On my summer vacation, I decided it was time for me to go to Silent Hill. Welcome to Silent Hill. While I was driving all over creation, I made a stop in a very peculiar place in northeastern Pennsylvania. There’s a town there named Centralia, which isn’t a town anymore. In the 1960’s, a fire […]
The time has finally come for me to admit to myself that I need to let go of a beloved handheld. For almost two years, I’ve been aware it was on the edge of death. This weekend, it finally went. I’m going to miss my PSP. I’ve had this same PSP for about five or […]
Back in the day, I remember EverQuest being the undisputed king of MMORPGs. EverQuest is coming back, in a very unique fashion. They’re taking a page out of Minecraft and allowing players to create and destroy the environments as they see fit. Before EverQuest Next, we’re going to get EverQuest Next: Landmark, which is essentially […]
Does the news about Breath of Fire 6 have you excited in one way or another? Does your excitement/rage have you wanting to play some older Breath of Fire titles? Thankfully, Capcom is going to release the Breath of Fire II on the Wii U Virtual Console. They haven’t given a specific timeframe as to […]
Kris Straub and Scott Kurtz have a new web cartoon based off of Mappy hosted by ShiftyLook, which is a subsidiary of Namco Bandai Games. Their series debuted a week ago, and they’ll have a new episode every week. It’s good stuff, especially if you’re familiar with the franchises. Dig Dug cracks me up, and […]
So, I came across something interesting today and it looked like this: The original Mega Man? Seems legit, right? Yeah, it’s Mega Man, but it’s not running on an NES. It’s running on a TurboGrafx-16. Random NES conversions aren’t an uncommon thing, but what really makes this special is the attention to detail the programmer […]
In the past month and amidst the Steam Summer Sale, I purchased two games that were not yet complete: Cube World and Mercenary Kings. However, buying these games now will allow you to play the games in their current state, and sure I’ll play the role of beta tester. Why the hell not? This is […]
If you’re finding your wallet is a bit empty, it might be because you took advantage of the Steam Summer Sale. Last year I skipped it, but this year I didn’t come out empty handed. I now have Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin. As a huge Ys fan, I think I’m a […]
“So what did they change from 1.0?” many would ask me in regards to the soon-to-be-relaunched Final Fantasy XIV 2.0, most commonly known with the subtle subtitle “A Realm Reborn.” “So it’s just World of Warcraft with Final Fantasy painted all over it?” to which I reply with “Yeah… I guess?” as I’m frantically trying […]
Welcome back to the second installment of Gaming Shenanigans here on The Mog Blog! Are we still called that? Hmm… Anyway, I kind of goofed last time I posted one of these. This is supposed to be a near daily thing we’re doing. That didn’t happen, and I apologize for that. In fact, everything in […]
