I decide not to begin the grind immediately. Now that the whole map is open to me I can get a bunch of other things done before its too late, things like side quests and a whole bunch of shopping. I pick a point on the map and just head there to see what there […]

Final Fantasy XIV: A Whole Lotta Unlockin
This week things are going to differ from previous posts relating to Cryspi Wonton’s adventures through Eorzea, previous instalments have dumped a whole load of story on you, name dropping people left, right and centre, there will obviously be a bit of that, but with how much I got through last night, this post would […]
#ThrowbackThursday: Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 33
A Rather short update this week, maybe I should have included this last week, but the point I was at seemed like a good cliff hanger. Anyway, there’s a couple of reasons for this, as I write, I’ve had hardly any time with the game, partially because I’ve been playing Persona 5 Royal and partially […]
Final Fantasy XIV: Midweek homework
So, Saturday evening I didn’t quite get to the same stage as most of the rest of the group who have rolled new characters over on the Behemoth server. The majority had boarded airships and reached the first dungeon. That was my goal for the week so that I was at the same starting point […]
bitparade: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (Vita)
Theres an increasingly noisey debate about what makes a game a game, with the likes of Proteus offering very little in regards to interactive elements and titles like Phoenix Wright focusing on character interaction, the past 10 years in videogames have really branched out and genuinely challenged what it is that makes us put something […]

#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 32
Zidane is awoken by a soldier who tells him that Lady Hilda has called a meeting in the Conference Room. However, before I go I decide to check in with Mogki, I don’t have any letters for her but she does want me to deliver one to Kumool. I then decide that I’ll go and […]
Guantanamo Voices: True Accounts from the World’s Most Infamous Prison – Sarah Mirk
Something like Guantanamo Voices is a difficult thing to review, much like Art Spiegelman’s “Maus”, it exists as a documentation of the horrors that humans can carry out on each other, like Maus, it’s not intended to be “enjoyed”, its there to educate, using a medium that many (wrongly) associate with being juvenile, and thus […]
bitparade: Surge Deluxe (Vita)
Surge Deluxe, an update of PlayStation Mobile title Surge, is a “Match-3” puzzle game from Velocity Ultra developers Futurlab. The basic premise of the game is to connect 2 or more coloured blocks in order to eventually clear each screen and move on to the next one, all with under the pressure of being on […]
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Restarted
I’m going to making a few changes over the next couple of weeks, nothing drastic, but just shuffling stuff around, predominantly as my archived reviews will be coming to an end soon and because I want to write about other things. The main thing I want to begin to write about is Final Fantasy XIV. […]
