Electric Barrier Reviews

NieR: Automata was a game I did not play until just recently. See, I hate this game's fans. Automata gained massive popularity and everyone ranted and raved about it. They ranted and raved mostly about things that... the game this is a sequel to did. Sympathetic enemies, a depressing tone, a philosophical story, gorgeous music, great characterization, gorgeous music, and a final ending which wipes your save file. These are all things the original NieR did, and unfortunately for me the gaming press at large and even many fans of the game don't really talk about what Automata does that NieR didn't do. The fact that so many upstarts who either had never heard of either Drakengard or NieR, or worse thought the first game was mediocre-bad, well you can imagine how a big fan of the original could develop some negative feelings for this game and its fans, to say the least. You know what, screw being civil for the sake of an articulate review. Fuck you posers w...

Hey there, and welcome to my 2018 game of the year post! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Gonna be honest, I've been going through some shit recently and I don't really feel like doing much of this. I feel like I'd much rather be doing something else instead of writing this because I really lack the motivation... however, I'm going to try and not totally half ass this, but it's gonna be a lot lazier than last time. But! I am gonna try to do this, and then later when I've finished up this anime season I'll make an anime of the year post too. Fun Fact: While writing this, I got the flu or something, puked a bunch and then slept for like 12 hours, missing like a day and a half. That's part of why this is so late. Before we begin, I have two things to go over! A. Games I played this year that weren't released this year, and B. Games that were released this year that I wanted to play but didn't. To start, we'll do games I played that weren't fr...

About a day ago, I got a pretty good deal on Ebay. I happened to have some 5 dollar off coupon that ebay gave me to go "hey man you should BUY some shit", and someone was selling a somewhat messed up VHS box set of the Star Wars Trilogy for 10 dollars. So, using my $5 dollar coupon, I bought it, for only $5! This is it. See, it's somewhat messed up. It doesn't seem to come with the slipcover it's supposed to, and it's clear that copy of Return of the Jedi is one of the original, individual releases. Actually, hold that thought. You're looking at me funny. You're going "why the hell would you, in nearly the year of our lord anno domini two-thousand and nineteen, buy VHS tapes?". Well first off, I like VHS tapes. Certainly, for some movies I really do want them on blu-ray, as the cinematography, use of color, overall seriousness, or perhaps just quality of the film says to me "I need to see this in high definition", and...
