'02 was fair for me. Nothing special happened for me that year, just more pizza delivery and jam sessions, two great tastes that taste great together.
Recently I reviewed Gals Fighters, one of the best games on the NEO GEO Pocket Color. I loved that little handheld, and I’m glad they ported this game to the Switch! It took a more silly, lighthearted tone. Female fighters from other SNK series compete in the Q.O.F. (Queen of Fighters) tournament to win a talisman that grants any wish. But the stories they gave to each of the characters and their wishes are pretty silly, and since I like talking about silly fighting game characters, I thought I’d make a separate blog about them!
I don't know what connects any of these games I played today, but here they are.
Not a fan. I dont' like sneakin' in games. I'm no Gollum. But I did a lot of sneakin' the last few days in several games: Fable Anniversary, Alien Isolation and theHunter: Call of the Wild. I am so done with that.
As of January 1, 2020, we're entering a new decade in gaming (let's not go into pedantic debates about the.year zero here). It's hard to believe, it just seems like 2010, a time of Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, and Kinect, was just yesterday, and the world of the 2000s was still fresh in my mind.
It’s the final Nerds Without Pants of the year, and that means it’s time to take a look back at 2019, a look back at the 8th generation, and a look forward to the 9th generation. It’s a short episode that quickly balloons into a normal sized episode for…reasons!
Recently I reviewed SkullGirls: 2nd Encore. It’s a 2-D one-on-one fighter with cartoony graphics and I’ve been wanting to review it since 2012 when it came out, but for whatever reasons I wasn’t able to. But I got my chance when it came out on the Switch! For what’s considered an indie game, this one is very good. Almost on par with fighters like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear! I was very impressed with the creativity of the characters and even the storylines in the Story Mode were pretty interesting. And usually they aren’t in fighting games. So when that happens, I usually like to write a blog about the characters, and so we’ll do that here. Some slight story spoilers here and there, just to warn you, but the game HAS been out since 2012.
I have not been posting much recently. I do come in and out ever once and a while, so I thought I would come and give a quick update.
BOO! OK so these reviews aren’t really that scary, but it is getting near Halloween so here’s my not-so-scary themed latest batch of reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin…if you dare!
Welcome to another episode of Nerds Without Pants! This week, we talk about our favorite edgelords in video games! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been edging for the past two weeks and I’m about to pop. Wait…that’s not what edgelord means? Oh. Oh no. Um, we also have Joey aka Superstep on and determine who wins when Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon takes on Brave Fencer Musashi in the steel cage.
In the 80s arcades were everywhere and there were multiple home systems to choose from. I was a teenager. I rode a bike to the arcades and checked out all the home systems through my network of friends in the neighborhood. Atari had simple fun games, ColecoVision had the best arcade ports and Intellivision had the best simulations of sports. Let's take a look starting with 1980.
I got so long-winded last time when talking about the games in my last blog on the mini PlayStation Classic that I decided to split it into two blogs. So if you haven’t read that one yet, I encourage you to please do so. Anyway, here’s the second batch of games on the PlayStation Classic. I don’t have as much to say about most of these games, so hopefully this will go by a little faster.
Hello, boys and ghouls! It’s nearing the end of October, which means it’s time for the annual Halloween Havoc edition of Nerds Without Pants! We have some fun discussions in store for you, so let’s get right to it.
