Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 21, "The Super Show!"

Woo! It certainly is a super day today! It's the first day of my first vacation of this summer, and I'm feeling, well, super! That feeling will quickly fade as I realize that without the structure work provides my pitiful life, I'm horribly lost and bored, but for now, let's talk about some NES games with "Super" in the title! Because today is super! *forced grin*

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 20, "Celebrate Rebellion!"

Well. This seems like a pretty good weekend to write about the Star Wars games. After all, there are some remarkable similarities between Star Wars and the American Revolution. By which I mean, there was a rebellion, and um, that bit where Benedict Arnold turned to the Dark Side and force-choked Jar-Jar Binks and I should have paid more attention in history class. Anyway. Let's talk about old games! 

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 19, "SNAAAAAAAAKE!"

Well this week was fun. I royally screwed up someone's email account by deleting their calendar and notes--I blame Outlook. Outlook is terrible--and also managed to delete like 5000 songs' artist information in my music collection. So yeah. I'm in a mood to whine and moan about terrible NES games. We're getting towards the end of this journey, too! In the last third of the pile by now. Bet you thought I'd never make it. Anyway, here we goooooo!

Untimely Revue: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 1

Welcome to the first episode of Untimely Reviews here on Cthulhu Wept! I've done this before elsewhere, but it's time to do it here. Anyway, the target today is Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season One. Letsago!

You know, the first time I tried to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, I couldn't even finish the first episode. Something just didn't jive with me. Whether that was my expectations going in, where I was in life, or just me having a bad day, I don't know. What I do know is that I've really enjoyed watching the first season (I'm around half-way through season two, and I need to pick it back up). What follows is based on my notes as I watched, organized roughly into sections, with some overlap in spots.

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 18, "Skate Or Buy! (My Book)"

It's been a while! Life (well, school) hit me pretty dang hard for the last few months. Finally done with college, though. I've got my $160,000 piece of paper that says I can put words together good. Which is nice. And now I'm finally playing video games again. (Currently, The Witcher--the first game!--and retro games). Anyway, you're here to read about old games! Letsago!

Untimely Revue: Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Yep. I'm playing old games again. This might be the last Untimely Revue for a while, since haha what is a senior project, so savor it. Make it last. Like a really delicious piece of candy. Or your first kis--Oh, who are you kidding? You haven't kissed anyon--Sorry. Projecting again. 

Backlog Blitz: NES, Week 17, "I Forgot to Put a Title In"

Yeah, I missed a week. Whatevs. Life happens. Deal with it. Let's talk about old games. Old games are cool. Most of them. Let's talk about ones that aren't so cool.
