The usual spoiler warnings apply for the Blind Lady Versus posts. But in this case I didn’t get to finish the game. Oxenfree is the first video game which has outright scared me in a while. it’s a cute game, visually, but the ways in which it manifests the haunting within the game makes you feel as though you’ve… Read more →
SPOILER ALERT FOR THE GAME FIREWATCH. I can’t talk about this game without talking about what happens – not really. I’ll do my best, though. The first ten minutes of Firewatch made me cry. Not because anything happened that was overly dramatic, but because the choices that I made were important to character development, and the way that they chose… Read more →
I finally finished Assassins Creed 2. It took me 5 months, a 2 week hiatus, and around 300 hours. While Portal 2 was significantly more frustrating (the swearing was ridiculous) this may have actually taken me longer than Portal 2 – a game for which there is no Blind Lady Versus. So let’s talk about AC1 real quick: I’m stuck… Read more →
It’s rare that a medium focused on what you can see addresses the issue of not seeing, and over the last year two games on this topic have either come out or been announced. The first of these is Beyond Eyes, which I played this last Sunday. Overall, the game is very accessible because it doesn’t really rely on you… Read more →
So. Normally I don’t post these until I’ve finished the game. Normally. This time, I hit a boss level, and despite a full day yesterday of trying to beat it (and nearly throwing my DS at the wall) I am posting without having beaten the game. Much like Diablo III, a boss was my undoing. What’s really difficult about reviewing… Read more →
Two weeks ago on Wednesday at 5am I left my house and flew to the first Gen Con of my life. I’d known since I was hired by Storium that I would need to attend as a professional, but also because I knew *so* many people who go, and who were encouraging me to attend. So, much like Blind Lady… Read more →
This past weekend was Dexcon, one of the Double Exposure cons. I’d told Shoshana Kessock of Phoenix Outlaw games that I would come play her game Dresden Lives, to let her know how it played for someone with a disability like mine. So I decided that since LARP isn’t my usual form of gaming, I should step out of my… Read more →
WARNING: This game review will not be spoiler free. I can’t remember when I started playing Borderlands 2, but I know it was at least in October, if not in September. A few months ago, I didn’t think I would be able to complete the game. I finished the game last night. (well, not REALLY because there are still side… Read more →
A bit on introduction. Elsa told me that I’m the first guy that has ever written content for this website. That’s a huge honor. For the majority of my life, I’ve identified as a white, straight, cis-male. I’ve come to understand that’s not completely the case. I’m something much closer to pansexual, and I’m decidedly genderfluid. I’m a tabletop game… Read more →
A couple weeks ago I decided to play the new Tomb Raider game and live tweet the experience. As a result of the livetweets, I’m definitely going to go play more games and livetweet them from a visually impaired perspective. Because you all seem to find it interesting. Obviously – a spoiler warning is HERE if you don’t want to… Read more →
