Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Spoiler Space - don’t worry, I won’t say anything in the subject line
This is probably the first thing you want to know, right? I just want to get it out of the way...
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth review - What a strong RPG! What a disappointing story!
The short version of my take on Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is that you can read my review of the previous game, take each individual complaint, and imagine the reverse of that. The developers of Infinite Wealth have fixed every pain point of their previous RPG outing, finally reaching
If you loved Brave Bang Bang Bravern, I’m going to recommend some robot anime
I haven’t had the chance to talk about the current anime season much, but suffice to say my favorite was easily Brave Bang Bang Bravern. Director Masami Obari and writer Keigo Koyanagi delivered a strange, self-parodic, unpredictable, yet moving narrative packed with all the explosive heroics and joyous catharsis
Mahjong Stuff in Pon no Michi - Table of Contents
This is a table of contents for my project "Mahjong Stuff in Pon no Michi", a series of blog posts that explained most, if not all, of the inside mahjong details and jokes in the anime series Pon no Michi. If you've been reading along with
Mahjong Stuff in Pon No Michi Episode 12 (Final) - Janta-kun's Minor Illness
Well, here we are at the final post of the “Mahjong Stuff in Pon no Michi” project, one I never gave a better name. This show was honestly a bit of a trudge— I maintain that episode 6, the all-night mahjong episode, was actually quite good— but playing mahjong consultant
Mahjong Stuff in Pon No Michi Episode 11 - The New Year and Malaysia
Okay, now this week definitely tops the previous week for lack of mahjong-related content. Of course, we’re also drawing close to the end and I don’t have to explain things twice. But the mahjong content in the show is actually also going down, even though the girls spend
Mahjong Stuff in Pon No Michi 10 - Christmas Mahjong American Style
The Christmas party at the parlor is one of the mahjong-lightest episodes yet, second only to maybe the barbecue.
Mahjong Stuff in Pon No Michi Episode 9 - Let's Go To The Festival! But First Let's Play Mahjong All Episode
An episode that looks like it’s going to be about an unusual local festival is actually a full episode of the girls trying to out-cheat each other at the mahjong table. I find this series is frequently caught between trying to be about the girls playing mahjong and the
I’ll teach you some of the old rogue ways in Shiren The Wanderer 6
If I could only offer you a single piece of advice for the Mystery Dungeon series— and the traditional roguelike in general— it would be to think before you move. Your greatest weapon in this game is the fact that it is turn-based. It’s easy to forget this, as
Mahjong Stuff In Pon No Michi Episode 8 - There's No Way You Made Three Thousand Lanterns
There’s actually very little mahjong content in this week’s Pon No Michi, and quite a few scenes that I found weird and confusing, so forgive me if I walk off the path a little bit and tear into this show a little bit. It’s eight episodes in
Mahjong Stuff in Pon No Michi Episode 7 - Pai Means Many Things
I wanted to make absolutely sure this went up today, as today is Pi Day (3/14). It's possible that all the delays in my life have led up to this moment.
Thank you, Akira Toriyama
My first experience with the works of Akira Toriyama was from a pack of bootleg playing cards. One day in the 90s on the drive home from school, a friend showed off these flashy, foil-covered, tacky playing cards with the most amazing art on them. Some kind of family of
