Terrorbane – a Review

June 12, 2023June 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments game, review

The other day, I was supposed to have a gaming horror night, but we didn’t really have anything that scary to play. So we decided to play a normal game. Well, normalish. The boyfriend picked up Terrorbane. Or, to make it a bit more obvious, tERRORbane. This is a fun little pixel RPG game, where there are a lot of errors. The game starts off simple enough, with a conversation with an otherwise nameless video game developer, who calls themselves Dev. This fictional developer has made a cool game called Terrorbane and wants us to play it, but not everything… [Continue Reading]

A Quick Look At Castle Crashers

April 7, 2023March 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments beat 'em up, cartoony, game

Trying to find a common ground in video games is hard. There are so many games to play, but not everyone has them. And on top of that, not everyone is even on the same platform. This was a difficulty that I have found quite a lot while playing games with my boyfriend. But we did eventually stumble on one game we both owned: Castle Crashers. Castle Crashers has been out for ages, but I never got around to playing it, because it’s a beat-them-up game. I’m not normally into that sort of thing, mostly because I suck at them.… [Continue Reading]

We’re Doomed – A Panic-Causing Board Game

January 6, 2022December 29, 2021 Medic 0 Comments 15 minutes, board game, doomed, game, review

As much as I love board games, they do tend to go on for a while. That’s not always a bad thing, but sometimes you want to play a nice, quick, short board game. Something that is fun but cleans up nicely when it’s done. To put it another way, the gang and I take forever to finish any board game. Thankfully, I bought my brother a gift for Christmas, and it’s just what we were looking for. We’re Doomed! We’re Doomed is a simple table top game that can support up to 10 players. As the name suggests, it’s… [Continue Reading]

A Late Farewell to Adobe Flash

January 12, 2021January 6, 2021 Medic 0 Comments flash, game, orisinal morning sunshine

Adobe Flash has reached the ‘end of its life’. This means that it will no longer be updated, and browsers will no longer play it or automatically run it. If you still have Adobe Flash Player installed, Adobe will pester you about it. They will ask you to either uninstall Adobe Flash, or check you have the latest version. All things considered, Adobe Flash was dying out anyway, but this is the final nail in the coffin. Now, in the modern era, Adobe Flash is hardly used. But in the earlier times of the internet, most notably in the late… [Continue Reading]

Bionicle: Quest for Mata Nui – An Amazing Fan-Made Bionicle Game in the Works

April 24, 2020April 23, 2020 Medic 0 Comments bionicle, fan game, game

I’ve always loved Bionicle, and frankly, without it, I probably wouldn’t be here today. My obsession with the mysterious LEGO brand jump-started my interest in, well, the internet. Because of Bionicle, I eventually started going online to do more than look for pictures and maybe use MySpace. Basically Bionicle was my entire teenage upbringing. And Bionicle had its fingers in a multitude of places. While the movies were mostly straight to video or DVD, we had not just LEGO toys, but so much more. Graphic novels, comics, collectible CDs, McDonalds toys, all done very well. The game side of Bionicle… [Continue Reading]

A Quick Glance at the Spyro Reignited Trilogy

October 24, 2019October 17, 2019 Medic 0 Comments dragon, game, platforming, remake, Spyro

Everyone here knows that I love dragons, but it might be a bit of a surprise to hear that I was never really a massive Spyro the Dragon fan. Sure, I liked the games and had a few of them, but my first Spyro experiences were demo discs and Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, which was one of the worst games of the early series, slow, laggy and taking five or more minutes to get to each level. I never played the newer series, but from what I’ve seen, I’m not missing out on much, although the free-flying in the last… [Continue Reading]

Some answers do look absolutely awful. This was funny in my family but might not work so well with older or less funny people.

Surviving the Internet…

February 27, 2018February 23, 2018 Medic 0 Comments game, jackbox, pack, party, review

The fourth Jack Box Party Pack is an interesting one. A very mixed bag of games, many of which honestly go on for way too fucking long. The five games are a little all over the place. Although for a while for us there were only four games because Civic Doodle didn’t work for some stupid reason. I’ve been playing these with the siblings, the parents and some friends and it’s just mixed everywhere. Mostly. Fibbage 3 is just like Fibbage 1 and 2, it isn’t amazingly new or anything even if the art is kinda nice. There’s a new… [Continue Reading]

Shadow Warrior: Special Edition is currently 100% absolutely free on Humble Bundle for the next day or so, and you can get it here. As well as the base game, you also get the official Shadow Warrior soundtrack, a digital art book and two unique weapons – a Serious Sam 3 sledgehammer and a Hotline Miami katana. It’s a first person shooter and hack-and-slash game with a somewhat loud-mouthed, over-excited protagonist, if the trailer is to be believed. The game appears to have that Serious Sam vibe, with a pinch of Saints Row style over the top gangstas evil corporations,… [Continue Reading]

Grim Dragons – A 2D Dragon in a 3D World

June 20, 2017July 3, 2017 Medic 0 Comments dragon, early access, game, game demo, grim dragons, review, roar

Every so often, I’ll go to the search function on the Steam store and type in the word ‘dragon’ to see what comes up. Normally it’s the same old same old. Dragon’s Dogma. Skyrim. Dragon Age. Dragonball games. Far Cry 3 – Blood Dragon. Then there’s the stuff which is most likely good, but I don’t want to play. That Dragon, Cancer is probably absolutely amazing, but I’m trying to escape reality, not be reminded of it. Most games with the search term are either JRPGs, RPG games of some sort, or side-scrolling games. Assuming that you actually get to… [Continue Reading]

MeeM’s Thoughts on Voxel Hat Dimension Hopper

December 11, 2016January 4, 2017 MysticTheMeeM 0 Comments fez, game, hat, review

For those of you who don’t know – That’s FEZ. FEZ is a small game about a guy, called Gomez. He has a hat. More specifically, a fez. This covers the majority of the storyline. The rest of the storyline centres around the magical ability of this fez. It allows Gomez to visit unseen dimensions. Not quite a third dimension, but simply different perspectives of the same dimension. If you get what I mean. And if you don’t… you won’t. The thing about a FEZ is that (slightly less than) half of the game can be achieved solely through the application… [Continue Reading]
