Wish List 2024

Image
Hello, hello… hello. I’m back with a new wish list (I never know if it’s “wish list” or “wishlist”), I don’t think there I got many ideas this year and I think some of them I’ve mentioned in different posts here and there but oh well. You should know what to expect out of me by now. As usual, I’ll go over my favorite ideas from years past, just to keep hope and sorrow alive. I would love a Monster Hunter 2D, pixel-ish fighting game where the characters are wyverns from the games. Waifu Division. I’m still playing Blue Archive from time to time, I really like the way the characters use AR in the game, I would use that in a third person Waifu shooter. Nintendo VS Sega Smash. There’s gotta be a new Mario Kart soon right? New Switch, new Mario Kart? Last wish list I mentioned wanting more Power Rangers games and there is a new beat ‘em up coming out next month, Rita’s Rewind. Petty excited about that. I’d like them to do something besides Mighty Morphin’ though. I get it, they’re icon

Blue Skies and WoW Times 6 I guess

              Hello! It’s been a while. *looks* Eh, a little over a month, I thought it was longer, but also might be the first time for some of you because this is the first post I’ve shared on Bluesky and only on Bluesky since Elon is being a dingdong on the other site. At this point I feel like he’s just trying to make it so it’s his own private platform for him and his goons, kind of like another dingdong I could mention, anyway, there hasn’t really been all that much going on for me to write about nor have I had much time to write. To my surprise I’m still playing WoW and as such I have more to talk about concerning that. I don’t know, there’s just a lot for me to do right now or I can always find something to do I guess. (Edit: Some add-ons before cross posting to Twitter, all these parentheses are new things. WarCraft has been a big part of my life and right at the moment they’re having a 20 th anniversary for WoW and a 30 th , ehh, kind of celebration for WarCraft as a whole.

The War Within

  Hello. It’s been a while. I’ve been very busy and nothing has really happened that I had strong feelings about so yeah. Much to my surprise I’m actually playing The War Within as it’s live and so far I think it’s pretty good but there’s things that still bother me so here I am. I’m sure I’m going to repeat myself a bit since I’ve made so many posts about WoW this year but I’m tired of trying to keep track of everything. So for the most part TWW feels like WoW. Shadowlands and Dragonflight didn’t feel like WarCraft. They felt like somebody else’s problem. Like, they were BIG problems. All the different afterlives, that’s not something a bunch of normies can just deal with. But, for me, those two just didn’t feel like WarCraft but TWW seems to be back on track.             The thing that bothers me right now is the fact that Horde and Alliance can’t quest together. I thought that was the whole point of having cross faction guilds? I thought that was the starting point. Arguably the

2024 E3 Season Takeaways

               Whoa, easy there Philly, you know you’re promoting games right?   “ It’s just not true that if we go off and build great games, all of the sudden you’re going to see console shares shift” is what you said. What a strange take, also; THAT’S EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS…   Hello, the “E3” season is mostly over with the ever mysterious Nintendo waiting to drop whatever they’ve got tucked away on us at some point in the next four months but surprisingly what I saw got me excited about gaming for the first time in a while and more surprisingly it was mostly from the Xbox showcase.             I haven’t really been genuinely excited about games for a long time because Sony and Xbox’s first party stuff haven’t really done anything for me and everything else has been hero shooters, other multiplayer focused crap or soulslikes. Nintendo always delivers which is fine but it’s nice to see the others doing SOMETHING for a change. Just recently I’ve been playing Astro’s Playroom in betwe

Slow NPCs, Infinite Xbox Controllers and PS Missing IPs

              Hello. Nothing really going on at the moment, some exciting news has been popping up here and there with the “E3 season” upon us but nothing I really have comments on. Monster Hunter Wilds is looking pretty hype, 40k Space Marine 2 looks fun, Mechanicus 2 was a pretty cool announcement, Tactical Breach Wizards demo, Zenless Zone Zero is almost here and who knows if that’ll be any good. A lot of single player/co-op stuff on my radar are releasing soon so that’s cool but I have a ton of stuff I’ve been sitting on that I haven’t played/finished so I’m kind of trying to do that. I got Animal Well on my Steam Deck to play at work on breaks, I’ve been playing Astro’s Playroom and Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Hellblade 2 and Ghost of Tsushima (on PC) just came out so yeah. But there have been random things I’ve noticed that I wanted to blather on about for a bit.             I don’t understand in games when you have an NPC talking and walking with you why they can never finish

Ghost Recon, AssCreed, Switch 2, Oh My

                 Hello. All sorts of things and rumors I can talk about today. Eh, I’ll just get into it, I’m sure the title will be enough to tell you what’s going to be in this.             Some new info on a new Ghost Recon game has come out. Possibly just rumors and there’s probably more out there I just heard about two things I think. One being the plot is set during a fictional war, that’s all I really know. If I remember right Breakpoint takes place further in the future then our present and obviously before Future Soldier so maybe this new game will be after FS? Could be cool. The other thing I’ve heard is they want to go back to a FPS view which I’m on the fence about. I like the third person view myself and the only time I ever played Ghost Recon when it was an FPS was way back when on my family’s first iMac that had a demo of Ghost Recon. In the game you controlled three squads that you could switch between and you played a unit from that squad. It was a little weird and a

Personality

                Hello. I don’t really have anything going on right now, there’s this idea I’ve been sitting on (whoops, hold on, not double spaced. There we go) so I don’t know how long this will actually be but let’s just roll with it. I’ve been watching, and have watched as I’m sure most of you have, a lot of fantasy anime lately. Delicious in Dungeon, Jobless Reincarnation, I’m in Love with the Villainess, Redo of Hea - I MEAN Re:Zero, Frieren, etc and in these shows characters usually have a personality type or something they value more than anything. Some are obsessed with money, others strength, cooking food, finding rare things and I see that and then I look at video games that give you conversation choices and I think “why?”                When we play Monster Hunter, for whatever reason, I usually decide my character really likes money and if there’s a bonus objective for the mission that rewards us with more zenny then that is what I go for. Aside from making the personal cho
