actually brought onto the website because it just sits, waiting for me to get around to what I wanted to do with it rather than exploiting its value. That’s problematic as I’ve been trying to consider how best to maintain a schedule and how to move […]
Thunder Tier One: Developer Interview
Once upon a time (that is, late last year), I tried out a game called Thunder Tier One: a top-down, tactical shooter with a solid authentic flavor and solidly smooth gameplay. The experience was more than decent and the developers even held a speed running competition. Suffice to say, it was pretty dope. At the […]
War Thunder Review
War Thunder is one of the more interesting titles on the free-to-play market: it more or less has established the standard for realistic vehicular combat, but simultaneously, the majority of the gameplay is largely involving suffering, punishment, and forced extraction of money from your wallet if you want to break even towards the higher ends […]
The Problem with Modern Matchmaking
This is a topic that is more or less extremely important and dear to my heart, simply because I have had a lot of experience in this particular area being both that I am someone who at one point was extremely competitively driven, as well as the fact I’ve been keenly aware of how the […]
Hathaway’s Flash: A Response to Ignorance
I am, absolutely, an unabashed Gundam nerd. I know almost every single mobile suit from the Universal Century, I know a bunch of dumb little tidbits about the overall mechanical design of Federation and Zeonic mobile suits, I’ve read the original trilogy of novels by Tomino and I find them to be one of the […]
Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Survival Guide
Mechwarrior 5 is a game which I would absolutely like to do a review on… But someone very close got me the base game, so I can’t necessarily make a fair judgement on the pertinent topics; however, because the game is lacking in a number of ways, one’s overall mileage may vary significantly with the […]
OBS Settings for Recording
I get asked this a fair bit, but before we continue, I need to specify that my settings are because I have different requirements than your average user: I apologize if you’re a streamer who ended up here because of Google (HA, that’s unlikely, but possible), these settings are not for you; however, if you’re […]
